It was sunny and warm so Jane and I decide to go for a swim. When we got the beach, Tim, Paul and Mary were already here. We joined them and spent the afternoon swimming. The sea was as smooth as the mirror. I was pleased and Tim and Paul were a little disappointing as they like swimming in huge waves. When we got hungry, we bought hotdogs from a shop closely to the beach. After that, we had enough energies to play football on the sands. Paul and I won the game, in which surprised the others because we had three in their team. We really enjoyed the afternoon.

At one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse. 1. Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages, large enough to threaten the quality of care provided.
What has become of these women in white? 2. One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options. In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the workforce, but their options have greatly increased. 3.In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status. A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “merely a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. 4.
Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. 5. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal（致命的）diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.
A.The answer lies in not one but several causes.
B.Many students are actually away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”.
C.Today, however, many nurses have lost their jobs and led a poor life.
D.There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers.
E.Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I.
F.Women are treated unfairly when applying for jobs for quite a long time.
G.In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years.
A research was carried out by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. It comes after a Chinese scientist claimed in November to have created the world’s first gene-edited human babies. More than 1,000 people were questioned in the study. The researchers said Americans value the medical promise of technology that could change the genetic qualities human parents pass on to their children. But they worry whether it will be used in a moral way.
Gene editing takes out a part of DNA to remove, replace or repair a gene. Changes to adult cells only affect the person being treated. But editing genes in eggs, sperm or embryos (胚胎) can change the resulting child in ways that can be passed to future generations. Because of its important effects, international science guidelines say gene-editing should not yet be tested in human pregnancies. Scientists say more laboratory research is needed to prove whether or not it is safe.
The AP-NORC study suggests that 71 percent of Americans approve of using gene editing to prevent deadly diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease. The study found that 65 percent of Americans would approve of using gene editing to prevent conditions such as blindness. There also was support for using the technology to reduce the risk of diseases that might develop later in life, such as cancer.
However, 66 percent of Americans oppose using gene editing to change qualities such as intelligence or athletic ability. They also oppose changing physical qualities such as eye color or height, the study found.
Dr. Robert Klitzman studies biological research rules. He noted that, if fertility clinics start to edit the genes of embryos, there will be hard choices to make about what conditions can be changed.
What if scientists could identify genes involved with depression or autism or high body weight? Would they be acceptable to edit? “It’s one thing to look at the extremes of fatal diseases versus cosmetic things, but in the middle are going to be these very different issues,” Klitzman said.
1.What can be learned about editing genes in embryos?
A.It can only affect the embryos being treated.
B.It will be completely safe to the embryos.
C.The effect can be passed to future generations.
D.It can be done without any laboratory research.
2.What did Klitzman worry about?
A.It’s difficult to decide what to change when editing genes.
B.It’ s hard for scientist to identify genes.
C.Gene editing will be used to prevent fatal diseases.
D.Gene editing is not supported by the government.
3.What can we conclude about the result of the research?
A.71% of Americans agree to use gene editing to prevent blindness.
B.Gene editing is a promising technology that should be widely used.
C.Americans approve of gene editing only for health purposes.
D.Most Americans are indifferent to the new technology.
4.What does the underlined word “autism” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.A kind of disease. B.An unhealthy baby.
C.A disabled person. D.A mood of happiness.
