- 英译汉 Is organic food better for you than the standard fare in grocery stores? New study suggests shoppers pay more for no nutritional benefit. Phil Reay Smith has the results of one new study that might surprise you. The stores offer an array of fresh and delicious looking food, but shoppers who fund the ￡21 billion annual market in organic produces might find the Food Standard Agency's new study leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. The study appears clear enough. It claims there is little if any nutritional difference between organic and conventionally produced food and no evidence of any additional health benefit from eating it. The FSA say the findings are intended to help people make an informed choice but they also call into question the higher price of organic food. On the other hand, people in the organic food industry, like AI Overton, believe it's that lack of pesticides and better reputation of animal welfare that will keep customers coming.

参考答案 有机食品真的比杂货店里的一般食物更有益健康？一项新的研究显示消费者购买有机食品多花的费用中与营养无关的因素更多。
菲尔.雷伊.史密斯带来一项新研究报道，内容可能吓你一跳。店里只是陈列了大量成排的看起来新鲜美味的食品，但食品标准局的新研究可能会让每年花21亿英镑在有机产品市场的消费者很不是滋味。
这项研究的结果相当清楚明白。研究中指出有机食品与传统食品的营养成分几乎毫无差异，也没有证据显示吃有机食品会带来额外的健康效益。食品标准局指出，这项研究的目的是要让民众在知情的情况下做出选择，但同时也对有机食品较高昂的价格提出了质疑。
另一方面，像艾尔.欧威顿这样的有机食品产业从业者认为因为有机食品未使用杀虫剂，而且比较重视动物的福祉，所以消费者会持续上门。

- 10 【英译汉】 Almost invariably the better looking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed form Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good. In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females, can be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire（追求）to managerial positions do not get on as well as women who may be less attractive.

- Up until afew decades ago, our visions of the future were largely — though by no meansuniformly — glowingly positive. Science and technology would cure all the illsof humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all. Now Utopiahas grown unfashionable, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the rangeof threats facing us, from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climatechange. You might even be tempted to assume that humanity has little future tolook forward to. But such gloominess ismisplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have endured for millionsof years一 sowhy shouldn't we? Take a broader look at our species' place in the universe,and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens，if not hundreds，of thousands of years. According to the UN, there are nomajor threats resulting in an overall population decline.
