Advantages of Genetically Modified Foods
●One of the most prominent advantages of genetically modified food is that it helps in controlling the occurrence of certain diseasesCertain foods cause allergy to peopleTheir genetic modification alters the DNA system of these foodsthereby making them nonallergic
●Another major advantage of such type of foods is that they grow faster than their traditionally grown counterpartsAs a resultthere is greater productivity and more food
●A person need not bother about any additional costssuch as buying chemicals and pesticideswhen it comes to genetically engineered foodThe food is naturally pestresistant
●Farming these foods can be a great way to fight world hungerSince these crops grow faster or more effectivelyincreased production would help countries wherein crops may not normally prosper because of less than desirable environmental conditions
●The increased shelf life of these food products helps in reducing the quantity of rotten food
Disadvantages of Genetically Modified Foods
●The biggest disadvantage of genetically modified food is that they have harmful effects on the human bodyThe consumption of these genetically engineered foods can lead to development of diseases that are immune to antibiotics
●Chances of developing cancer are high in people who regularly consume engineered food
●Since it is an unnatural way of producing foodsthere is an increased health hazard such as allergenstransfer of antibiotic resistance markers and unknown effects
●Since the production of engineered food involves infusing animal genes in the crops and tampering with natureit might not be good for consumption in the long run

When computer servers operate a complex programthey can get very hotCooling the servers can be costlySo researchers asked what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be captured and used
Data centers of large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computer serversAs these servers process informationthey create large
amounts of heatso they need huge cooling systemsThese systems send the heat into the air
The Dutch company Nerdalize thinks paying for electrieity to operate the servers and then paying again to cool them is a waste of energySo it developed a device called the eRadiatorIt is a computer server that also works as a heating sourceBoaz Leupe is the chief executive officer of NerdalizeHe says the eRadiator saves money because companies don’t have to pay to cool their servers
The kilowatt(千瓦) hour you are using is used twiceonce to heat the home and once to compute the client’s task without the cooling overheadHe says five homeowners in the Netherlands are testing the heating device in their homesWe reimburse the electricity the server usesand that we can do because of the computer clients on the other sideandin that wayhomeowners actually get heating for freeand computer users don’t have to pay for the overhead of the data center
Jan Visser is one of the participants in the yearlong experimentHe says the amount of heat produced by the eRadiator into room depends on the work being done by the computer serverHe says it can not be used as the primary source of heatBut he is ready to try it
He says if it provides enough warmthhe will be able to use his home’s heating system lesswhich will save him moneyNerdalize says eRadiators create heat temperatures of up to 55℃It says the devices could save users up to 440 in heating costs a year
[选择题]
◆Why did researchers ask what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be captured and used
ABecause computers can get very hot

CCooling computer servers costs a lot of money
[答案]C
◆The computer servers in large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft can_________
Acreate large amounts of information
Bcreate large quantity of heat
Cmanage the huge cooling systems
[答案]B
◆Nerdalize developed the eRadiator because_________
AeRadiator cost less energy
BeRadiator can cool the servers for free
CeRadiator can create cold air for free
[答案]B
◆According to Jan Visserthe amount of heat produced by the eRadiator_________
Adepends on the work being processed by PC
Bcan not be used as the home’s heating system
Ccan not be used as the main source of heat
[答案]C
◆The best title for this passage would be_________
AThe New Way to Heat Homes

There are three kinds of goals shorttermmediumrange and longterm goalsShortterm goals are those that usually deal with current activitieswhich we can apply on a daily basisSuch goals can be achieved in a week or lessor two weeksor possibly monthsIt should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundationour longterm goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid shortterm goalsUpon completing our shortterm goalswe should date the occasion and then add new shortterm goals that will build on those that have been completed
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the shortterm goalsThey might deal with just one term of school or the entire school yearor they could even extend for several yearsAny time you move a step at a timeyou should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmedAs you complete each stepyou will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeedAnd as your list of completion dates growsyour motivation and desire will increase

When computer servers operate a complex programthey can get very hotCooling the servers can be costlySo researchers asked what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be captured and used
Data centers of large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computer serversAs these servers process informationthey create large
amounts of heatso they need huge cooling systemsThese systems send the heat into the air
The Dutch company Nerdalize thinks paying for electrieity to operate the servers and then paying again to cool them is a waste of energySo it developed a device called the eRadiatorIt is a computer server that also works as a heating sourceBoaz Leupe is the chief executive officer of NerdalizeHe says the eRadiator saves money because companies don’t have to pay to cool their servers
The kilowatt(千瓦) hour you are using is used twiceonce to heat the home and once to compute the client’s task without the cooling overheadHe says five homeowners in the Netherlands are testing the heating device in their homesWe reimburse the electricity the server usesand that we can do because of the computer clients on the other sideandin that wayhomeowners actually get heating for freeand computer users don’t have to pay for the overhead of the data center
Jan Visser is one of the participants in the yearlong experimentHe says the amount of heat produced by the eRadiator into room depends on the work being done by the computer serverHe says it can not be used as the primary source of heatBut he is ready to try it
He says if it provides enough warmthhe will be able to use his home’s heating system lesswhich will save him moneyNerdalize says eRadiators create heat temperatures of up to 55℃It says the devices could save users up to 440 in heating costs a year
