VOA新闻10篇 VOA News Item1科技:转基因作物在美国获得好评(Special English) American farmers first planted genetically engineered crops in nineteen ninety-six.Today eighty percent of the cropland for soybeans,maize and cotton in the United States is transgenic. Genetic engineering adds or changes genes in a plant to produce desired qualities. The United States is one of twenty-five countries where farmers planted genetically engineered crops in two thousand nine.An agricultural biotechnology group says planting decreased in Europe.But the amount of cropland planted with the crops rose by an estimated seven percent worldwide. The National Research Council,part of the National Academies in Washington,recently published a study.The study examined how genetically engineered crops have affected farming in the United States.It found that many farmers have better harvests,better weed control and fewer losses from insect damage compared to traditional crops. LaReesa Wolfenbarger is a University of Nebraska biology professor and a member of the committee that wrote the report.She says they found that genetically engineered crops can be better for the environment. For example,she noted that crops designed to resist damage by glyphosate need fewer pesticides that are more toxic to the soil.Glyphosate is a chemical used in Round-Up and other weed killing products. But some farmers have used so much glyphosate that a number of kinds of weeds can now resist it.David Ervin of Portland State University in Oregon led the committee that wrote the report.Professor Ervin says this means that some farmers are again using the more toxic herbicides to control weeds.He says the problem needs immediate attention. VOA News Item2人物:多萝西·海特,美国民权之星陨落(Special English)Dorothy Height died Tuesday at the age of ninety-eight.She witnessed more civil rights history than any other African-American leader of her time.She said the greatest change she witnessed was the ending of racial segregation laws in the United States. She was the longtime chairwoman of the National Council of Negro Women.She was an activist,humanitarian and adviser to presidents including Barack Obama.He remembered her as “the godmother of the Civil Rights Movement.” Dorothy Height grew up in Pennsylvania.She won a four-year college scholarship,the top prize nationally in a public speaking contest on the Constitution. She arrived at school in New York City—only to learn that an unwritten limit of“two Negro students per year”had already been met. Dorothy Height went on to earn bachelor and master’s degrees in four years at New York University.She worked with Martin Luther King Junior in the push for civil rights for blacks in the nineteen fifties and sixties. Yet she had to push to make herself heard as a woman among mostly male civil rights leaders. She was the only woman standing nearby as Martin Luther King gave his“I Have a Dream”speech in Washington.
