29、k it will have a tendency to make war impossible.” Earlier in 1904, American journalist John Walker declared, “As a peace machine, the value of the aeroplane to the world will be beyond computation.” This wasnt the first grand promise of technology.

39、ance in addition to using drugs.”However, it has not always been against the law. In the Olympics in 1904, Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drugs in the middle of the race.

41、y to become common practice for athletes.”Researchers are looking at the possibility of identifying “athletic” genes and correcting weak ones.

42、ssible to identify “athletic” genes in young people, and then money could be spent on children who have the most promising genes.“People are beginning to recognize that genetics can in many ways do good to our society, for example in saving lives and in creating better quality food for people.” Dr F
