was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people，let alone long-ranged developmentsEssential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking pointRents were tightly controlled，but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of foodFood costs took as much as 80 percent of the workersincomeWages，it is true，had risenExtensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state，and there was full-time and overtime employmentTaken together，these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of securityIn this precarious（不稳定的）and discouraging situation，workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages The government was reluctant to let workers leave the countryIt was feared this immigration of workers would deplete the labor forceThe lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products producedQualified workers employed abroad would

to making clonesFor ten years，scientists have been cloning sheep and cows from embryo（胚胎）cellsBut so far Dolly is the only animal cloned from an adult cell，not from an embryo She is living proof that scientists have solved one of the most challenging problems of cell biology The question now is how soon will scientists clone humansNature，the scientific journal that published the Dolly paper，commented，Cloning humans from adults tissues is likely to be achievable any time from one to ten years from nowMost scientists agree there is no insurmountable obstacle in human cloningBut a human clone，even though it might resemble the individual from whom it was made，would differ dramatically in personality and character，intelligence and talentsYou will never get 100 percent identity，says psychologist Jerome Kagan of Harvard，because of chance factors and because environments are never exactly the same That，however，is small comfort to many peopleShortly after Dollys birth announcement，President Clinton ordered a group of experts to come up with proposals for government actionWith the cloning of humans within reach，whether it is to be banned or regulated is now on the nations moral agenda（议事日程） Some regard the cloning of humans as inherently evil，a morally unjustifiable intrusion into human lifeThey measure the morality of any act by the intention behind it；still

exerciseThe moment I find myself turning away from a job， or putting it under a pile of things I have to do， I clear my desk of everything else and attach the objectionable item firstTo prevent start-up fatigue，always treat the most difficult job first Performance fatigue is more difficult to handleHere we are willing to get started，but we cant seem to do the job rightIts difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work，we fail again and againThe mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigueIn such a situation，I work as hard as
