20、rs thirty years before about the smell. That was two years after her fathers death and a short time after her sweetheart-the one we believed would marry her-had deserted her. After her fathers death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all. A few of the

21、ladies had the temerity to call, but were not received, and the only sign of life about the place was the Negro man-a young man then-going in and out with a market basket.“Just as if a man-any man-could keep a kitchen properly, “the ladies said; so they were not surprised when the smell developed. I

22、t was another link between the gross, teeming world and the high and mighty Griersons.A neighbor, a woman, complained to the mayor , Judge Stevens, eighty years old.“But what will have me do about it, madam? “he said.“Why, send her word to stop it, “ the woman said. “Isnt there a law?“Im sure that w

23、ont be necessary, “ Judge Stevens said. “Its probably just a snake or a rat that nigger of hers killed in the yard. Ill speak to him about it.“The next day he received two more complaints, one from a man who came in diffident deprecation. “We really must do something about it, Judge, Id be the last

24、one in the world to bother Miss Emily, but weve got to do something.“ That night the Board of Aldermen met three graybeards and one younger man, a member of the rising generation.“Its simple enough.“ he said. “Send her word to have her place cleaned up. Give her a certain time to do it, and if she d

25、oesnt. “Damn it, sir.“ Judge Stevens said, “will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad?“So the next night, after midnight, four men crossed Miss Emilys lawn and slunk about the house like burglars, sniffing along the base of the brickwork and at the cellar openings while one of them performe

26、d a regular sowing motion with his hand out of a sack slung from his shoulder. They broke open the cellar door and sprinkled lime there, and in all the outbuildings. As they recrossed the lawn, a window that had been dark was lighted and Miss Emily sat in it, the light behind her, and her upright to

27、rso motionless as that of an idol. They crept quietly across the lawn and into the shadow of the locusts that lined the street. After a week or two the smell went away, That was when people had begun to feel really sorry for her. People in our town, remembering how old lady Wyatt, her great aunt, ha

28、d gone completely crazy at last, believed that the Griersons held themselves a little too high for what they really were. None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such. We had long thought of them as a tableau. Miss Emily a slender figure in white in the background, her father

29、 a spraddled silhouette in the foreground, his back to her and clutching a horsewhip, the two of them framed by the back-flung front door. So when she got to be thirty and was still single, we were not pleased exactly, but vindicated; even with insanity in the family she wouldnt have turned down all

30、 of her chances if they had really materialized.When her father died, it got about that the house was all that was left to her; and in a way, people were glad. At last they could pity Miss Emily, Being left alone, and a pauper, she had become humanized. Now she too would know the old thrill and the

31、old despair of a penny more or less.The day after his death all the ladies prepared to call at the house and offer condolence and aid, as is our custom. Miss Emily met them at the door, dressed as usual and with no trace of grief on her face. She told them that her father was not dead. She did that

32、for three days, with the ministers calling on her. and the doctors, trying to persuade her to let them dispose of the body. Just as they were about to resort to law and force, she broke down, and they buried her father quickly.We did not say she was crazy then. We believed she had to do that. We rem

33、embered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her. as people will.（分数：5.00）(1).The four men sneaked about Miss Emilys house to A. steal valuable things.

38、ean Union, which resists it. Proponents of GM crops say they are sage, good for the environment and may provide cheaper and better food. Opponents say GM is unnatural, dangerous and unnecessary.It is perhaps little wonder that Europeans, remembering such recent scares as mad-cow disease, have balked

39、 at the prospect of eating or growing GM food. Americans argue that this nervousness is scientifically unjustified and serves European political-and farm-interests nicely by keeping out competition. Hence Americas willingness to arraign the Europeans before the World “grade Organization unless the E

40、U lifts its five-year moratorium on new GM varieties.When it comes to the science. American is right. As yet another (British) panel concluded this week, there is no evidence that GM crops now in commercial cultivation are more dangerous to human health than conventional food. So there is no reason

41、why Europeans should not eat the GM food that Americans already consume by the siloful, nor why their governments should obstruct GM imports.As for growing GM crops, experience outside Europe suggests that they are no worse for the environment than normal farming, and can be better. But this is not

42、to say that GM crops will be benign everywhere. Farming is not like medicine, with a biotech drug that cures in Peoria having the same effect in Paris. Introducing GM crops into Europe justifies rigorous testing to see how they affect local conditions. Such uncertainties are best dealt with by more

43、research, not blanket rejection.If this research confirms that GM crops have no more detrimental environmental effects than conventional farming, they should be approved for commercial use. Thanks to scaremongering by green lobbyists and organic farmers, and much media frenzy, most European shoppers

44、 will probably remain mistrustful. But there has been some shift in opinion: hostility to GM food seems to be abating. That hostility will fall away faster should some GM food prove to be cheaper than non-GM food, which may yet happen.One reason for this is that, later this year, Europe will introdu

45、ce a needlessly elaborate new scheme of labelling and tracking GM foods right through the food chain, which is meant to give consumers more choice by alerting them to GM products. America criticizes the new labels partly because they single out “GM-derived“ ingredients, such as oils and sugars, whic

46、h are so refined as to lack any biological trace of genetic modification, and partly because the traceability requirements will be onerous. Yet America itself is working on tracking regulations to identify the provenance of ingredients and stem the risk of terrorist attack on its food supply. Labell

47、ing in principle is fine, where consumers demand it, as in Europe-but the schemes do need to be well-designed.Europes farmers could benefit from some GM crops, but such gains pale by comparison with the handouts they get from the Common Agricultural Policy. As for consumers, so far GM crops have mad

48、e little difference to the quality or cost of the goods in the supermarkets. The new labeling scheme may change that, by making it more costly to source wholly non-GM products. As GM technology develops, continued European rejection of GM could mean it loses out on future crops that might benefit its landscape, and boost its farm and science in
