M: Well, it looks just like an ordinary plane, really. It’s about the same size as a plane, and it can carry about 50 passengers.
W: But it doesn’t act like an ordinary plane, does it?
M: No, it’s much faster. For example, you could fly from London to Beijing in only 30 minutes.
W: My goodness! And how does it work?
M: Well, shortly after taking off, the plane leaves the earth’s atmosphere and goes into orbit around the earth until it returns to the ground.
W: So it’s really a kind of space rocket.
M: Not really, no, for two reasons. First, a space rocket can only be used once, but this space plane can be used for many times. Second, while the plane is traveling through the atmosphere, the pilot can fly it just like an ordinary plane.
W: It sounds very exciting.

W: Hello, everyone, I'm Mary Scott. I'd like to talk about the organic farming and food that our university studies.
M: What is the latest news of the study?
W: Well, we have found organic farming is not only good for the environment, it can also increase profits for the farmers. The trees grown organically can produce better tasting fruits.
M: Wow, that's very encouraging.
W: Yes. People who have tasted organic apples say they are much sweeter than any other apples produced non-organically.
M: Haha. It must be very interesting to taste the different apples.
W: Yes. Now more and more people believe eating organic food is more helpful than eating food produced with chemicals.
M: Sure. I am willing to pay more for organic food products.
W: Yes, it's believed to be healthier. Organic farmers do not use chemicals to increase their crops or to control insects, weeds and disease.
M: Well, what are the prospects for the organic food?
W: It's one of the fastest growing areas of American agriculture. The number of organic farmer is growing at a rate of about 12% each year.

M: Yes, well, I've been looking into the ability of certain animals to freeze themselves for a certain amount of time, and then to come back to life when the circumstances around them change. And, what I've been working on over the past two years is the particular process that enables them to do this.
W: What have you actually discovered?
M: I think it's a particular chemical in the animals' bodies which begins to work under certain circumstances. And I'm now experimenting with this chemical to see if I can get other animals that wouldn't normally be able to freeze themselves to be able to do this.
W: Have you had any success?
M: I have so far. It's been going very well. And I'm reasonably confident that perhaps within ten years from now I'll be able to freeze human beings for as long or as short a time as I would like to, and then bring them back to life again in exactly the same state that they were in before they were frozen ... just as you can do with animals.
W: And what's the main application of your research?
M: I think the main application of this for human beings would be for people with terminal illnesses, such as certain types of cancer, AIDS. we could freeze them, find a cure for the illness and then bring them back to life again and administer the cure.
W: I see. Well, this obviously is going to create great debate I would think as to the rights and wrongs of whether we should be actually doing this.

New Product Will Save Lives
Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs(虫子),which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Parton, who started Genera five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.
Andy Headland, Genera’s marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA and forecast good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at $ 42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government. Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr. Headland believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.
Genera Technologies has developed a method that determines whether water is clean.
