Questions 1-5
As he hiked up a steep trail winding into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park a few days ago. Don Barger reached into his pack, pulled out his cellphone-and turned it off. "the last thing you want to hear as you're rounding a bend out here is a cellphone ring or some guy talking to his broker or ordering pizza." He says. "but that's what' happening in our national parks these days." At least 30 national parks now sport cellphone towers or other antennas, according to a newly released partial inventory by the National park service. This list, the first of its kind, is evidence that phone panied are targeting America's national parks for business.
The result, critics say, is a much-degraded visual experience when a tower sprouts on an otherwise pristine landscape-or a jarring aural annoyance when a cellphone rings deep in nature. In may, three cell towers proposed for a scenic road in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park caused a public outcry. "it is one of the worst ideas we he heard," wrote Sen. Lamar Alexander and Rep. John Duncan Jr., both Tennessee Republicans. Within weeks of their letter to Fran Mainella, director of the National Park Service, the wireless pany had dropped its plan.
Similarly, a new cellphone tower in full view of the famous geyser at Yellowstone National Park now raises the ire of some visitors. The park's "custodians he been unfaithful to old Faithful," according to Frank Buono, a former National Park Service manager and board member of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility （PEER）。 The treasured view has been handled "with all the care of a strip mall." The tower is an "inpatible structure" with a "very noticeable adverse effect," adds the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office. The public onslaught has caused the park service to revisit its decision. A Yellowstone spokesman says tower height and appearance are under review and a moratorium has been placed on permits for new cellphone towers until a management plan is developed. But the towers he e in handy, park personnel say.
"using cell service where we can allows better visitor safety services," says Al Nash, a park spokesman. While two-way radios work fine for park personnel, most emergency calls e from the public in developed areas of the park-and a growing number are by cellphone. "we've been surprised that all of a sudden it became a lightning rod." Adds Brian Goemmer, director of engineering and regulatory affairs for Western Wireless, the Bellevue, Wash., firm that owns the tower. It has served an important emergency function, especially for altitude-or heat-challenged visitors waiting to see Old Faithful blow off steam, he says.
Emergency use is an excuse, counters Mr. Barger, southeast regional director of the National Parks Conservation Association, a nonprofit advocacy group. While he does carry a cellphone, Barger says he can't and won't depend on the device. Instead, he always tells a relative his itinerary and return time before hiking alone.
The Telemunications Act of 1996 opened the way for cell towers on federal lands, pelling federal managers to consider them. Critics say there's no national policy that outlines when they may be rejected. But the National park Service points to an array of national policies that govern siting of such towers. Still, the final decision lies with inpidual park managers, says Lee Dickinson, park service manager for special park uses who oversees permitting for telemunications in 388 "park units," including the 58 that carry the "national park" designation.
The park service still doesn't know exactly how towers he sprouted in national parks. The number could easily grow since the park service's inventory is not yet plete, several observers say. Last week, PEER released documents showing that cell panies building towers in Yellowstone had supplied 70 phones and free minutes to park personnel. Also. It showed that $36.000 in annual lease fees for the towers was used to fund park-service salaries and other activities. This ine in an inducement for financially stretched park managers to permit cell towers, argues jeff Ruch, PEER executive director. But Yellowstone's Mr. Nash says it was a tiny fraction of a $28 million budget and unlikely to be an inducement.
1. When Don Barger says "The last thing you want to hear as you're rounding a bend out here is a cellphone ring or some guy talking to his broker or ordering pizza." Implies that _______.

（D） visitors should not be allowed to use cellphones in national parks

Questions 6-10
Scientists he discovered a way of manipulating a gene that turns nimals into drones incapable of being bored even when performing repetitive tasks. Experiments on rhesus monkeys he shown for the first time that animal behiour can be permanently altered, turning the subjects from aggressive to "pliant" creatures. The genes are identical in humans. Although the research is intended to advance the treatment of mental illness, it will raise images of the Epsilon caste created by Aldous Huxley to carry out menial jobs in his novel, Bre New World. It could also do away with the need for motivational coaching and perhaps one day provide a cure for those who dread returning to work on Mondays.
The experiments-detailed in the journal Nature Neuroscience-involved blocking the effect of a gene in the brain called D2, which cut the link between the monkeys' motivation and perceived reward. Instead of speeding up with the approach of a deadline or the prospect of a "treat". The monkeys could still work enthusiastically for long periods. "most people are motivated to work hard and well only by the expectation of reward, whether it's a pay cheque or word of praise". Said Barry Richmond, a neuro-biologist at America's National Institute of Mental Health, who led the project. "We could remove that link and create a situation where repetitive hard work would continue without any reward."
The experiments involved getting monkeys to operate levers in response to colour changers on screens in front of them. Normally they wok hardest and fastest with the fewest mistakes if they think a reward for the "work" is imminent. But Richmond's team found they could make the monkeys work their hardest and fastest all the time, without any plaint or sign of slacking, just by manipulating D2 so that they fot about expectation of reward. "we make decisions all the time bases on how valuable we think a reward is and how much time we think it is going to take to get it," said Richmond. "In depression, people think no reward is worthwhile and al work is too burdensome. In obsessive pulsive disorder, people work and are never satisfied by what they he done. If we can find the disturbance in the brain circuitry related to emotions and reward, we might be able to relieve the symptoms."
He said the technicalities of permanently altering human behiour by gene manipulation are currently too plex and humans who underwent this treatment to bee live manifestations of Huxley's Epsilons would not function well. "they would be indiscriminate and not be able to appreciate that their efforts were wasted if there was a problem further along a production line," Richmond said. "it would be more to the point for us to motivate people suing normal motivating factors." However, he and other scientists acknowledge that methods of manipulating human physical and psychological traits are just around the corner and the technology will emerge first as a lucrative add-on ailable from IVF clinics. "There's no doubt we will be able to influence behior," said Julian Sulescu, a professor of ethics at Oxford University. He said: "Geically manipulating people to bee sles is not in their interests, but other changes might be. We he to make choices about what makes a good life for an inpidual."
Richmond's findings were discussed at a Royal Society meeting anized by Bob Edwards, the scientist whose work led to the creation of Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby. In a presentation entitled Designing Babies: What the Future Holds, Yuri Verlinsky, a scientist from the University of Chicago who is at the forefront of embryo manipulation, said: "as infertility customers are investing so much time, money and effort into hing a baby, shouldn't they he a healthy one and what is to stop them picking a baby for its physical and psychological traits？" the advent of the technology is considered so serious in America that a meeting to discuss setting up a legal framework for"germline" geic manipulation is being held in Washington DC in December.
