A

MARIJUANA RESEARCH GETS SERIOUS

Eight states voted to legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use in 2016, putting the total number of states with some form of legal pot at 28.In states where it is legal, doctors already prescribe it for things like pain, depression, migraines and PTSD—but research has been limited by federal drug laws. A growing quorum of scientists is calling for legitimate research into marijuana's potential as a form of medicine.

SUPERBUGS BECOME A SUPERTHREAT

In 2016, global leaders promised to address the growing issue of drug resistance—meaning bacteria that can no longer be treated with antibiotics—during a historic meeting at the U．N. headquarters in New York City. Major progress is yet to be seen, but companies like McDonald's have vowed to phase out antibiotics in their chicken, and scientists are hunting for new drug compounds in places like caves and the oceans.

CRISPR TACKLES CANCER

CRISPR is the most hyped technology in medicine for good reason: it allows scientists to easily and inexpensively edit any place of DNA from nearly any species. Recently Chinese scientists have used CRISPR to treat a person with lung cancer. Meanwhile, U．S. scientists are working on the first human trials using CRISPR to treat cancer stateside—the first of what will surely be many studies like it.

CLIMATE CHANGE AS PUBLIC-HEALTH THREAT

Climate change and pollution are contributing to the spread of infectious disease, less nutritious food, asthma and dangerous heat waves. In response, the U．S. and other nations have committed to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by as much as 28% below 2005 levels by 2025. It

remains to be seen if President-elect Donald Trump will honor that commitment, but scientists say

the issue is only growing more critical.

( )56. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A magazine. B. A self-help book. C. A brochure. D. A manual.

( )57. From the passage we know that ________.

A. marijuana will surely be more widely prescribed by doctors for medical treatment in the U．S.

B. McDonald's chicken treated with antibiotics has contributed to the spread of super bacteria C. Chinese and U．S. scientists have made progress in using CRISPR technology to treat disease

D. U．S. President will observe the commitment as climate change is threatening public health

B

Early last year, the World Economic Forum issued a paper warning that technological change is on the verge of upending the global economy. To fill the sophisticated jobs of tomorrow, the authors argued, “the ‘reskilling and upskilling of today's workers will be critical”. Around the same time, the then president Barack Obama announced a “computer science for all” programme for elementary and high schools in the United States. “We have to make sure all our kids are equipped for the jobs of the future, which means not just being able to work with computers but developing the analytical and coding skills to power our innovation economy，” he said.

But the truth is, only a tiny percentage of people in the post-industrial world will ever end up

working software engineering, biotechnology or advanced manufacturing. Just as the huge machines of the industrial revolution made physical strength less necessary for humans, the
