721．Tomatoes are common in daily life.Cathie Martin，British scientist，has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years.Though the color is unusual，now this special kind of tomatoes has very high levels of antioxidants（抗氧化劑）.
Antioxidants，also known as AOS，are found naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage.Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes.But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of AOS in them.Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of AOS by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO.Martin added two genes（基因）from a plant called snapdragon.Soon her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of AOS.Even better，the tomatoes remained fresh almost twice as long as normal tomatoes.Martin and other scientists further tested the tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer.The mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than those fed normal tomatoes.Though that's good news，experiments on mice don't always predict what effects on humans will be like.We need to see more experiments about it.
GMOs were first allowed in America in the late 1990s.But GMO products weren't popular with customers.Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren't natural or safe.There're still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment.However，scientists deny these claims.
Even so，many people have concerns about them.Because of these concerns，most GMO products created over the last 20 years have focused on helping farmers rather than attracting customers.
Anyway，on September 7，2022，the US approved the purple tomatoes，which is the first time it has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.

Manage your debt. （1）If you have credit card debt，pay this down before you start doing any other savings.If you have several cards with debt，try the laddering technique.Start by paying down your debt on the highest interest card you have.Once that balance is at zero，go to the next highest percent card and so on.
（2）Life can throw at you unexpected expenses that can easily add up quickly.One of your main savings goals should be to build an emergency fund.You should have ready-to-go-in liquid cash，6-9 months of living expenses for a rainy day.（3）But don't invest the money.Make sure you can access this money in an absolute emergency.
Spend your cash.Seems crazy but it's true!This is especially helpful to those who tend to be impulsive （沖動的） shoppers.Figure out your monthly budget，and divide it by 4.Add this amount to your wallet each week and only spend the cash. （4）Studies have shown that you are less likely to break large bills or to spend less cash when you have to physically pull the cash out.
Keep your extra cash in a high yield savings account.Though it's rare to find a bank that provides a large interest rate on savings，right now you can get 0.5% and 0.1 to 0.25% on checking. （5）
A.Get an emergency fund.
B.Avoid unnecessary expenses.
C.Don't touch the credit cards.
D.You must make this a priority.
E.But remember to check it from time to time.
F.It's a great way to add a little extra income to your money.
G.This amount should be kept in your high-yield savings account.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 14:0:1組卷：4引用：4難度：0.5727．There is an important equation of well-being：happiness equals reality minus expectations.If you （1）
