A clone is an exact copy of another animal or plant. Scientists have cloned a sheep which they have named Dolly. Researchers took genes from a ewe (母羊) and used them to create a copy (Dolly) of the ewe.Why are scientists doing this research? One reason is to get information about genes so they can improve our health. They also want to learn how better farm animals can be produced. Cloning is a controversial issue for people. Some people think it is good because this research can help us, but other people think cloning is unacceptable. Some people think it might be possible to save endangered animals by cloning them. Tigers, elephants, and other endangered animals might be saved in this way. In China, pandas are endangered because they are hunted and they are losing their habitat, so some Chinese scientists want to try to clone pandas to save them from extinction.I dont really like the idea of cloning animals, but I dont think I want panda to bee extinct. If the best way to save them is to make cloned pandas, they must be cloned. I want to live with a lot of animals and nature. I dont want animals to die out, especially pandas. I think humans must think more about protecting animals and nature. Maybe cloning is the way to save all endangered animals. 24. What is Dolly like?A.

C Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day? If so, you would be considered an “early bird”. Perhaps, though, you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until the afternoon. If thats the case, youre probably a “night owl”. Most of us fall into one of these two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions. Traditionally, early risers have been praised as hard-working. On the other hand, those who prefer to sleep in and get up late are considered lazy. But even in the 21st century, most people still believe the early bird catches the worm. Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus longer and produce more than early risers. Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines (常规). After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert. However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase of energy from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time. Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics (遗传学) may play the biggest role. It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if youre happy rising early or staying up late, youre probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.28.

What did the researchers find in a Belgian study?A.Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours.B.Late risers bee sleepier than early risers.C.Early risers bee as focused as late risers.D.Late risers can think quickly after being awake for 10 hours.31. According to the passage, which of the following has (have) the most influence on ones sleep habits?A.Genetic elements.B.Lifestyle and activities.C.Living environment.D.Childhood routines.DWalking is so simple and convenient that it couldnt possibly count as exercise, right?
