Script:        Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience, as we adjust to our changing environment. As a positive influence, stress can help us take action. As a negative influence, it can lead to health problems such as headache, insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure and heart disease.              Our goal is not to eliminate stress but to learn how to manage it and how to use it to help us. Insufficient stress may make us feel bored; on the other hand, excessive stress may make us feel tied up in knots. What we need to do is to find the optimal level of stress which will motivate but not overwhelm us.                      There is no single level of stress that is optimal for all people.

  Section A         
    I’m not making anywhere near as much money as I did when I was employed full time, but now we don’t need as much either. I  21    enough income to handle our $600-a-month mortgage payments plus the usual expenses for a family like ours. That includes everything from music lessons and dental bills to car repairs and college costs. When it comes to insurance, we have a poor man’s major-medical policy. We have to pay the first $500 of any medical fees for each member of the family. It  22    80% of the costs beyond that. Although we are stuck with paying minor expenses, our premium is low — only $560 a year — and we are  23    against catastrophe.  24    that and the policy on our two cars at $400 a year, we have no other insurance. But we are setting aside $2,000 a year in an IRA.         
    We’ve been able to make up the difference in income by  25    without appreciably lowering our standard of living. We continue to dine out once or twice a month, but now we patronize local restaurants  26    more expensive places in the city. We still attend the opera and ballet in Milwaukee but only a few times a year. We eat less meat, drink cheaper wine and see fewer movies.  27    Christmases are a memory, and we combine vacations with story assignments „              I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a  28    for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don’t entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are  29    in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.              The other requirement is energy — a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the  30    to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.

Section B     
  Passage One     
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.       
      Genetically modified foods (or GM foods) are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. Typically, genetically modified foods are transgenic plant products: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Animal products have also been developed, although as of July 2010 none are currently on the market.              Critics have objected to GM foods on several grounds, including safety issues, ecological concerns, and economic concerns. However, genetically-modified foods are here to stay. That’s not to say that food produced by conventional agriculture will disappear, but simply that food-buying patterns will polarize
(两极分化): there will be a right market for conventional food just as there is for organic food. It may even be that GM food will become the food of preference because consumers come to appreciate the health benefits of reduced pesticide use.              The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world’s predicted population growth to ten or eleven billion. It’s not just a question of more mouths to feed either. What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture.              "Genetic modification is analogous to nuclear power: nobody loves it, but climate change has made its adoption imperative," says economist Paul Collier of Oxford University. "Declining genetic modification makes a complicated issue more complex. Genetic modification offers both faster crop adaptation and a biological, rather than chemical, approach to yield increases."              The world has 800 million hungry people. Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution. Now we’re on the edge of a new revolution: a genetic one.              It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM food
s. It’s true that for the next ten years or so GM crops may be too expensive. But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here — once the technology has been developed for profitable crops, it will spread and become affordable for all. This doesn’t mean, unfortunately, that famines will disappear, but severity and duration will be helped by an improved ability to produce and distribute food.
