People who are lactose intolerant cant digest the main sugar lactose found in milk. In normal humans, the enzyme that does so lactase stops being produced when the person is between two and five years old.2. Sweden has one of the worlds higest percentages of lactase tolerant people. 3. We shouldnt really call lactose intolerance a disease, because that presumes its abnormal. Instead, they call it “lactase persistence”, indicating whats really weird is the ability to continue to drink milk.4. The mutation showed up first in Northern Europe, where people got less vitamin D from the sun and therefore did better if they could also get the crucial hormone (its not really a vitamin at all) from milk.5. The theory shows that the mutation actually appeared about 7,500 years ago in dairy farmers who lived in a region between the central Balkans and central Europe. 6. The European mutation is different from several lactase persistence genes associated with small populations of African peoples. And they found three other mutations. 7. Because the advocates think the PSA didnt take many important factors into account. For example, the impact of synthetic fertilizer and insecticides; and the connection between the latter and Parkinsons Disease. 8. The first debate is about the yields/output of the organic food, with advocates arguing that organic can feed the world while detractors insist it would cause mass starvation. The second debate is about the quality of organic food - whether organic food is healthier than conventionally produced food.9. To grow organically was, for these pioneers, to directly oppose the excesses of industrialization. A farm, these men and women argued, shouldnt be a factory. Nature, unlike an assembly line, could not be dissected into a scattering of individual pieces and rearranged to maximize productivity. Its inputs and outputs were beyond the logic of measurement.UNIT 5 CrimeI. Vocabulary Builder1.

Sentence Translation1. 这是一个编剧们钟爱的题材：完美犯罪。但在好莱坞犯罪电影中有这样一条法则，即使最高明的阴谋也常常因意外事故而脱轨。而在现实中的德国，一起盗窃案却公然藐视了该法则及该法则背后所负载的道德理念：犯罪没有好结果。2. 比起那些清白之人也会遭遇牢狱之灾的地方，我宁肯住在一个有罪之人因证据不足而可以脱罪之处。3. 尽管他曾因强奸罪而服刑，但陪审团还是无法达成一致的判决，因此法官宣布了无效审判。4. 从积极的一方面来说，陪审员认为科学能够解决犯罪，这种错误理念可以让辩护律师从中获益，因为只要缺乏能够解决犯罪的证据就意味着存在合理怀疑，从而有理由宣判（被告）无罪。5. 从另一方面说，辩护律师会发现自己需要痛苦地向陪审团解释，在犯罪现场发现的指纹、DNA或是其他类型物证和数据库中储存的样本完全对应这种情况实际上只是电视剧虚构出的种种手段之一。III.

Three. They are Bernard Knight, Monica Robbers and Evan Durnal . 9. The most obvious symptom of the CSI effect is that jurors think they have a thorough understanding of science they have seen presented on television, when they do not.10. Because they had to be sure that prospective jurors were not judging scientific evidence by television standards . 11. 1) using bleach to destroy DNA tracks; 2) wearing of gloves to avoid leaving finger prints; 3) using taping shut of envelopes.12.
