11、associated with modernization such as the breakdown (崩溃) in traditional in- stitutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact. “Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as

12、stable family and community life. “The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics.No. 2 on the list is Switzerland.

20、nes. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,“ she said, “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me: like when I met Sandra, a

21、13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her. “The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines. “ And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, “whic

To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princesss trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation

24、 in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princesss views on landmines were not very different from government poliey, and that it w

25、as “working towards“ a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding. “For the Princess, the trip to this war torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering

I made

32、the point that one reason were seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that its no longer a given (假定的事实) that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.At that point, one of the male crew members commented, almost

33、to himself but loud enough for my benefit, “It should be the better parent who stays home. “ A lot of guys say things like that. Usually its a code for, “My wife, (read: any woman) is the better parent. “I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so this declaration made me bristle (激动). It implie

34、d that our familys choice could only have been correct if I was a “better“ parent than my wife.I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better“ parent: She had spent more time with Roy, could read him better and calm him more quickly. And given a cho

35、ice, hed have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one. my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.Because of the increased time I spent with him, I soon knew Roy well, understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, the

36、experience helped me unlock one of the worlds great secrets : Women are good at looking after children because they do it. Its not because of any innate (先天的) female aptitude (天资) or a mothers instinct, its because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.Women obviously

37、 get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I dont know. Who cares?

Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more.Tim Flower

43、s and Tony Yeo, from Sussex Universitys School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty.The pair have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research

44、Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice.It is estimated that each year more than 100 hectares(公顷) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts(妨碍生长) plants. The pr

45、oblem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves(红树林) that create swamps(沼泽) and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep(渗透) in. In Latin America, irrigation

46、 often causes problems when water is evaporated(蒸发) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind.Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.To overcome these problems, Flow

47、ers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little slat and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resuiting seeds are ready to be

48、considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer c

49、ountries of the world.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true?（分数：3.00）A.They are students at Sussex University.B.They are rice breeders.C.They are husband and wife.D.They are colleagues at an institution of higher learnin(2).Flowers and Yeo have started a programme_.（分数：3.00）A.to find ways to prevent
