themselves and reproduce asexually.cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants, so their yield（产量）is more reliablecloned plants also reproduce faster, limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting. it is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods. plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available. with more yield at a faster rate, farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costscloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops. this would make plants immune（免疫的）to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year. crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past. also, plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning.through cloning scientists can develop “super” fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional quality. this could make for a healthier population overallthis is already being done through selective pollination（授粉）, and genetic cloning could take it to the next levelby plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases, but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survivewhile there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning, there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation（繁衍）of the human species34the underlined word “optimized” in paragraph 2 can be replaced

difficult to get out to the gym at lunchtime, a gymwould be good for the school. if morepeople went to the gym and did someexercise, theyd probably work better! bwhat id most like to have is a littlecafe, where we students can rest and do somereading. at the moment people have to stand in the passage, or even outside and theresnowhere to buy a drink or something, or readthe paper, so people
