I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I di

30、dnt dare to ask God for too muchBut he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose !

36、is own panopticon of sorts The term panopticon was coined by Jeremy Bentham in the late eighteenth century when he was describing an idea for how prisons should be designedThe prisoners cells would be placed in a circle with a guard tower in the middleAll walls facing the center of the circle would

37、be glassIn that way, every prisoners cell would be in full view of the guardsThe prisoners could do nothing unobserved, but the prisoners would not be able to see the guard towerThey would know they were being watched - or rather, they would know that they could be being watchedbut because they coul

38、d not see the observer, they would never know when the guard was actually monitoring their actions Similarly, it is common that people behave differently when they know they are being watchedWe act differently when we know someone is looking; we act differently when we think someone else might be lo

39、okingIn these situations, we are less likely to be ourselves; instead, we will act the way we think we should act when we are being observed by others In our wired society, many talk of the panopticon as a metaphor （隐喻） for the futureBut in many ways, the panopticon is already hereMonitoring cameras

40、 are everywhere, and we often dont even know our actions are being recordedIn addition, we leave a record of everything we do onlineAnd most of us have no idea just how much information about us has been recorded and how much data is available to various sourcesWe can do little to stop the informati

42、that panopticon Ais not applicable outside the prison Bis used everywhere in public places Cis an effective tool to control prisoners Dis an effective tool to share information61Why does the author say that panopticon is already here? ABecause our privacy is completely transparentBBecause we are all

43、 prisoners m our own homesCBecause our actions are observed and recorded in many casesDBecause we are always afraid that someone might be watching us62A key difference between prison panopticon and panopticon in our daily life is that Aprisoners can see their observers, but we cant Bprisoners know t

44、hat they may be being watched, but we often dont Cprisoners are more protected in their panopticon than we are in ours Dprisoners are less observed about privacy issues than technology usersC I want to talk about the economyNot the economy we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politici

45、ans speechesI want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day Most people arent particularly interested in the economyShare prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring; the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 847235 We hear this and subconsciously switch off N

46、otice that the economy is not the same as the economy, The economy is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealthThe economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life We are supposed to be benefiting from

47、all the advantages of a well-off societySo why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our livesOur towns become more and more crowdedWe poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicalsTher

50、less money keeps circulating, the economy breaks downIf we dont keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actionsWe buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor

51、 parts of the worldWe create mountains of wasteWe demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behaviorOur main problem is not that we dont know what to do ab

52、out itIt is gathering the desire to do it63According to the author, which one belongs to the real economy?

58、ue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products Most Americans do not realize that they

59、 are, in fact, eating GE foods The public is also concerned about the unknown health risksWith limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effectsBecause most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they

60、 will cause reactions Moreover, due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them There is also a major moral question in many mindsFor many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessa

62、 foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing itWe already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods wil

63、l affect us, they are not worth the risk67According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in that Atraditional breeding changes the genes in the same speciesBtraditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesCtraditional breeding takes place within the s

64、ame speciesDtraditional breeding is more scientific68The lack of labeling in Paragraph 4 indicates Ainformation concerning gene sources is unavailable to customersBit is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesCscientists try to hide potential dangers from customersDthe US government

65、 is responsible for GE food69According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because Ait wont help solve the problem of hunger in the world Bthere are potential dangers in producing GE food Cwere now producing more food than before Dcustomers will benefit from GE food70What is the authors attitude
