Genetically modif
23、ied organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. Typically, genetically modified foods are transgenic plant products: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Animal products have also be
24、en developed, although as of July 2010 none are currently on the market.Critics have objected to GM foods on several grounds, including safety issues, ecological concerns, and economic concerns. However, genetically-modified foods are here to stay. Thats not to say that food produced by conventional
25、 agriculture will disappear, but simply that food-buying patterns will polarize (两极分化): there will be a right market for conventional food just as there is for organic food. It may even be that GM food will become the food of preference because consumers come to appreciate the health benefits of red
26、uced pesticide use.The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the worlds predicted population growth to ten or eleven billion. Its not just a question of more mouths to feed either. What is often forgotten is that a
27、ll these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture.“Genetic modification is analogous to nuclear power: nobody loves it, but climate change has made its adoption imperative,“ says economist Paul Collier of Oxford University. “Declining genetic modification
28、makes a complicated issue more complex. Genetic modification offers both faster crop adaptation and a biological, rather than chemical, approach to yield increases.“The world has 800 million hungry people. Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial
29、fertilizers: the green revolution. Now were on the edge of a new revolution: a genetic one.It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM foods. Its true that for the next ten years or so GM crops may be too expensive. But the lesson of personal computers
30、is applicable here once the technology has been developed for profitable crops, it will spread and become affordable for all. This doesnt mean, unfortunately, that famines will disappear, but severity and duration will be helped by an improved ability to produce and distribute food.31. The introduct

36、oviet society had a profound impact on womens lives. Soviet women under Stalin were also the first generation of women able to give birth in the safety of a hospital, with access to prenatal care (产检). Marxists had traditionally believed that both capitalism and the middle-class husbands exploited w
37、omen. The Russian Revolution of 1917 immediately proclaimed complete equality of rights for women. In the 1920s divorce and abortion were made easily available, and women were urged to work outside the home and liberate themselves sexually. After Stalin came to power, sexual and familial liberation
38、was played down, and the most lasting changes for women involved work and education.These changes were truly revolutionary. Young women were constantly told that they had to be equal to men, that they could and should do everything men could do. Peasant women in Russia had long experienced the equal
39、ity of backbreaking physical labor in the countryside, and they continued to enjoy that equality on collective farms. With the advent of the five-year-plans, millions of women also began to toil in factories and in heavy construction, building dams, roads and steel mills in summer heat and winter fr
40、ost. Most of the opportunities open to men through education were also open to women. Determined women pursued their studies and entered the ranks of the better-paid specialists in industry and science. Medicine practically became a womans profession. By 1950, 75 percent of doctors in the Soviet Uni
41、on were women.Thus Stalinist society gave women great opportunities but demanded great sacrifices as well. The vast majority of women simply had to work outside the home. Wages were so low that it was almost impossible for a family or couple to live only on the husbands earnings. Moreover, the full-
42、time working woman had a heavy burden of household tasks in her off hours, for most Soviet men in the 1930s still considered the home and the children the womans responsibility. Men continued to monopolize the best jobs. Finally, rapid change and economic hardship led to many broken families, creati
43、ng further physical, emotional, and mental strains for women. In any event, the often-neglected human resource of women was mobilized in Stalinist society.36.
