阅读理解:阅读下面的短文,根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
PPHC and Gooseneck are two organizations that do similar community work. Each has hired a new staff member to make contact with and provide services to new parents.
Elainehas accepted a job with PPHC. She has a degree in psychology but has never done this type of work before. On her first day, after showing her to her desk and introducing her tocolleagues, the director gives her a town map and a list of the names of the families she will be responsible for, and wishes her luck. After lunch, Elaine sets out to contact the families, worried about what she’ll do or say when she meets them.
Mark has a degree similar to Elaine’s, and has just been hired by Gooseneck. On his first day, he learns thathis job will consist of training for the next week. Mark spends two days going on family visits with experienced staff members, and discusses with them what they did and why. He role-plays some situations with other staff members, and gets some direct instruction from them. By the following week, when he’s on his own, he feels he has a pretty good idea of what he needs to do, and how to go about it. And he knows that his training will continue.

The New Zealand Life Sciences Network,an association of pro-GM scientists and organisations,says the view expressed by Elaine Ingham,a soil biologist at Oregon State University in Corvallis,was exaggerated and irresponsible. It has asked her university to discipline her.
But Ingham stands by her comments and says the complaints are an attempt to silence her. “They’re trying to cause trouble with my university and get me fired,”Ingham told New Scientist.
The controversy began on 1 February,when Ingham testified before New Zealand’s Royal Commission on Genetic Modification,which will determine how to regulate GM organisms. Ingham claimed that a GM version of a common soil bacterium could spread and destroy plants if released into the wild. Other researchers had previously modified the bacterium to produce alcohol from organic waste. But Ingham says that when she put it in soil with wheat plants,all of the plants died within a week.
“We would lose terrestrial (生的)plants...this is an organism that is potentially deadly to the continued survival of human beings,”she told the commission. She added that the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA.canceled its approval for field tests using the organism once she had told them about her research in 1999.
But last week the New Zealand Life Sciences Network accused Ingham of “presenting inaccurate,careless and exaggerated information”and “generating speculative doomsday scenarios (世界末日的局面)that are not scientifically supportable”. They say that her study doesn’t even show that the bacteria would survive in the wild,much less kill massive numbers of plants. What’s more,the network says that contrary to Ingham’s claims,the EPA was never asked to consider the organism for field trials.
The EPA has not commented on the dispute. But an e-mail to the network from Janet Anderson,director of the EPA’s bio-pesticides (生物杀虫剂)division,says “there is no record of a review and/or clearance to field test”the organism.
Ingham says EPA officials had told her that the organism was approved for field tests,but says she has few details. It’s also not clear whether the organism,first engineered by a German institute for biotechnology,is still in use.
Whether Ingham is right or wrong,her supporters say opponents are trying unfairly to silence her.
“I think her concerns should be taken seriously. She shouldn’t be harassed in this way,”says Ann Clarke,a plant biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who also testified before the commission. “It’s an attempt to silence the opposition.”
