Although the reasons for moonlighting for men and women are similar, each group varies in their particular choice of reasons. Both sexes most often cite meeting regular expenses and enjoying their work as their priority for moonlighting. Nevertheless, larger proportions of women than men hold second jobs to make a special purchase or to help friends. A smaller proportion moonlights to save for the future.
An additional study in American of moonlighters working in five plants in two industries found insignificant differences between moonlighters and non-moonlighters in terms of marital happiness. However, on four of seven measures of self-esteem, moonlighters scored higher than those who worked on the only. Moonlighters were also more active participants in voluntary organization than their counterparts.
We can conclude from the research that most people moonlight because they ……
a.want to buy an expensive car
b.like to work in different situations
c.need to pay for food and housing
d.can save money for their retirement ตอบ b

Most likely your turn-of-the-century dinner will look the same as it does now. But scratch below the surface and you will find a wealth of hidden changes. Right now, in food-technology labs around the country, researchers are tinkering with foods we’ve been eating for years. With test-tube breeding techniques they are creating improved fruits and vegetables. They are combining ingredients in novel ways to develop harmless forms of fats. They are designing edible food packaging to extend shelf life of perishable goods.
Such advances are not so far away from your local supermarket. Consider the feat of the DNA Plant Technology Corporation (DNAP) in New Hersey. In 1986 DNAP started test marketing VegiSnax—brand name celery and carrots that have been washed, peeled, sliced, and packaged. The designed celery is les stringy than what consumers are accustomed to, the carrots crunchier and juicier. The technique used to produce these new age vegetables is called somaclonal variation.
As scientist at DNAP and at the nation’s 150-odd food biotech firms work to tailor fruits and vegetables, John Krocht
