11、fe to eat as the food we eat every day.” And when those clones reproduce sexually（有性繁殖）, the agency says, their offspring（后代）are safe to eat as well.The United States this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. First，however，the public will have ninety da

12、ys to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. The agency says it must receive comments by April 2nd. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory committee called for

13、 more research.For now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they do not sell foods from cloned animals.Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce. The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from

14、 their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public know little about cloning. Cloning dif

15、fers from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a socalled donor animal is grown into an embryo（胚胎）in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus（子宫）of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches its full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.21

Im clear that Im never going to catch up with Mother

19、Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and

20、a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher （灭火器） to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, its up to us.Im single and have no kids. Ive flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kid

21、s. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but its the little things that make a difference.Were not robots. Its hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isnt. Ive seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together （take control

22、 of their feelings and behave in a calm way）. At the end of a 14-hour flight, its like, “It was really nice to help you, but Im ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You cant wait to turn off the flight attendants voice and get somethi

23、ng to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you say thank you, its huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. Were up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle （奇迹） of the modern flig

Flight attendants need to rest now and then.CWhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, t

27、his is often not the case.This problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .The smartest dont want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole projec

28、t themselves.And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better; they are screwed（束缚）. A smart person who cant stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself.

29、 Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some slackers（偷懒的人） are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people.

31、onalds complex, but in fact, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that cant be screwed up by their average employees. So, being smart or talented isnt going to help you unless you can use your talent to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they
