单选题Consumers and producers obviously make decisions that mold the economy, but there is a third major 41 to consider the role of government. Government has a powerful 42 on the economy in at least four ways: Direct Services. The postal system, for example, is a federal system 43 the entire nation, as is the large and complex establishment. Conversely, the construction and 44 of most highways the 45 of the individual states, and the public educational systems, despite a large funding role by the federal government, are primarily 46 for by country or city governments. Police and fire protection and sanitation 47 are also the responsibilities of local government. Regulation and Control. The government regulates and controls private 48 in many ways, for the 49 of assuring that business serves the best 50 of the people as a whole. Regulation is necessary in areas where private enterprise is granted a 51 , such as in telephone or electric service. Public policy permits such companies to make a reasonable 52 , but limits their ability to raise prices 53 , since the public depends on their services. Often control is 54 to protect the public, as for example, when the Food and Drug Administration bans harmful drugs, or requires standards of 55 in food. In other industries, government sets guidelines to ensure fair competition without using direct control. Stabilization and Growth. Branches of government, including Congress and such entities as the Federal Reserve Board. attempt to control the extremes of boom and bust, of inflation and depression, by 56 tax rates, the money supply, and the use of credit. They can also 57 the economy through changes in the amount of public spending by the government itself. Direct Assistance. The government provides many kinds of help to 58 and individuals. For example, tariffs 59 certain products to remain relatively free of foreign competition; imports are sometimes taxed so that American products are able to 60 better with certain foreign goods.

单选题 The idea of test-tube babies may make you either delighted at the wonders of modem medicine or irritated while considering the moral, or legal, or technological implications-of starting life in a laboratory. But if you've ever been pregnant yourself, one thing is certain: You wonder what it's like to carry a test-tube baby. Are these pregnancies normal? Are the babies normal? The earliest answers come from Australia, where a group of medical experts at the Queen Victoria Medical Center in Melbourne have taken a look at the continent's first nine successful {{U}}invitro{{/U}} pregnancies. The Australians report that the pregnancies themselves seemed to have proceeded according to plan, but at birth some unusual trends did show up. Seven of the nine babies turned out to be girls. Six of the nine were delivered by Caesarean section. And one baby, a twin, was born with a serious heart defect and a few days later developed life-threatening problems. What does it all mean? Even the doctors don't know for sure, because the numbers are so small. The proportion of girls to boys is high, but until there are many more test-tube babies no one will know whether that's something that just happened to be like that or something special that happens when egg meets sperm in a test tube instead of a fallopian tube. The same thing is true of the single heart defect. It usually shows up in only 15 out of 60,000 births in that part of Australia, but the fact that it occurred in one out of nine test-tube babies does not necessarily mean that they are at special risk. One thing the doctors can explain is the high number of Caesareans. Most of the mothers were older, had long histories of fertility problems and in some cases had had surgery on the fallopian tubes, all of which made them likely candidates for Caesareans anyway. The Australian researchers report that they are quite encouraged. All the babies are now making normal progress, even the twin with the birth defects.
