31、ry. But if youve ever been pregnant yourself, one thing is certain: You wonder what its like to carry a test-tube baby. Are these pregnancies normal? Are the babies normal? The earliest answers come from Australia, where a group of medical experts at the Queen Victoria Medical Center in Melbourne ha
32、ve taken a look at the continents first nine successful invitro pregnancies. The Australians report that the pregnancies themselves seemed to have proceeded according to plan, but at birth some unusual trends did show up. Seven of the nine babies turned out to be girls. Six of the nine were delivere
33、d by Caesarean section. And one baby, a twin, was born with a serious heart defect and a few days later developed life-threatening problems. What does it all mean? Even the doctors dont know for sure, because the numbers are so small. The proportion of girls to boys is high, but until there are many
34、 more test-tube babies no one will know whether thats something that just happened to be like that or something special that happens when egg meets sperm in a test tube instead of a fallopian tube. The same thing is true of the single heart defect. It usually shows up in only 15 out of 60,000 births
35、 in that part of Australia, but the fact that it occurred in one out of nine test-tube babies does not necessarily mean that they are at special risk. One thing the doctors can explain is the high number of Caesareans. Most of the mothers were older, had long histories of fertility problems and in s
36、ome cases had had surgery on the fallopian tubes, all of which made them likely candidates for Caesareans anyway. The Australian researchers report that they are quite encouraged. All the babies are now making normal progress, even the twin with the birth defects. （分数：1.00）(1).What concern will the
37、test-tube baby raise according to the passage?（分数：0.20）A.Whether the pregnancies of test-tube babies would be normal.B.Whether the test-tube babies would be encouraged.C.Why the proportion of defected babies is so high.D.Why the number of Caesareans is so high.(2).What does the word “invitro“ in Par

41、 sales were steady and operating profit surged. Earnings before interest and tax, a measure of operating income, gained 86 percent to 141 million as fuel costs fell and cargo traffic rose.
