For thousands of years，mankind has bred plants and animals to create more desired and useful plants and animals. For instance, modem corn has been bred to such a large size that it is no longer able to reproduce without man's assistance. Modem dairy cows produce too much milk;because if they are not often drained of milk,they could leak,burst, become infected, and possibly die. Furthermore, most domesticated dogs cannot survive in the wild even with special training. Since natural evolution is extremely slow and mankind's selective breeding pro?grams only take a few generations to produce a completely new species，natural evolution has al?ready taken a backseat to mankind's breeding programs.
Additionally，mankind has successfully killed off several species all together. For instance， there are no more European wolves in existence and mammoths probably become extinct because of mankind. Even certain diseases have been permanently eradicated(根除) from the planet, and dozens of other diseases will soon be too. Again, natural evolution did not cause most of the ex?tinctions during humanity's reign.
Currently, scientists are creating new species with desired characteristics in the lab signifi?cantly faster than natural evolution creates new species. In a single generation, new species can be artificially created and destroyed，while natural evolution could take thousands of years to do the same but only haphazardly(4禺然地) .Scientists are even able to replace flawed(有缺陷的) or damaged genes with different genes to attempt to cure genetic defects. This is something that natural evolution could possibly never correct.
Eventually scientists will be able to enhance even people. For example, imagine not only correcting your eyesight with gene therapy，but also ensuring that all of your descendants do not inherit your old genes of poor eyesight too. Scientists will one day be able to enhance the mem?ory and intelligence of your children，so that they will do better in school and achieve more in life. Doctors and scientists will be able to customize babies before they are born just like picking options at a car dealership.
In the near future，natural evolution in the genetic code of any species can be quickly fixed if desired. As a result, natural evolution is doomed.

For a writer, there is hardly any greater honour than winning the Nobel Prize for literature.
And for a woman writer，claiming the prize is even harder，for only eight women have won it since the prize was first awarded in 1901. Austria's Elfriede Jelinek is the ninth and the first since 1996.
The Stockholm-based Swedish Academy announced last Thursday that Jelinek won this year's Nobel Prize in literature. She is recognised for her socially critical novels and plays.
Jelinek, 57，made her literary debut(首次演出) in 1967. She has written plays, novels and poetry. She is best known for her autobiographical 1983 novel "The Piano Teacher"，made into a movie in 2001.
The basic theme of her work is the inability of women to live as people beyond the roles and personalities traditionally expected of them. Her characters struggle to lead lives not normal?ly acceptable in society. "The nature of Jelinek's texts is often hard to define. They shift be?tween prose and poetry and songs，they contain theatrical scenes and film script，" said the acad?emy.
The Nobel Prize was founded by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Nobel died in 1896 and left his fortune of about US $ 920 million to a fund to honour people who have helped other hu?man beings. This year each prize is worth US $ 1. 3 million.

Gossip moves so quickly that few people have time to cover their ears，even if they want
to. "I hate it when others gossip about me," said Mandy Miraglia, 16, a high school student from California， " but to be honest，gossip with my close friends make me feel I am trusted and belong to the group. " Miraglia is not the only person who feels like that.
Gossip has long been looked down on as little more than nonsense(废话) and bad manners. But recent research showed that gossip has many positive effects on your social life.
"There has been a trend among people to dislike gossip”，said David Sloan Wilson，a pro?fessor from the State University of New York in Binghamton，US,"but gossip appears to be a very important form(形式) of behavior in a group of friends, defining their group membership.”
For 18 months，Kevin Kniffin，from the University of Wisconsin，US，researched the be?havior of 50 people. He found that gossip levels peaked when a sports team included a slacker (懒虫) ，someone who regularly missed practices or showed up late. Other members of the team would soon start to joke about the slacker's shortcomings behind his back,because they think they are bad for the whole team.
Gossip about the mistakes of senior members helps newcomers rebuild their confidence after a failure. It also helps relieve(释放) social and professional anxiety. Long-term studies show that people around the world devote from a fifth to two-thirds or more of their daily conversation to gossip, and men appear to be just as eager for gossip as women.
It is hard to judge gossip, but it is more powerful than you think.
( ) 5. It can be inferred from the research by Kevin Kniffin that .
A.gossip sometimes sends away the slacker of a team
B.gossip is no use to the teamwork at all

( ) 6. It is true about Mandy Miraglia that .
A.she hates gossip all the time
B.she enjoy gossips about others

B.He thinks highly of making a gossip.
