单选题New figures from France，Germany and Italy—the three biggest economies in the 12 country Eurozone—suggest the continent’s economic woes may have been exaggerated．In France，evidence emerged that consumer spending remained solid in July and August，rising 1．4％and 0．6％respectively．Forecasters had generally expected the July figure to show a 0．1％slippage，with August unchanged．But the figures were flattered slightly by a down grade to the June figure，to 0．7％from1．5％． With manufacturing in the doldrums across Europe and the US，consumer spending has been increasingly seen as the best hope of stopping the global economic slowdown from turning into a recession．The French government said the news proved that the economy was holding up to the strain of the slowdown． Meanwhile in Germany，new regional price figures went someway towards calming fears about inflation in Europe’s largest economy--a key reason for the European Central Bank’s reluctance to cut interest 15 states said consumer prices were broadly stable，with inflation falling year on year．The information backed economists’expectations that inflation for the country as a whole is set to fall back to a yearly rate of 2．1％，compared to a yearly rate of 2．6％in August，closing in on the Euro-wide target of 2％．The drop is partly due to last year’s spike in oil prices dropping out of the year-on-year calculation． The icing on the cake was news that Italy’s job market has remained buoyant．The country’s July unemployment rate dropped to 9．4％from 9．6％the month before，?its lowest level in more than eight years．And a business confidence survey from quasi-governmental research group ISAE told of a general pick-up in demand in the six weeks to early September．But the news was tempered by an announcement by Alitalia，the country’s biggest airline，that it will have to get rid of 2500 staff to cope with the expected contraction as well as selling 12 aeroplanes．And industrial group Confindustria warned that the attacks on US targets meant growth will be about 1．9％this year，well short of the government’s 2．4％target．And it said the budget deficit will probably be about 1．5％，nearly twice the 0．8％Italy’s government has promised its European Union partners．

单选题 Major companies are already in pursuit of commercial applications of the new biology. They dream of placing enzymes in the automobile to monitor exhaust and send data on pollution to a microprocessor that will then adjust the engine. They speak of what the New York Times calls "metal-hungry microbes that might be used to mine valuable trace metal from ocean water". They have already demanded and won the right to patent new life forms. Nervous critics, including many scientists, worry that there is corporate, national, international, and inter-scientific rivalry in the entire biotechnological field. They create images not of oil spills, but of "microbe spills" that could spread disease and destroy entire populations. The creation and accidental release of extremely poisonous microbes, however, is only one cause for alarm. Completely rational and respectable scientists are talking about possibilities that stagger the imagination. Should we breed people with cow-with stomachs so they can digest grass and hay, thereby relieving the food problem by modifying us to eat lower down on the food chain? Should we biologically alter workers to fit the job requirement, for example, creating pilots with faster reaction times or assemblyline workers designed to do our monotonous work for us? Should we attempt to eliminate "inferior" people and breed a "super-race"? (Hitler tried this, but without the genetic weaponry that may soon issue from our laboratories. ) Should we produce soldiers to do our fighting? Should we use genetic forecasting to pre-eliminate "unfit" babies? Should we grow reserve organs for ourselves, each of us having, as it were, a "savings bank" full of spare kidney, livers, or hands? Wild as these notions may sound, every one has its advocates (and opposers) in the scientific community as well as its striking commercial application. As two critics of genetic engineering, Jeremy Rifkin and Ted Howard, state in their book Who Should Play God? , "Broad scale genetic engineering will probably be introduced to America much the same way as assembly lines automobiles, vaccines, computers and all the other technologies. As each new genetic advance becomes commercially practical, a new consumer need will be exploited and a market for the new technology will be created. "
