To Label or Not to Label: California Prepares to Vote on Genetically Engineered Foods
by Richard Dahl (excerpt)

Although campaigns for and against GE labeling [for genetically engineered foods] in California are focusing heavily on economic impacts, the real debate revolves around a scientific question: Are these foods truly safe or not?

“I think it’s fair to say that most scientists think the techniques that are used [to create GE plants] are not inherently dangerous,” says Peggy Lemaux, a cooperative extension specialist in the Plant and Microbial Biology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. In fact, in 2010 the European Commission released an analysis of 50 studies conducted on GE foods over the last 25 years and concluded that GE technologies posed no greater risks than conventional breeding technologies....

“The reason I don’t worry about GMOs [genetically modified foods] is not because someone has convinced me with a big study that they’re safe,” says Michael Eisen, an associate professor of genetics, genomics, and development at the University of California, Berkeley, and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. “It’s because when I look at the technology, I understand what this technology is doing. They’re introducing proteins that have been very well characterized into plants, and I don’t see any reason at all to suspect that these are harmful. . . .”

Some scientists, however, believe questions about the safety of GE foods are far from answered. Doug Gurian-Sherman, senior scientist with the Food and Environment Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, says the question is not whether there’s risk involved in GE foods, but whether it’s greater than risks posed by conventional foods. “Because of the greater capacity to bring unknown quantities into the food supply, I’m of the school that says it has somewhat higher potential for risk,” he says. “Other scientists say no. But I don’t think it’s a settled debate.”

Hansen responds to claims that there’s no evidence of harm from GE foods by saying, “That’s just not true. I can show you all kinds of studies in the scientific literature that have . . . raised red flags that need to be followed up on.” In one such study, investigators reviewed 19 studies of mammals fed GE soybeans and maize. They found that “several convergent data appear to indicate liver and kidney problems as end points of GMO diet effects,” with the kidneys more affected in males and the liver more affected in females. The authors, noting the limitations of the 28- and 90-day assays they reviewed, pointed out that chronic toxicity testing is not required for GE foods, but that it should be.

Then, answer the following questions. The letters of the correct answers will form your code. (ALL CAPS)

The writer asserts, “The phenomenon has been observed for centuries, with the blame shifting to whatever specific anxieties are culturally pervasive at the time.” Which of the following best describes the culturally pervasive anxieties Arthur Miller represents in “The Crucible?”

a. A fear of fungus on crops and the stress of church politics
b. Paranoia of witchcraft and the devil and a fear of Communism
c. Anxiety about outside attacks from Native Americans
d. Fear of one’s neighbors


Which piece of evidence from the article would best support Miller’s belief that the Salem Witch trials were a result of repression?

a. "The phenomenon has been observed for centuries, with the blame shifting to whatever specific anxieties are culturally pervasive at the time.”
b. “Some scholars have also argued that hysterical episodes allow women to take a break from daily drudgeries, or to rage against patriarchal cultures within the safe bounds of demon possession or poisoning.”
c. “Victims of mass hysteria are so often female that gender imbalance is one clue doctors use to differentiate hysteria from poisoning.”
d. “Sociologist Robert Bartholomew noted in a 2001 book on mass hysteria that girls are trained to turn their anxieties inward, while anxious boys are likelier to act out.”


The writer explains, “If girls can find no outlet for reckless abandon, in other words, they’ll create one,” and then quotes Barbara Ehrenreich, Elizabeth Hess, and Gloria Jacobs: “To abandon control—to scream, faint, dash about in mobs—was, in form if not in conscious intent, to protest the sexual repressiveness, the rigid double standard of female teen culture.” These quotes best explain which of the following events in “The Crucible?”

a. Abigail’s threats toward the other girls
b. Abigail stabbing herself and using the poppet to frame Goody Proctor
c. The girls dancing and making charms in the woods
d. Ruth Putnam accusing George Jacobs of witchcraft


The last paragraph describes a case from 1789 New England. In what way is this case similar to the events of “The Crucible?”

a. Similar to the women in the factory, the girls in “The Crucible” have no outlet for leisure or self-expression, and therefore act out due to the stress of repression.
b. The Puritan girls in “The Crucible” are overworked in the fields and simply want a break from their labor, similar to the women in the factory.
c. Abby and the girls return to normal after being offered a chance to express their emotions, similar to how the women in the factory were fine after letting loose a little.
d. Similar to Mrs. Putnam’s anxiety over her dead babies, these women acted out due to stress over their children and other issues.


Which quote from “The Crucible” best exemplifies mass hysteria, as defined in this article?

a. HALE: "No man may longer doubt the powers of the dark are gathered in monstrous attack up on this village. There is too much evidence now to deny it”
b. PROCTOR: Why do you never wonder if Parris be innocent, or Abigail? Is the accuser always holy now? Were they born this morning as clean as God’s fingers? I’ll tell you what’s walking Salem - vengeance is walking Salem.
c. DANFORTH: In an ordinary crime, how does one defend the accused? One calls up witnesses to prove his innocence. But witchcraft is ipso facto, on its face and by its nature, an invisible crime, is it not? Therefore, who may possibly be witness to it?
d. MARY WARREN: I--I cannot tell you how [I saw spirits], but I did. I--I heard the other girls screaming, and you, Your Honor, you seemed to believe them, and I--It were only sport in the beginning, sir, but then the whole world cried spirits, spirits, and I--I promise you, Mr. Danforth, I only thought I saw them but I did not.”

Read the text, then answer the question that follows: Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011 Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home. Review the following line from the text: Armed with cameras and cell phones, they were invading the lions' territory in hopes of capturing the perfect photograph. The author uses several verbs to describe the tourists' actions. The connotative tone of these verbs implies that the photographers are A:hunters B:reporters C:scientists D:students​
