【正文】 Crossbreeding can take such a long time, however, and it is inaccurate. Now, we can change exact sections of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), so the process is more accurate and faster. But people all over the world are arguing about its benefits and disadvantages. Some people use the technology to produce desired characteristics of plants and animals. Other people are concerned that the genetically engineered plants may harm the environment and worried that they may be dangerous for people to eat.根據(jù)最后一段中的“If technology succeeds in creating emotionally intelligent digital humans, experts say, it may forever change the way living people cooperate with puters and experience loss.”可知，專家們說，如果科技成功地創(chuàng)造出高情商的數(shù)字人類，它可能會永遠(yuǎn)改變?nèi)祟惻c電腦交互的方式，以及處理失去親人創(chuàng)傷的方式，即目前的數(shù)字人類還無法擁有高情商，還是不夠完美的，因此數(shù)字人技術(shù)還有很長的路要走。s worth of advice long after his physical body is gone. ”如果一切按計(jì)劃進(jìn)行，后代可以通過移動端的語音平臺和他交流，即使他的肉體不存在后，還可以問他問題，讓他講故事以及咨詢他一生經(jīng)驗(yàn)的寶貴建議。Kaplan同意變成數(shù)字人，可知，卡普蘭同意變成數(shù)字人是為了能更長時間的分享自己的這些故事。Kaplan同意變成數(shù)字人 ，可知，第一段的內(nèi)容主要是引出下文中文章的話題數(shù)字人。根據(jù)第一段可知，當(dāng)安德魯s first: meaningful examples, raising plex philosophical questions about the nature of immortality and the purpose of existence itself.（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph? highlight Kaplan39。s first virtual residents, partly because he considers the effort a way to extend closed family bonds over multiple generations.s legacy(遺產(chǎn)) online forever.s first digital humans.s worth of advice long after his physical body is gone.Now the silver haired 78year old has realized he would like his loved ones to have access to those stories, even when he is no longer alive to share them.

A.One fourth of them have destroyed forest habitat for birds.B. Bird Friendly coffees are shadegrown, meaning the coffee is planted under trees, rather than on the land that has been cleared of all other plants. Coffee experts say shadegrown coffees taste better, because the beans ripen slower than coffee grown in the full sun, resulting in a richer, more plex flavor. Bird Friendly certified coffees grow under biodiverse shade that provides habitat for migratory songbirds and other wildlife, stores carbon and fights climate change. Bird Friendly coffees are also certified organic, meaning they are grown without pesticides, which is better for people and for the planet.
