大学新视野英语期末复习题(3)

At present, it is believed that genes account for at least half of out general thinking ability. Looking for better genes for their children has become the major concern of many would-be parents. They hope they can have a choice of the baby's sex, its likely height, weight, hair, eye color, and intelligence

Four months ago, an unnamed couple placed "wanted" advertisements in several students' newspapers run by high-fee, famous colleges where they might be able to find the genes they wanted for their children

"Intelligent, athletic egg-donor needed for loving family," their advertisement read, "You must be at least 178 centimeters, strongly built, and possess no major family medical issues," And the reward? It was $50000

The couple has disclosed that 300 women responded. And more than a hundred reached the stage of consideration : 20 from Yale, 30 from Harvard. 40 from Princeton, and 15 from Stanford

What drew most attention was not the courage of the couple who advertised in these famous college newspapers, and not the principle of "eggs for sale", but the sum American egg donors expect to be paid. Until then, the going rate was about $3000 to $5000, plus all the costs of medical treatment and insurance. Their action raised " high-quality" donor eggs into a different price bracket, as high as $50000. This amount would meet almost half the cost of fees for the students‘ four-year college course. And it is a good deal more than the average American's annual wage.
