     Today there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. This means we
need more food.
     One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made
plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983,
scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material (遗传物质). Foods
from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods (转基因食品), or GM foods.
     By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are
strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared (准备), for
example, which stops people from becoming blind.
     Rich countries produce GM food because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries
are interested in them because they help produce more food.
     GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way
of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed
people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use,
and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.
1. GM foods are made by _____.
A. farmers
B. workers
C. scientists
D. plants
2. What are the good things about GM foods?
A. They make plants strong against diseases.
B. They are unnatural.
C. They can help in human diseases.
D. Both A and C.
3. GM foods _____.
A. are a quick way to produce food
B. grow in the wild
C. are safe
D. are grown only in rich countries
4. Why do some people not like GM foods?
A. They are not useful.
B. They are not helpful.
C. They are not natural.
D. They are not cheap.
5. From the reading we know that _____.
A. GM foods will disappear one day in the future
B. GM foods will not disappear in the future
C. people will not be interested in GM food
D. people will have to stop using GM food

     Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers
are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs, teachers find students" posture
(姿势) and attention improve.
     Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December
2008. "The students love them", she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the
students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
     The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company
encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use
them. "Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan," says
Witt. "Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch (低头垂肩地坐)
on a ball," says Witt, "but it feels awful." Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That
carries more oxygen (氧气 to the brain (大脑), so the kids have more energy and can focus longer.
     "Furthermore, they"re fun." says Pownali.
