A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs ch
8、emicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Patton, who started Genera five Years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.Andy Headland, Generas marketing director, recently presented the test at a conferen
9、ce in the USA and forecast good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at $42,500 a time in the U.K. and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the U.K. to be approved by the government

14、ince Scottish scientists reported that they had managed to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997 research into cloning has grown rapidly. In May 1998, scientists in Massachusetts managed to create WTO identical calves(牛犊)using cloning technology. A mouse has also been cloned successfully, but the debate
15、 over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement: “We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years,“ he told the world.2. Seeds announcement provoked a lot of media attention, most of it negative. In Europe, nineteen nations
16、 have already signed an agreement banning human cloning and in the U.S. the President announced: “We will be introducing a law to ban all human cloning and many states in the U.S. will have passed anticloning laws by the end of the year.“3. Many researchers are not so negative about cloning. They ar
17、e worried that laws banning human cloning will threaten important research. In March, The New England Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken. Many researchers also believe that in spite of attempts to ban it, human cloning will have become routine by
18、 2010 because it is impossible to stop the progress of science.4. Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded(轰炸)with newspaper articles, television shows and films, as well as cartoons. Such information is often misleading, and makes people won
19、der what on earth the scientists will be doing next.5. Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans. It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like. But how would it feel to be a clone among hundr

23、ayoffs mount, but executive pay continues to roar-at least so far. Business Weeks annual survey finds that chief executive officers (CEOS) at 365 of the largest companies got compensation last year averaging $3.1 million-up 1.3 percent from 1994.Why are the top bosses getting an estimated 485 times
24、the pay of a typical factory worker? That is up from 475 times in 1999 and a mere 42 times in 1980. One reason may be what experts call the “Lake Wobegon effect“. Corporate boards tend to reckon that “all CEOs are above average“ -a play on Garrison Keillors famous line in his public radio show, A Pr
25、airie Home Companion, that all the towns children are “above average“. Consultants provide boards with surveys of corporate CEO compensation. Since directors are reluctant to regard their CEOs as below average, the compensation committees of boards tend to set pay at an above-average level. The resu
26、lt: Pay levels get ratcheted up (一步步地增加).Defenders of lavish CEO pay argue there is such a strong demand for experienced CEOs that the free market forces their pay up. They further maintain most boards structure pay packages to reflect an executives performance. They get paid more if their companies
27、 and their stock do well. So companies with high-paid CEOs generate great wealth for their shareholders.But the supposed cream-of-the-crop executives did surprisingly poorly for their shareholders in1999, says Scott Klinger, author of this report by a Boston-based Organization United for a Fair Econ
28、omy. If an investor had put $10,000 apiece at the end of 1999 into the stock of those companies with the 10 highest-paid CEOs, by year-end 2000 the investment would have shrunk to $8,132. If $10,000 had been put into the Standard they are dying of starvation instead.Ive come to the conclusion that t

The gleaming glass-and-concrete habitat sprawling across the desert in Oracle, Arizona, was supposed to suppo
35、rt eight human “biospherians“ for two years. But the seal has to be broken before the experiment ended in 1993. Oxygen had fallen to levels normally seen at an elevation of 17,500 feet. Nitrous oxide had risen to the point where it threatened to cause brain damage. The fresh water supply became cont
36、aminated, and vines smothered (厚厚地覆盖) food plants. Insect pollinators (传授花粉的生物) and many other species became extinct. By the end, Biosphere was overrun with swarms of ants and cockroaches.Scientists who gathered recently to review the Biosphere experiment reached a disturbing conclusion: “No one ye
37、t knows how to engineer systems that provide humans with the life-supporting services that natural ecosystems produce for free.“The problem is that these ecosystems are undergoing wrenching changes. Water and air quality, while improving in some regions, are deteriorating in many others. Carbon diox
38、ide levels in the atmosphere are climbing. The worlds population could reach 10 billion by 2050. And famed Harvard biologist Edward O. Wilson says the current rate of species losses puts us “in the midst of one of the great extinction spasms (突然进发) of geological history.“ All of which makes many eco
39、logists wonder whether humans too will soon become extinct. Its an incredibly important but incredibly difficult question. If we continue on this course, were heading for a world in which we will have to engineer services weve always received for free from nature. Thats why the failure of Biosphere
40、was so disturbing: it proves that we dont yet know how to do that.The Biosphere experience demonstrated that maintaining human life is a tricky proposition-especially if we can no longer rely on the services provided by natural ecosystems. If we are currently living through a mass extinction, as Wil
41、son believes, we should consider the past. In the great Permian extinction 245 million years age, 96 percent of species perished. Eventually, the Earth was repopulated with a rich collection of new species, but it took 100 million years. “That should give pause to anyone who believes that what Homo
42、sapiens (现代人) destroys, nature will redeem,“ Wilson says. “Maybe so, but not within any length of time that has meaning for contemporary humanity.“（分数：15.00）(1).The seal of the Biosphere had to be broken before the experiment ended because A. the bad climate of the desert made the human biospherians
