问答题但是，对于所有的正在进行的激动人心的工作而言，科学远没有达到一个能塑造完美的人的美好新世界的景象——或者甚至于说是塑造一个美好的番茄。在基因治疗普及之前，仍然需要做大量研究。如果许多疾病真的可以治疗的话，那将花上数十年的时间。 就短期而言，遗传筛选将是运用新技术的最可行的办法。在治疗各种DNA缺陷之前，医生能够检测到它们。在某些情况下，这些信息可以延缓疾病的发作或是减轻它的作用效果。例如，一个有着遗传性易患心脏病体质的人可以进行低脂肪的饮食。如果科学家测出由于制造一种重要蛋白质的基因存在缺陷，从而导致这种蛋白质丢失的话，也许科学家就可以给这位病人提供人工蛋白质。然而，在其他的情况下，对于阻止由于基因突变而导致的不幸几乎无能为力。

问答题The emergence of the European Union has been one of the defining events of the twentieth century. It has changed the political, economic, and social landscapes of Western European, changed the balance of power in the world by helping Europe reassert themselves on the world stage, and helped to bring the longest uninterrupted spell of peace in Europe recorded history. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, Europe was a continent of competing powers that repeatedly fought with each other on their own soil and took their mutual hostilities to other continents in their competition to build colonial empires. The tragic costs of nationalism were finally confirmed by two world wars, fought largely on Europe and leaving the Europe powers devastated and drained.

问答题Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March，the price of crude oil has jumped to almost$26 a barrel，up from less than$10 last December．This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock，when prices quadrupled，and 1979—1980，when they also almost tripled．Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline． The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports．Strengthening economic growth，at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere，could push the price higher still in the short term．

问答题When it comes to personal finance, we are all looking for ways to save more money. Our household budgets are filled with both big and small expenses that we imagine can be cut out to save us loads of cash or, at the very least, spent better elsewhere. One of the things you have surely considered is using public transportation rather than your own vehicle. It would be easy to assume that public transportation is cheaper, because bus fare is far less expensive than gas, but those are not the only costs to consider. Take a step back to your high school economics class and try to remember the lesson about opportunity costs. These, as you might recall if you were awake for that class, are the things you give up when you choose one option over other options. Although they are not measured in dollars and cents, they still have to be considered whenever you make a financial decision.

问答题No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science： exceptions can be found to any rule．Nevertheless，the word“amateur”does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and， in particular，may not fully share its values．The growth of specialization in the nineteenth century，with its consequent requirement of a longer，more complex training，implied greater problems for amateur participation in science．The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training，and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom．

问答题The global financial crisis is likely to cause increased mental health problems and even suicides as people struggle to cope with poverty and unemployment, the World Health Organization warned Thursday.
