Do you hate your job? As far as I know, many young people liked complaining about their jobs. When my uncle started working about five years ago, he couldn’t stop complain about his work every time he got back from work. He considered his work simple and bored as he just needed to type works by famous writers. Therefore, as time went by, he found his work real helpful. When he was typing the works, he also read it. He learned lot from the works by famous writers and about two years later, his writing was greatly improved. He had his first books published last year and now he’s working for his second book.

When trying to learn some skills of doing homework, you need help from parents or other grown-ups. 1. Someday, you’ll be older and you’ll need to do things without their help.

The health problems about cloned animals , particularly those who appear healthy but have hidden illnesses or problems that appear unexpectedly later in life, have the potential to cause real risks to the safety of the food products from those animals. Ian Wilmut, a lead scientist involved in the creation of Dolly, the first cloned animal, has warned that even small imbalances in a clone’s hormone, protein, or fat levels could bring its milk or meat into danger.
As part of its risk assessment on animal cloning, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that milk and meat from cloned animals and their offspring (后代)are as safe to eat as products from conventional animals. The FDA further announced that it would not require food products from cloned animals or their offspring to be labeled as such.
Consumer watchdog groups pointed out that the FDA’s analysis was based on limited data supplied mainly from the cloning companies themselves. In addition, while food safety is an obvious concern of consumers, it is not the only issue that makes people uncomfortable with animal cloning. For example, surveys indicate that 63 percent of consumers would not buy food from cloned animals even if it were labeled as “safe”. Concerns about the morality of cloning, as well as concerns for animal welfare, lead a big majority of people to oppose cloning animals for 
food. However, these issues were not considered by the FDA. Without labels to identify cloned foods, consumers who oppose animal cloning would be forced to make purchases against their p
rinciples without knowing. Consumers have a right to know how their food is produced so they can make informed decisions about what they buy and what they feed their families.
1.What is Ian Wilmut’s attitude towards food products from cloned animals?
A. Approving. B. Cautious.
C. Uncertain. D. Indifferent.
2.What does the underlined word “such” in Paragraph 2 refer to ?
A. Safe. B. Expensive
C. Unsafe D. Conventional.
3.We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A. consumers didn’t believe what the FDA said
B. the FDA took consumers’ concerns seriously
C. consumers were well-informed about the safety of food
D. the FDA forced consumers to buy things they didn’t want
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A. Concerns for animal welfare.
B. The problems with animal cloning.
C. Why people are uncomfortable with animal cloning.
D. Concerns about the food products from cloned animals.
As the weather cools across the United States, a growing number of Americans visit farms. They harvest apples, enjoy hay wagon rides and walk in the fields. These people are called agri-tourists.

On Mike Dunn’s farm, school children are laughing and playing. They come to have a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be on a farm. In a corn field maze, the corn is cut into tricky passageways that make it hard to find a way out. Their teacher says they come around once a year.
When Mike Dunn opened the family farm to agri-touists, he had only a corn maze, a pumpkin field and hay wagon rides. The number of visitors to his farm doubles every year and there are 250 people at weekends on average. He says so many people visited that he soon increased the number of activities in which people can take part. The agri-tourism earnings might be 30 percent of the entire farm income. He hopes he will make a larger profit form visitors than from farming someday.
