And he said that would pose a crisis for the rest of the wor

28、ld even if politicians tried to illegalize the practice. In an extract (摘錄) published by The Sunday Times, he wrote: “I am sure that during this century people will discover how to modify both intelligence and instincts such as aggression. “Laws will probably be passed against genetic engineering wi

But some people wont be able to resist the temptation to improve human characteristics, such as memory, resistance to disease and length of life.” And he said that would cause huge problems for humans who have not undergone the same process, leaving them unable to compete. The professor e

Instead, there will be a race of self-designing beings who are improving at an ever-increasing rate.” The Brief History of Time author also refers to

31、techniques like Crispr, which enables scientists to modify harmful genes and add in others. And although such procedures could be a boost for medical science, some critics are worried that they could cause a eugenics-style (優(yōu)生方式) movement, where the weak are weeded out of society.The new book, publi

Young Inspiration

For example, weve secured internships (實(shí)習(xí)）with world-famous firms such as Honda.”“At a time of funding cutbacks, schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring becaus

38、e of that. It is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. Kieran Hepbum, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In Octo

46、侵) species that has found a hospitable home in warm southern Florida. Deliberately introduced from South and Central America in the 1930s, they were supposed to control beetles damaging the sugarcane crop thats how they got the name “cane toads.”Cane toads can pose a particular danger because the ad

47、ult ones shoot toxin ( 毒 素 ) from their back when attacked. The tiny toads dont carry enough toxin to be deadly yet, but big adult ones can easily send a dog into a seizure ( 疾病發(fā)作) or even kill it. The toxin is “very viscous and would stick inside the dogs mouth,” says Steve Johnson, a wildlife ecol

48、ogist at the University of Florida. Owners should try to wipe out an affected dogs mouth and immediately take it to the vet.Tilford started Toad Busters in 2017. The woman who lived there had nine cats, which she fed by dumping almost a bag of cat food every night. Cane toads normally eat bugs, but

49、they are happy to eat pet food, too.Cane toads have adapted beautifully to the Florida suburbs, so a lot of Tilfords work also involves getting people to rethink their suburban backyard. No more cat food, for example. Pet poop (糞便) can also attract insects, which can in turn attract toads. As do lig

50、hts. And toads love to breed (繁殖) in attractive pools of water, such as the lake in the affected Palm Beach Garden neighborhood. For “these larger communities that want to build these beautiful ponds and want to have houses on ponds,” Tilford said, “this is almost a pest-control service.” The cane t

51、oads arent going away, but they can be managed like mosquitoes or rats.Dealing with toads amounts to an annoying thing in Florida, but they can also create more dramatic problems. In Australiawhere they were also deliberately introduced in the 1930s to protect sugarcanethey are a genuine scourge (災(zāi)禍

52、).The issue is that Australia has no native toad species, so none of the predators (食肉動(dòng)物) knew how to avoid the toxic toads. As the cane toads advanced east to west across the continent, “they left a wake of dead animals in their paths,” says Sean Doody, an ecologist at the University of South Flori

53、da at St. Petersburg who has studied cane toads in Australia. Turtles, lizards, and crocodiles just started dying out, which was good news for their prey (受害者). “If you were a small species that was previously being eaten, suddenly youre on a honeymoon,” says Rick Shine, a biologist at Macquarie Uni
