Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F

for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. DFCEB

The great impact and progress in genetic engineering

Worries about privacy protection

Worries about medical use of genetic engineering

Genetic knowledge helps to predict diseases

Genetic knowledge may not be properly used

The application of genetic engineering in the medical fields

1.

Current research

into the human gene system

is

helping us understand why people have

predispositions (

易患某病倾向

) to certain diseases. Knowing our genetic makeup can

help us to judge whether or not we may be stricken by particular illness, such as

cancer. Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what

a

child’s

genetic

disorder

will

be.

Scientists

have

already

isolated

and

identified

the genes responsible for the more than 4, 000 genetic diseases that affect human

beings.

2.

The implications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting

genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments

or cures for serious disease. Millions of people already use genetically engineered

drugs

to

treat

heart

disease,

cancer,

AIDS,

and

strokes

(

中风

).

But

with

the

research

that is now being conducted, we may find cures to many more diseases. In the near

future,

genetic

experimentation

will

also

allow

parents

to

select

the

traits

of

their

children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be

able to be controlled, and many parents are excited about this potential.

3.

Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research

allows. For example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing

for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against.

Another problem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness. What if

they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will

such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die

of?

4.

Many people believe that history has not always shown human decision-making to be

bright when it comes to

ethical (

道德的

)

choices. Jeremy Rifkin is

probably

the

most

well

known

opponent

of

genetic

engineering.

He

believes

that

humans

are

not

responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not “play God”. He asks,

“Just

because

it

can

be

done,

does

that

mean

it

should

be

done?”

He

points

out

that

our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of

their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society.

5.

One

of

the

fears

expressed

about

genetic

experimentation

involves

privacy.

Already blood sample taken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic

research

without

the

patient’s

permission.

Most

people

would

agree

that

one’s

health

and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to

this

information, it could have a large

impact

on hiring

or

promotion decisions.

The

possibilities for discrimination are obvious.
