               Genetically Modified Foods, Pros and Cons. 
 
      Genetically modified foods (GMs)are becoming increasingly coirtmon in many countries. However, before one opts for any of these foods, it is very important to know about their pros and cons.
           There are a variety of reasons for developing GMs. For instance, some foods are genetically modified to prevent the occurrence of allergies after consumption, while some are developed to improve their shelf life.
            Though the seeds of GMs are quite expensive, their cost of production is said to be lesser than that of the traditional crops for these foods do have natural resistance towards damaging pests and insects. This reduces the necessity of exposing crops to hazardous Chemicals. It is also said that GMs grow faster. Due to this, productivity increases, providing the population with more food. At times, GMs crops can be grown at places with unfavorable climatic conditions whereas a normal crop can grow only in specific season or under some favorable climatic conditions.
            The biggest threat caused by GMs is that they can have harmful effects on the human body. It is believed that they can cause diseases which are immune to antibiotics. Moreover, according to some experts, people who consume such foods have high chances of developing câncer. Besides, not much is known about their long-term effects on human beings.
            In many countries, manufacturers do not mention on the labei that foods are genetically modified because they think that this would affect their business. However, this is not a good practice as consumers do not get the chance to decide whether they should really opt for these foods, Experts are of the opinion that with the increase of genetically modified foods, developing countries would start depending more on industrial countries because it is likely that the food production would be controlled by them in the time to come.

Based on the text below, answer the question. 


Navy preps submarines for lst female officers 


      HARTFORD, Conn. — For Ensign Peggy LeGrand, the biggest concern about serving on a submarine is not spending weeks at a time in tight quarters with an entirely male crew. What worries her is the scrutiny that comes with breaking one of the last gender barriers in the military. 
      "I have a feeling more people will be focused on us. Our mistakes and successes will be magnified more than they deserve", said LeGrand, a 25-year-old Naval Academy graduate from Amarillo, Texas.
     LeGrand is among a small group of female officers who are training at sites including Groton, Connecticut, to join the elite submarine force beginning later this year. While the Navy says it is not treating them any differently from their male counterparts, officials have been working to prepare the submarine crews — and the sailors1 wives — for one of the most dramatic changes in the 111-year history of the Navy’s "silent Service."
        The change is a source of anxiety for others, including the wives of submariners, who worry the close contact at sea could lead to sailors' cheating. The issue really has to do with the creation of a relationship that becomes very close and then results in further relations ashore. That is, of course, what bothers the wives. "They know the kind of relationships that happens between the shipmates", said retired Navy Rear Adm. W . J. Holland Jr., a former submarine commander. 
        The initial class of 24 women will be divided among four submarines, where they will be outnumbered by men by a ratio of roughly 1 to 25. The enlisted ranks, which make up about 90 percent of a sub's 160-sailor crew, are not open to women although the Navy is exploring modifications to create separate bunks for men and women. 
         The female officers, many of them engineering graduates from Annapolis, are accustomed to being in the minority, and so far they say they hardly feel like outsiders. The nuclear power school that is part of their training, for example, has been open to women for years because the Navy in 1994 reversed a ban on females serving on its surface ships, including nuclear-powered vesseis.

PART 1: READING COMPREHENSION 

Based on the text below, answer the question. 

A Shift from Nursing Homes to Managed Care at Home

      Faced with soaring health care costs and shrinking Medicare and Medicaid financing, nursing home operators are closing some facilities and embracing an emerging model of care that allows many elderly patients to remain in their homes and still receive the medicai and social Services available in institutions. 
    In the newer model, a team of doctors, social workers, physical and occupational therapists and other specialists provide managed care for individual patients at home, at adult day-care centers and in visits to specialists. Studies suggest that it can be less expensive than traditional nursing homes while providing better medicai outcomes. 
     The number of such programs has expanded rapidly, growing from 42 programs in 22 States in 2007 to 84 in 29 States today. In New York City, a program run by a division of Center Light Health System, formerly known as the Be th Abraham Family of Health Services, has over 2,500 participants at 12 sites in the metropolitan area.
       "It used to be that if you needed some kind of long-term care, the only way you could get that Service was in a nursing home, with 24-hour nursing care," said Jason A. Helgerson, the Medicaid director for New York State. "That meant we were institutionalizing Service for people, many of whom didn't need 24-hour nursing care. If a person can get a Service like home health care or Meais on Wheels, they can stay in an apartment and thrive in that environment, and it's a lower cost to taxpayers."
