To teach kids Chinese arts.BHuman Cloning(克隆) is WrongIm sure many of you have seen Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Multiplicity, or

11、many of the other movies that describe cloning. Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you dont know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole. Its immoral to have a human clone.What about identity(身份)? Humans are promised the right to their own pers

12、onality. What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone elses genetic identity? True, personality is not fixed in someones genes(基因), but the clone would share any physical appearance or genetic fault of the cloned.Also, there is large power struggle here. Cloning means a degree

13、of power and control over another persons physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personality. The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.Cloning would also deal with killing embryos(胚胎). You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that wa

14、s cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. The rest died or were thrown away. Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. More than 200 embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of just one embry

15、o that would have the same DNA as some one else.Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died. There is very high failure rate, which is shown in the cloning of Dolly. Even if you had a f

16、ew good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no. The risks are greater than the benefits. Its dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. We would be killing human lives in the process. It would also be a violation(侵害) of

17、the clones right to its own genetic identity and personality.5The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for _ reasons. A2 B3C4 D56According to the article, what is the authors opinion about identity? ACloning itself gives parents great power over identity.BPeoples identity is completely determ

18、ined by their genes. CGovernment have the rights to confirm peoples identities. DCloning may prevent people from possessing their identities.7From Paragraph 4 we can infer that _. Ahuman cloning is much difficult than animal cloning BDolly is the most successful one among 200 sheep embryos Ccloning

19、means running the risk of wasting too much effort Dnumbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloningC The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the America

20、n Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writers life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She st

21、arted writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but

22、she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as “Would you really marry a woman who works?” And today itd be “Would you marry one who doesnt?”The Margaret Mitchell House is a buil

23、ding that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an i

24、njury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book.

28、ant people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, dont know them as well their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very i

29、mportant for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone.
