Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning has now become a reality. The possibility of cloning humans is a serious issue(爭論點(diǎn)) and raises ethical(倫理的) questions. In my opinion, cloning is useful for research into cures for disease. However, I think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments.

Research into cloning and stem(嚴(yán)格的) cell production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incurable illnesses. While this would improve the quality of life for many, not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future. This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the results of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that it is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world. Furthermore, it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications(并發(fā)癥) resulting from malformed(畸形) organs .

There are also serious ethical issues in danger. In essence(在本質(zhì)上), those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere(干擾)with natural processes. Producing embryos for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced. It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life.

In conclusion, I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue. This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life, but also because not enough is known about the effects. However, I do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk, then governments should continue to support it.

A. It is useful in every area of research.

B. It needs to be carefully controlled by governments.

A. not enough is known about the effects of cloning

B. a cloned human would be likely to die of malformed organs

C. cloning has negative physical and psychological effects on clones

D. it would affect the quality of life for many

4.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks governments should______

Your Teen Is Falling Asleep in Class

Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time. This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school. 1.

When a teen falls asleep in class, two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect of the teacher. He/She may also receive a consequence (后果) from the school, depending on the classroom discipline (紀(jì)律) policy. 2.

To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class, try these three tips:

*Set a time for “l(fā)ights out” on school nights. This is never be any later than 10 p.m. and preferably 9 p.m. 3. Soft music can be on and used to help calm your teen.

*Help your teen develop a night?time routine (常規(guī)) that involves(牽涉) activities that slow them down for the end of the day. 4. Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.

* 5. This will reinforce (增強(qiáng)) what it feels like to be rested and capable (有能力)of achieving what he/she wants.

A. What's worse, they may even fall asleep in class.

B. Taking a bath and reading are two activities that work well.

C. Set a good example and show him/her your love for learning.

D. Point out the positives after your teen has had a good night's rest.

E. “Lights out” means the computer, television, lights and cell phone should be off.

F. All of these things affect your teen's academic(學(xué)術(shù)) success and can be avoided(避免).

G. While your teen keeps his/her goals(目標(biāo)) in line with(與……一致) your expectations, he/she may have his/her own goals.

Organizing Your Time

You can set a budget(預(yù)算) for your time just as you can set a budget for your money. Since you’re trying to reduce worry rather than increase it,go into this process with a focus on maximizing(使…最大化)your personal time,rather than cramming(塞滿) as much as you can into each day.

●  Set a sleep schedule(時(shí)間表).1.Give yourself a one-hour target(目標(biāo)) window for bedtime in the evening,and set a strict time to get up in the morning.Be sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need.2.

●Take care of tasks at the same time every day. Plan time for daily health care, commuting(乘公交下上班), work, shopping, eating, and chores(家務(wù)). Add in time for anything else you do most days, such as homework, exercise, or an active hobby.3.All the time left over is your free time, to use for relaxation or whatever else you want.

● 4.For example,you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip.

For many people, an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult.5.

A. However, you can still plan to work around your schedule in the same order every day.

B. Stick to it,even on weekends.

C. Try to combine trips outside the home to maximize(最大化)your free time.

D. Different days call for different approaches.

E. Therefore, you won’t lay down and start worrying about whether or not you’ll fall asleep on time.

F. Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing until the rest of your thoughts become quiet.

G. Put them in a specific order that works for you.

What is body language? Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of spoken language or other communication. Body language also includes many movements that most people pay no attention to, such as winking(眨眼)and slight movements of the eyebrows and other facial expressions.
