QUALITY OR QUANTITY

You didn't ask for it, and you might not know about it. But you've probably already eaten some of it. It's genetically engineered food. Perfectly round tomatoes all exactly the same size, long straight cucumbers and big fat chickens are now a normal part of our diets. They are made that way by genetic engineering — not by nature. Their genes have been changed.

Every living thing has genes. They are passed on from generation to generation. They make sure that humans give birth to humans and cows give birth to cows. They also make sure that a dog cannot give birth to a frog or an elephant.

Genetic engineers take genes from one species — for example, a scorpion, and transfer them to another — for example corn. In this way a new life form is created. Genetic engineers put duck genes into chickens to make the chickens bigger. They put hormones into cows to make them produce more milk. This does not make them cheaper, tastier or healthier. It makes them easier and faster for the farmer to grow.

The effects of genetic engineering on our health are not known. Many of the genes which are used — such as those of scorpions, rats, mice and moths — are not part of our diet so we do not know how dangerous they may be. For example, people can develop allergies to food which has been genetically engineered. The effects of genetic engineering on the natural world may be disastrous. The engineers may create life forms — monsters — that we cannot control.

Some people believe, though, that genetic engineering could be the solution to the problem of famine.

We would all like a better, healthier and longer life, and genetic engineering might give us this. On the other hand, it may be a dangerous experiment with nature.

6. Перепишите следующие вопросы и дайте письменные ответы. Переведите предложения.

4. What are the pros and contras of genetic engineering?

OUR UNIVERSITY AND MY SPECIALITY

(CT)

Let me introduce myself. My full name is Murad . I am a second-year student of Tver

State Technical University.

Tver Technical University is one of the biggest higher schools in our country. Tver Technical University was established in 1922 as Moscow Peat Institute. In 1958 it was transferred to Kalinin. In 1965 Peat Institute was reorganized into polytechnic. In 1994 it was renamed into Tver State Technical University.

Every year highly-qualified specialists for national economy graduate from the University. They are chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, economists, ecologists, managers, systems engineers and many others.

About 5 000 students study at Tver Technical University. The University consists of six studying buildings and several dormitories. The class-rooms and lecture-halls, laboratories and workshops are equipped with up-to-date instruments, computers, machine-tools, audio-visuals and other training appliances. There is a rich library, four reading-rooms, dining halls and a sports complex at the disposal of students. So the University has all the facilities necessary for successful studies and rest.

Education at the University is organized in two forms: full-time and extra-mural.

I am taking an extra-mural course at the Institute of Additional Professional Education of the university.

My future speciality will be connected with building and construction or civil engineering.

The term engineering is a modem one. The art of building houses, palaces, temples, roads, and other structures was known many thousand years ago. Now we call it civil engineering. As time went on the art of civil engineering was enriched with new achievements of science. It grew into a profession that required college training. Nowadays we may speak of civil engineering as of an important branch of national economy.

Construction is nowadays based on the wide introduction of advanced industrial technology. That is why we are trained to use special graphics and design computer applications for construction and building, mathematical modeling and calculations.

A large-scale construction program is carried out in our country and I think it will be possible to find a proper job after graduation.
