BWith a presidential campaign, health care and the gun control debate in the news these days, one cant help getting sucked into the flame wars that are Internet comment threads. But psychologists sa
13、y this addictive form of vitriolic (刻薄) back and forth should be avoided or simply checked by online media outlets because it actually damages society and mental health.A perfect storm of factors come together to cause the rudeness and aggression seen in the comments sections of Web pages, said Mark
14、man, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. First, commenters are often nearly nameless, and thus, unaccountable for their rudeness. Second, they are at a distance from the target of their anger be it the article theyre commenting on or another comment on that article and pe
15、ople tend to go against distant abstractions more easily than living, breathing talkers. Third, its easier to be nasty in writing than in speech, hence the now somewhat out-of-date practice of leaving angry notes (back when people used paper), Markman said. And finally, Edward Wasserman, Knight Prof
16、essor in Journalism Ethics at Washington and Lee University, noted another cause of the vitriol: bad examples set by the media. “Unfortunately, mainstream media have made a fortune teaching people the wrong ways to talk to each other. People understandably conclude anger is the political vernacular
17、(行话 ) , that this is how public ideas are talked about,” Wasserman wrote in an article on his universitys website. “It isnt.”In Markmans opinion, media outlets should cut down on the anger and hatred that have become the model in reader exchanges. “Its valuable to allow all sides of an argument to b
18、e heard. To a greater degree, someone who is making a reasonable point but with an angry tone is hurting the nature of the argument, because they are promoting people to respond in a similar way,” he said. For their part, people should seek out actual human beings to communicate with, Markman said a
19、nd we should make a point of including a few people in our social circles who think differently from us. “Youll develop a healthy respect for people whose opinions differ from your own; the back-and-forth negotiation that goes on in having a conversation with someone you dont agree with is a skill a
20、nd its not easy to master it,” Markman said.58. Why do psychologists encourage people to stop attacking each other online? A. The social problems are too complex to figure out. B. The online media outlets will review the comments. C. The action does harm to society and individuals. D. The Internet u

To reveal the severe problems of the public media. C. To raise the awareness of proper communication. D. To urge people to carry out actual offli

CScientists should be allowed to change a persons DNA in ways that will be passed on to future generations, but only to prevent serious and strongly heritable (遗传) dis eases, according to a new report from the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine. Howe
24、ver, making changes to these genes in order to improve or change traits such as strength, intelligence or beauty should remain off-limits, the report authors concluded. Changing the so-called germline (种系) is illegal in the United States. It has largely been considered ethically off-limits here as w
25、ell, at least while bioethicists and scientists considered the unforeseen effects and unexamined moral dilemmas of using new gene-editing technologies.However, scientists have moved forward aggressively to explore the possibility of changing disease genes in other adult human cells with a revolution
26、ary technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. It is widely believed that gene editing of this sort could treat patients with metabolic (新陈代谢的) disorders, certain cancers, and a range of other diseases that arise from genetic mutations (突变) without changing the germline.Last year, Chinese scientists launched a
27、 trial that uses CRISPR-Cas9 in a treatment for lung cancer. While the trials outcome is awaited with high anticipation, scientists outside China have expressed concern that ethical reservations in the United States and Europe will put them at a disadvantage.来源:学|科| 网 Z|X|X|KCRISPR-Cas9 makes gene e
28、diting more straightforward, more precise and far more widespread. As such, the National Academies report acknowledges that changing heritable DNA in eggs, sperm and early embryos is fast becoming “a realistic possibility that deserves serious consideration.”The 22-member panel of scientists and bio
29、ethicists who produced the report completed a comprehensive review of the issues raised by that prospect.Clinical trials involving germline editing should only be pursued to treat diseases that cannot be improved with “reasonable alternatives,” the 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists said
30、. In addition, they added, scientists should convincingly demonstrate they are targeting a gene that either causes or strongly makes a carrier likely to suffer from a serious disease or condition, and that they have weighed the likely risks and benefits of changing that gene.Finally, scientists shou
31、ld conduct long-term follow-up studies to know how gene editing affects the next generations. Public debate and discussion about the technology should continue, the panel added.61. In what circumstances can scientists change a persons DNA?A. Making a person look much younger.B. Protecting future gen

Some ge rmline clinical trials and scientific effects of them.DWhen Peter Fortune was ten years old grown-up people sometimes used to tell him he was a “difficult” child. He never understood what they meant. He didnt feel difficult at all. He didnt throw milk bottles at t
36、he garden wall, or tip tomato ketchup over his head and pretend it was blood, or slash at his grannys ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He wasnt noisier or di
37、rtier or more stupid than anyone he knew. His name was easy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him. Poli
38、cemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to arrest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him?It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many years that Peter fi
39、nally understood. They thought he was difficult because he was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the park. He liked to be
40、 alone and think his thoughts.Now, grown-ups like to think they know whats going on inside a ten-year-olds head. And its impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summers afternoon, chewing a piece of grass and staring at t
41、he sky. “Peter, Peter! What are you thinking about?” they would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. “Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.” Grown-ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldnt hear it or see it or feel it. They couldnt tell Peter to stop it, because the
42、y did not know what it was he was doing in there. He could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called his name.As for bei
43、ng on his own, grown-ups didnt much like that either. They dont even like other grown-ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what youre up to. Youre up to what theyre up to. Peter had different ideas. In fact, he thought, if people spent less time joining in and making others join
44、in, and spent a little time each day alone remembering who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen.The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesnt say much is that the teachers at school, especially the ones who dont know you very well, are
45、likely to think you are rather stupid. Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for an answer. But the truth was quit

Where can the sentence “You have to join in, or youll spoil it for everyone else.” most probably be put? A. B. C. D. 68. What is the
48、main reason that Peter was considered “difficult” by grown-ups?A. He was far from communicative. B. He turned a deaf ear to others.C. He did not do well in his studies. D. He preferred to live on his own.69. What might the author continue to write about in the following part?A. Effective measures to
49、 help Peter out.B. How the unique ideas Peter had amazed others.C. Difficulties keeping Peter from learning well. D. Further prejudice against Peter among grown-ups. 70. What can serve as the best title of this passage? A. The Daydreamer B. The Troublemaker C. The Hard Nut D.
