听力原文:M: I've just been reading this amazing article about genetic engineering. The things they can do now.
W: I know. It's frightening, isn't it?
M: No, not a bit. I mean if we can produce fruit that doesn't rot, animals that eat less and produce more, what's so scary about that? W: OK. But you know those new microorganisms that they are producing. Well,you only need a laboratory accident and the effects would be far more disastrous than AIDS, for instance.
M: Why are you always so negative? )Soon I'll be able have a genetic screening done and they'll be able to tell me what diseases I'm likely to have.
W: OK. But what if they tell you you're going to have a disease for which there's currently no known cure?
M: If I know it's hereditary then I might think twice before having any children.
W: They can take a piece of someone's hair now and tell you all about that person's medical life. Now that could be an incredible invasion of someone's privacy.
M: How do you mean?
W: Look. So at your job interview they ask you for a piece of hair, ring you up ten days later or whatever and tell you they don't want to employ you because you've got such and such a disease and you might die in five years.
M: Don't be absurd.
W: I'm not being absurd.
M: Do you think people would let them get away with that, huh? What is all this? It sounds like you've been reading 1984. Why don't you look you on the practical side of things for a change?
What are the man and the woman talking about?
A.Genetic engineering.
B.Genetic screening.
C.Genetic food.
D.Eugenics.
As it turns out, the choices you make now can make a big difference in how you feel later in life. I recently learned this lesson the hard way.
It started with an injury: a cracked shinbone caused by too much running on hard pavement. My doctor suggested a bone scan, which showed that my bones axe weaker than average. I don't have osteoporosis, a disease that causes older people to shrink in height and break bones easily. But I'm close.
For me, the diagnosis was a scary wakeup call. I'm just 27 years old, but already I'm worried about things that normally happen only to women more than twice my age. Will I break my hip if I slip on a patch of ice? Is it sale for me to go skiing, lift heavy boxes, play Ultimate Frisbee?
Perhaps what upsets me most is the realization that I might have avoided all of this if only I had thought ahead earlier in life. Childhood and adolescence are the most important times to build strong bones. For you, there's still time. Doctors suggest a variety of foods you can eat and exercises you can do as a teenager to build strong bones for life.
Getting the right kind of bone-building nutrition and exercise as a teenager is like putting money in the hank. Your bones can stay strong, as you get older.
Unfortunately, many teenagers don't think about their bones when they order lunch or decide what to do with their free time. They'd rather snack on chips or slurp soda than think about vitamins.
And parents don't always set the best example. "I was standing by the elevator at Children's Hospital," says Susan Coupey, an adolescent medical specialist at Children's Hospital at Montefiore in Bronx, New York. "There was a 2-year-old child being fed soda by his parents."
