21、Being the “cat’s whiskers(胡须)” is a humorous and positive way of noting that something is considered to be very near perfect. The humorous and cute images that this particular term brings to mind have something to do with the use of whiskers of the cat, including the ability to express feelings, sense changes in the environment, help with hunting, and help the cat measure distance(测量距离).
Different views are held on the exact origin of the English saying “cat’s whiskers”.
Some believe that the term, along with a similar “cat’s meow”, has its origin in girls’ boarding schools of the 19th century. Others believe that the term was first brought to life by Thomas Dorgan, an artist who was active during the early years of the 20th century. What is generally agreed is that by the 1920s, both “cat’s whiskers” and “cat’s meow” were often used in the United States and commonly used as a term among young people of college age.
Unlike other sayings that may sometimes carry positive or negative meanings depending on the setting, “Cat’s whiskers” is always used in a positive way. An employer(雇主)may use the term to refer to an employee who produces wonderful work. Proud parents may say this to their children when they perform well in a school play or win some type of competition. In each situation, “cat’s whiskers” is used to show warm feelings for another person.
While not used as commonly as before, being the “cat’s whiskers” is still generally understood to be a good thing. Younger people may sometimes have to receive an explanation of what the term means, which can lead to seeing the use of the saying in a funny way. Even those who consider the saying to be outdated and not worthy of use in public may still use the term to show love and respect in private settings.

23、 A new kind of rice, golden rice, may soon make its way into the world’s food supply by the year 2021, reports Science magazine.
Golden rice was actually first developed back in the 1990s by German scientists who were looking for creative ways to reduce rates of Vitamin A deficiency(维生素A缺乏症) in human body, which continues to be a major concern throughout the developing world. Beta-carotene(胡萝卜素), which exists in some plants, can change into vitamin A in our body.
In view of beta-carotene’s characteristics, German scientists tried and managed to make rice filled with additional beta-carotene, which has a strong red orange color. The beta-carotene that is added to this rice is actually what conduces to its special golden color.
To German scientists, developing this rice was meaningful. But as with all GM(转基因的) crops, some people warn that the golden rice may be unnecessary and even harmful, possibly having some environment consequences. Until now, those voices have prevented golden rice from being planted anywhere.
However, that’s about to change. Bangladesh now plans to become the first country to approve golden rice for planting. Recently, golden rice is receiving a series of tests before the final approval of Bangladesh. Tests conducted by the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) found no new farming challenges with golden rice and no big differences in quality between the crop and the traditional varieties, with the exception that golden rice is more nutritious. Some other organizations are still doing tests about the environmental influences of the crop. If those results are also good, then golden rice will have received all the approval it needs to move forward with planting.
As for the future market for the golden rice, the crop will need to gain the public’s trust. And it remains to be seen whether golden rice will offer a better nutritional and economical choice compared to other sources of vitamin A, such as other vegetables where it occurs naturally.
【1】What was German scientists’ main purpose of working on rice?
A.To raise its output. B.To make it look prettier.
C.To collect its beta-carotene. D.To improve its vitamin A content in our body.
【2】What does the underlined part “conduces to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Causes. B.Changes. C.Removes. D.Lightens.
【3】What do BRRI’s tests show about golden rice?
A.It can hardly grow on the farmland of Bangladesh. B.It is nutritionally better than traditional rice.
C.It may do serious harm to the environment. D.It is no different from other rice in taste.
【4】How is golden rice’s future market in the author’s opinion?
A.Promising. B.Worrying. C.Uncertain. D.Hopeless.
