The produce departments of the future may look like nothing on
earth, and with good reason. Chinese scientists have been growing tomatoes the
size of softballs, cucumbers as long as baseball bats and other outsize fruits
and vegetables, using seeds that have been shot into space. The seeds are then
exposed to seven types of extraterrestrial conditions, from zero gravity and
cosmic radiation to subatomic particles. (46) {{U}}As these space veggies grow
back on earth, they are selected for desirable traits--bulk, appearance or
certain nutrients--then bred through successive generations to ensure that the
mutations are consistent.{{/U}} Chinese scientists don't
understand exactly how a trip into space alters the seeds' DNA and yields such
effects, but it's not just size that changes. (47) {{U}}Tong Yichao, whose firm,
the Beijing Flying Eagle Green Foods Group, has been sending seeds and seedlings
aboard Chinese spacecraft since 1999, says it has grown space tomatoes with 27
percent more of the antioxidant beta carotene than ordinary ones, and
six-foot-tall cotton plants that produce longer, more flexible threads{{/U}}.
Using conventional methods, "a scientist might create just three new plants in
his lifetime," says Tong. "We've developed more than 50 since 1999."
(48) {{U}}A dozen or so Chinese firms are paying up to $ 45 000 a gram to
place various flora aboard satellites and manned spacecraft.{{/U}} The long-term
goal: to feed more people and help endangered species escape extinction. To
date, nearly 3 000 botanical species-including garden vegetables, medicinal
herbs and flowers--have been sent into orbit and brought back to
earth. (49) {{U}}The commercial promise of China's space veggies
has yet to, er, bear fruit.{{/U}} It' s legal to sell the cosmic produce, and
commercial farms have purchased some space plants. But most are being developed
in labs or experimental greenhouses because no one wants to go to market before
the safety and quality of the produce have been established. Even so, the idea
of space flora is proving irresistible to a novelty-loving Chinese public. (50)
{{U}}When Tong displayed a handful of monster space eggplants--the largest of
which weighed more than four pounds--at an expo, one disappeared before the show
opened{{/U}}. Hot stuff, for sure.
问答题Our daily existence is divided into two phases, as distinct as day and night. We call them work and play. We work many hours a day and we allow the necessary minimum for such activities as eating and shopping. 46) The rest we spend in various activities which are known as recreations, an elegant word which disguises the fact that we usually do not even play in our hours of leisure, but spend them in various forms of passive enjoyment or entertainment. We need to make, therefore, a hard-and-fast distinction not only between work and play but, equally, between active play and passive entertainment. 47) It is, I suppose, the decline of active play--of amateur sport--and the enormous growth of purely receptive entertainment which have given rise to a sociological interest in the problem. If the greater part of the population, instead of indulging in sport, spend their hours of leisure "viewing" television programs, there will inevitably be a decline in health and physique. In addition, we have yet to trace the mental and moral consequences of prolonged diet of sentimental or sensational spectacles on the screen. 48) There is, if we are optimistic, the possibility that the diet is too thin and unnourishing to have much permanent effect on anybody. Nine films out of ten seem to leave absolutely no impression on the mind or imagination of those who have seen them. 49) It is only when entertainment is active, participated in, practiced, that it can properly be called play, and as such it is a natural use of leisure. In that sense play stands in contrast to work, and is usually regarded as an activity that alternates with work. Work itself is not a single concept. We say quite generally that we work in order to make a living. Some of us work physically, tilling the land, minding the machines, digging the coal; others work mentally, keeping accounts, inventing machines, teaching and preaching, managing and governing. 50) There does not seem to be any factor common to all these diverse occupations, except that they consume our time, and leave us little leisure.
