Scientists were embroiled (使卷入) last week in an international row over genetically modified cotton (GM cotton).
A study in China suggested for the first time that the crop was permanently damaging the environment and that insects were building up resistance to it.
The study, by the Nanjing institute of Environmental Science, combined the laboratory and field work from four Chinese scientific institutes. The study was done over a several - year period.
GM Cotton had a gene resistance to the cotton bollworm (棉铃虫) and isolated from the bacterium (细菌) named Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), but the study found that it harms the natural parasitic (寄生的) enemies of the cotton bollworm.
It also indicated that populations of pests besides the bollworm had increased in Bt cotton fields and some had replaced the bollworm as the primary pest.
However, the leading GM company, the US's Monsanto, which controls more than 80 per cent of the Bt cotton grown worldwide, dismissed the research.
It said that the industry has always cited GM cotton as its biggest success, because it can increase yields by up to 60 per cent and reduce the need for pesticides (杀虫剂) by 80 per cent.
But, unfortunately for the industry, (80) the scientists also found that the resistance of Bt cotton to bollworm decreased significantly over time.
Why scientists say no to GM cotton？
A．Because the cotton was genetically modified.
B．Because the cotton was found to damage the environment.
C．Because the cotton harms the bollworm.
D．Because Monsanto dismissed the research.
The author imply that ______.
A．The US's Monsanto agreed with the results of Chinese scientists study
B．GM cotton is an ideal crop
C．The US's Monsanto dismissed the research for its own profit
D．Cotton bollworm has no resistance to Bt cotton over time

In 1960—1961, Chad (乍得) harvested 98,000 tons of cotton for the first time in its history, and put out the flag a little too soon. The efforts of the authorities to get the peasants ' back' to work, as they had slacked off a great deal the previous year during independence celebrations, largely contributed to it. Also, rains were well spaced, and continued through the whole month of October. If the 1961—1962 total is back to the region of 45,000 tons, it is mostly because efforts slackened again and sowing was started too late.
The average date of sowing is about July 1st. ff this date is simply moved up fifteen or twenty days, 30,000 to 60,000 tons of cotton are gained, depending on the year. The peasant in Chad sows his millet first, and it is hard to criticize this instinctive priority given to his ' daily bread'.
An essential reason for his lateness with sowing cotton is that at the time when he should leave to prepare the fields he has just barely sold the cotton of the previous season. The work required to sow, in great heat, is psychologically far more difficult if one's pockets are full of money. The date of cotton sales should therefore be moved forward as much as possible, and purchases of equipment and draught animals encouraged.
Peasants should also be encouraged to save money, to help them through the difficult pealed between harvests. If necessary they should be forced to do so, by having the payments for cotton given to them in installments. The last payment would be made after proof that the peasant has planted before the deadline, the date being advanced to the end of June. Those who have done so would receive extra money whereas the last planters would not receive their last payment until later.
Only the first steps are hard, because once work has started the peasants continue willingly on their way. Educational campaigns among the peasants will play an essential role in this basic advance, early sowing, on which all the others depend. It is not a matter of controlling the peasants.
Each peasant will remain master of his fields. One could, however, suggest the need for the time being of kind but firm rule, which, as long as it cannot be realized 'by the people' , should at least be 'for the people. '

听力原文：W: Would you please describe the nature of your farm？

If I find them, I have to apply pesticides. If my machinery breaks down, I have to fix it. Of course, I must also make sure my crops get picked when they are ready.
W: If you were to start a new business this year, what changes would you make？
