The Experimental Psychology Society tries to improve scientific communications among experimental psychologists and those working in ______ fields.
It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it _21_. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often _22_. So it is with happiness. If you pursue it _23_ drink, you are forgetting the hangover. Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, _24_ by a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian (体弱多病的人) and most people would need something more _25_. For most people, the pursuit of happiness, _26_ supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be _27_ as a personal rule of life. But I think that _28_ personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be _29_ with happiness.There are a great many people who have all the _30_ conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, _31_, are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the __32_ must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on _33_, and are happy as long as external conditions are _34_. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an _35_ night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too _36_ to be forgotten. People propose to themselves someone paramount objective, and _37_ all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so __38_ to grow rich that to this end he __39_ health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no _40_ remains to him except harrying (折磨) other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example.
Making the public library her second home, Justine is more than a casual bookworm; she is a (an) _____ young lady.
He thought that he might be able to avoid paying some of his taxes by taking advantages of the ______ in the law.
Every baby born a decade from now will have its genetic code mapped at birth, a genome sequencing company has predicted.A complete DNA read-out for every newborn will be technically feasible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says the chief executive of Illumina.This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as diabetes and heart disease can be predicted and drugs prescribed more safely and effectively.The development, however, will raise difficult questions about privacy and access to individuals’ genetic records. Many people may be reluctant to have their genome read, for fear that the results could be used against them by an employer or insurance company.The prospect of genome screening for all has emerged because of the plummeting cost of the relevant technology.The Human Genome Project, which published its first rough sequence of mankind’s genetic code in 2001, cost an estimated $4 billion. By the time the scientists James Watson and Craig Venter had their genomes mapped two years ago, the cost had fallen to about $1 m.Last month, Illumina announced a deal with a British company that is developing a new approach to sequencing that could bring costs down further. In an interview with The Times, Dr. Flatley said a genome sequence should be available for less than $1,000 in three to four years.“The limitations are sociological; when and where people think it can be applied, the concerns people have about misinformation and the background ethics questions.”“I think those are actually going to be the limits that push it out to a ten-year timeframe,” he added.By examining which genetic variants a person has inherited, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing an array of conditions, including cardiovascular disease and many cancers. Those at high risk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill.Personal genome sequencing, however, will raise legitimate concerns about privacy, “Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone—and you could potentially hand information to their employer or their insurance company,” said Dr. Flatley, “Legislation has to be passed.”Complete genetic privacy, however, was unlikely to be possible, he added.“People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably can’t be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind.”As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The apparent benefits would soon eclipse the hazards.26. A complete DNA read-out is possible in the near future because ______.27. When will genome screening be actually applied to public, according to Dr. Flatley?28. The underlined word “conditions” in the text most probably means ______.29. What might be the “bad thing” associated with personal genome sequencing?30. What does Dr. Flatley think about genome screening?
