When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars .
His face lighted up as he took them.He had wished for a long time to buy some petty books that he had seen at the bookstore.

“I wish you a happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was happily passing on.The man shook his head.

The European Union had approved a number of genetically
modified crops until 1998. But growing public concern over its S1.______
supposed environmental and health risks led several EU countries
to demand a moratorium(暂时禁止) on imports of any new GM
produce. By lately 1999 there were enough such countries to block S2.______
any new approvals of GM produce.
Last year, America filed a complaint at the WTO about the
moratorium, arguing that it was an illegal trade barrier because
there is scientific basis for it. As more studies have been completed S3.______
on the effects of GM crops, the green's case against them has S4.______
weakened.
Much evidence has emerged of health risks from eating them. S5.______
And, overall, the studies have shown that the environmental
effects of modifying crops are not always as serious as the greens S6.______
claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists continue to find fault with
such studies and argue which they are inconclusive. S7.______
While Americans seem happy enough to consume food made
from GM crops, opinion polls continue to show that European
consumers dislike the idea. Europeans seem to be taken the attitude S8.______
which, since there remains the slightest possibility of adverse
consequences and since it was still unclear how they, as consumers S9.______
benefit of GM crops, they would rather not run the risk. S10.______

听力原文: The estimated one-fifth of children in London's schools who cannot read simple sentences by the age of eight should be given special help. This is the main conclusion of an independent report on London's 700 primary schools. The report, which is the result of a year's work, tells London's primary schools that they must demand more of their children.
Most parents were happy with the schools, but some said that their children's pace of learning might be too slow. The report confirmed this by stating that much of the new work must have been taught at the same level of difficulty as the old.
The report emphasized that children should not be tortured but more should have been expected of them in schools. This would mean that some children might have achieved much more than the limited demands made on them by comprehension exercises or copying out from textbooks.
Mrs. Morrel, who commissioned the report, said that all London's schools must put into effect a framework of reform. Every child ought to be able to read by the age of eight.
Other reforms mentioned in the report were that parents should be better represented on school governing committees and that each school ought to draw up a development plan, listing what improvements it can make. Parents should also be represented on the education committee.
