30、ystem and authentic interest in welcoming a student to Australia.Superior Homestay ExperiencesWe believe that choosing a homestay for accommodation when coming to a new country ensures a more successful experience for international students.

31、me while adjusting to Australian culture and the community they will be living in.

To promote an Australian homestay program.Mom was wrong when she taught me thatsticks and stones may break my bones, but nameswill never hurt me”.Ndamhest names can shame, ridicule, and humiliate1). Some relate

38、to race or gender; others refer to weight, facial features, or a particular part of onethat refer to social class or what part of the country you re from can be hurtful, as can nainvolve age, religion, or physical ability. Certainly, no one likes to be called a name that is disrespectful, unkind, or

39、 mean. But there is another category of name-calling that is also hurtful and destructive: names such as “ racist, ”“ sexist, ” and the like. Yet many throw these labels ardrop of a hat, without understanding what the labels actually mean, not to mention the damage done by accusing someone of racism

40、, sexism, etc. The accusation alone can be enough to ruin a reputation, kill a career, or be used to discredita lifetime of good work.Let s consider the definition orfacism: “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human characteristics and capacities and that racial difference produces a s

41、uperiority of a particular race How about the definition of sexism: “ prejuidce or discrimination based on sex, especially discrimination against women ” . I wonder, do the TV talking heads understand the true definition of the labels they throw at public figures:“ racist, ”“ sexist ” or worse, base

42、d on nothing more thcomment taken out of context or someone s clumsy attempt at humor.My point is that the political correctness movementhas gone way too far. While the original intention of political correctness may have been good (to encourage sensitivity to othersaround issues of gender, race, re

43、ligion, sexual orientation, physical abilities, and such), the effect of political correctness has been to make everyone avoid these topics altogether, thereby damaging our ability to get comfortable in living and working with those who are different from us. It s gone s far that political correctne

44、ss has become a bigger problem than the problem it was intended to address! These days everyone is so afraid of being called “sexist or “racistor" some other career-killing label, that we all tiptoe carefully around diversity issues, and avoid them altogether if we possibly can.But the question

45、 is: How are we ever going to be able to live and work together more comfortably if we can ' t talk about our feeling, fears, anxsetirniptaons, hopes, worries, dreams, and concerns? How can we ever build trust with those who are different from us? If we must constantly self-examine any conversat

46、ion relating to race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or physical ability, then we are bound toperpetuate the very barriers we say we want to overcome.58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are different types of hurtful and destructive name-calling.B. TV presenter

47、s are careful when they accuse someone of racism.C. We should avoid talking about diversity issues altogether.D. Political correctness makes it easier to address problems.59. The underlined word “ perpetuate " probably means.A. live withB. get rid ofC. burst throughD. break down60. What is the

48、author ' s attitude towards the current situation of political correctness?A. Unconcerned.B. Critical.C. Neutral.D. Supportive.CWhen Noah Shulman was born a few days after Christmas 2016, his parents Kristelle and Evan had no reason to worry about him. Everything went smoothly. But within a few

49、days of taking his first breath, Noah began to struggle. After a painful month of medical emergencies, the Shulmans learned that their son had a rare genetic disease that affected his mitochondria （线粒体）. Unfortunately, there are no treatments for mitochondrial disorders, as it' s not yet posor a

50、lter the affected mitochondrial genes using gene therapyt 法）.Although told by doctors that they wouldnhetahthyeDiological child, and exploringoptions like adopting, the Shulmans weren' t ready to give up on having biological children. Thenthey learned about mitochondrial replacement therapy （MRT

51、）, a promising innovation in fertility （生育）treatments which is considered as a form of genetic editing. It involves replacing just the mutated （突变）mitochondria with healthy mitochondrial DNA from a donor, while keeping the biological mother ' s and father ' s DNA complete.“We are breaking do

52、wn a barrier that has certainly never been crossed before," sHirano, medical director of the laboratory of molecular genetics at Columbia University, who plansto perform MRT for the Shulmans as part of a study." Clearly biologically the embryo or persoigenerated has three different sources

53、 of DNA, and that' s a unique or novel concept. ”Scientists like Hirano and families like the Shulmans are far more comfortable with that thanare policymakers. Federal policy not only prevents scientists from using government money for research on human embryos, but also prohibits the Food and D

54、rug Administration from even accepting applications to consider approving the procedure. That' w hy Hirano found private funding for his study, which the Shulmans and five other couples have joined. Even so, he can only perform MRT; he cannot transfer the embryos for pregnancy （受孕）.They remain f

55、rozen until policies change. “Right now we are in suspension with these embryos," he says. "Weforward until we have permission to move forward. ”Many researchers argue that universal dismissal of any research involving genetic alteration of human embryos, like MRT, closes off valuable work

56、 that could lead to treatments for diseases. But they also acknowledge that some fast-moving scientists overseas, who are already introducingpermanent genetic changesin embryos, may be going too far, as it nsot yet clear how safe and effective these interventions are. In November, a Chinese bioengin

57、eer alarmed both the scientific community and the public when he announced he had used a powerful but still untested gene-editing tool called CRISPR to introduce a genetic change in twin girls when they weres develonpoetresd that the long-termembryos to make them resistant to HIV infection. CRISPR i

58、mplicatio ns of editing the human genome aren ktnown, and stood by their previous call for a voluntary moratorium （暂停 ） on work on genetically editing human embryos that will be transferred for pregnancy.Kristelle and Evan will still have to wait but they believe that time will have been well spent ifit leads to new ways for people to have families
