Tmates are cmmn in daily life. Cathie Martin, a British scientist, has been wrking n develping purple tmates fr years. Thugh the clr is unusual, nw this special kind f tmates, which has gained apprval frm the US gvernment, has very high levels f antixidants (抗氧化剂).
Antixidants, als knwn as AOS, are fund naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tmates naturally nly have a small amunt f AOS in them. Martin wanted t see if she culd create tmates with lts f AOS by changing the DNA f a tmat plant.
A plant develped frm specially created DNA is knwn as a GMO. After adding tw genes (基因) frm a plant called snapdragn, Martin sn fund her plants were prducing small purple tmates with lts f AOS. Martin and ther scientists further tested the tmates n mice that were likely t get cancer. The mice that were fed the purple tmates lived abut 30% lnger than thse fed nrmal tmates.

Even s, many peple still have cncerns abut them. Because f these cncerns, mst GMO prducts created ver the last 20 years have fcused n helping farmers rather than attracting custmers.

28. What's the authr's attitude t the test n the mice?
A. SupprtiveB. DubtfulC. CncernedD. Oppsed
29. What des the underlined wrd "s" in Paragraph 5 refer t?
A. The envirnment affects GMO fds.B. The custmers d nt like GMO fds.
C. GMO prducts are used t help farmers.D. Scientists think GMO prducts are safe.
30. What's mainly talked abut in the text?

Tmates are cmmn in daily life. Cathie Martin, a British scientist, has been wrking n develping purple tmates fr years. Thugh the clr is unusual, nw this special kind f tmates, which has gained apprval frm the US gvernment, has very high levels f antixidants (抗氧化剂).
Antixidants, als knwn as AOS, are fund naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tmates naturally nly have a small amunt f AOS in them. Martin wanted t see if she culd create tmates with lts f AOS by changing the DNA f a tmat plant.
A plant develped frm specially created DNA is knwn as a GMO. After adding tw genes (基因) frm a plant called snapdragn, Martin sn fund her plants were prducing small purple tmates with lts f AOS.
