TEXT 3 Dozens of companies these days are hawking genetic testing kits, which claim to give consumers a glimpse of their future health. But how accurate are they Perhaps not very, according to witnesses at U. S. Senate hearing here today, as well a report released concurrently by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress’s investigation arm. There are genetic tests for more than 1000 conditions. While in some cases, such as cystic fibrosis, having a particular set of mutations all but guarantees disease, in many others it correlates only with an increase in disease risk. For example, mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes correspond with a roughly 50% to 80% risk of breast cancer. DNA tests are regulated by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), which, some critics have charged, lacks the ability to effectively oversee complex and rapidly changing diagnostics. While most DNA tests are administered in a doctor’s office, some can be ordered from companies online. A subset of these tests, called "nutragenic" DNA tests, claim to provide consumers with information about diseases for which they’re supposedly at risk as well as, in some cases, dietary advice, such as pills sold by the company, that may counter the hazard. It’s this class of tests that GAO and the Senate’s Special Committee on Aging tackled. To conduct the investigation, the GAO team ordered DNA tests online, all of which examined between four and 19 genes, from four companies: Market America, Genelex, Sciona, and Suracell. Using DNA samples from a 48-year-old man and the 9-month-old daughter of GAO’s Gregory Kutz, who helped assemble the report, the team created 14 fictitious characters with various lifestyles. If the companies were truly focusing on genetics, many of the results that came back didn’t make sense. In some cases, two DNA samples from the same source came back with a different list of disease risks. In addition, the companies recommended nutritional formulas tailored to an individual’s DNA, but the investigators found that identical formulas were prescribed for people with different DNA. The DNA tests "threaten more than the public’s pocketbook; they threaten public health," Kathy Hudson of the Genetics and Public Policy Center testified at the hearing. Hudson told the senators that legislation was needed to better regulate and validate these tests. Representatives from the companies, however, took a different view. Rosalynn Gill-Garrison, the chief science officer of Sciona, based in Boulder, Colorado, emphasized that her firm’s products were safe, effective, and ethically appropriate. The attitude to DNA tests is written as the following expect ______.
TEXT 2 Imagine a chart that begins when man first appeared on the planet and tracks the economic growth of societies from then forward. It would be a long, fiat line until the late 16th or early 17th century, when it would start trending upward. Before then the fruits of productive labor were limited to a few elites-princes, merchants and priests. For most of humankind life was as the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes famously described it in 1651-- "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." But as Hobbes was writing those words, the world around him was changing. Put simply, human beings were getting smarter. People have always sought knowledge, of course, but in Western Europe at that time, men like Galileo, Newton and Descartes began to search systematically for ways to understand and control their environment. The scientific revolution, followed by the Enlightenment, marked a fundamental shift. Humans were no longer searching for ways simply to fit into a natural or divine order; they were seeking to change it. Once people found ways to harness energy-using steam engines-they were able to build machines that harnessed far more power than any human or horse could ever do. And people could work without ever getting tired. The rise of these machines drove the Industrial Revolution, and created a whole new system of life. Today the search for knowledge continues to produce an ongoing revolution in the health and wealth of humankind. If the rise of science marks the first great trend in this story, the second is its diffusion. What was happening in Britain during the Industrial Revolution was not an isolated phenomenon. A succession of visitors to Britain would go back to report to their countries on the technological and commercial innovations they saw there. Sometimes societies were able to learn extremely fast, as in the United States. Others, like Germany, benefited from starting late, leapfrogging the long-drawn-out process that Britain went through. This diffusion of knowledge accelerated dramatically in recent decades. Over the last 30 years we have watched countries like Japan, Singapore, South Korea and now China grow at a pace that is three times that of Britain or the United States at the peak of the Industrial Revolution. They have been able to do this because of their energies and exertions, of course, but also because they cleverly and perhaps luckily adopted certain ideas about development that had worked in the Westreasonably flee markets, open trade, a focus on science and technology, among them. The diffusion of knowledge is the dominant trend of our time and goes well beyond the purely scientific. Consider the cases of Turkey and Brazil. If you had asked an economist 20 years ago how to think about these two countries, he would have explained that they were classic basketcase, Third World economies, with triple-digit inflation, soaring debt burdens, a weak private sector and snail’space growth. Today they are both remarkably well managed, with inflation in single digits and growth above 5 percent. And this shift is happening around the world. From Thailand to South Africa to Slovakia to Mexico, countries are far better managed economically than they have ever been. Even in cases where political constraints make it difficult to push farreaching reforms, as in Brazil, Mexico or India, governments still manage their affairs sensibly, observing the Hippocratic oath not to do any harm. It’s implied in the first paragraph that some people possessed productive labor except ______.
