he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations, he could not earn

a living, and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own, he could not win/gain the

respect of others. That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.

Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a

delivery boy for a Pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear

company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail

shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.

2. Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997. A

fierce debate on human cloning has ever since been going on. This contentious issue has

focused on ethical and social implications of the technology:what the technology might do to

the very meaning of human reproduction,child rearing, individuality, etc.

The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to reproductive cloning and support

14

therapeutic cloning for treating diseases. The reason is that therapeutic cloning does not involve

any type of relief of suffering in human beings. Scientists believe that with politics and

monitoring in place to ensure that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we can all benefit from this

procedure.

he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations, he could not earn

a living, and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own, he could not win/gain the

respect of others. That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.

Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a

delivery boy for a Pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear

company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail

shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.

cloning

Text A

Content questions

1. at his mother’s funeral, the writer swore that one day he’d do something about conditions

like hers

2. one night,the writer went out for dreinks with another gentleman whose father had died

of ALS. They talked about their parents then and wanted to do something as a legacy for

them. The stem cell research company Stemagen thus came into existence

3. they are concerned about the reproductive possibilities of cloning when Dolly was born

4. human reproductive cloning is ethically wrong because the majority of reproductive

clones in other species are actually abnormal,with very high miscarriage rates, very high

stillbirth rates, fetal anomalies, death soon after birth,etc.

5. the writer shows a positive attitude towards therapeutic cloning. He holds that

therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of rist to human life and actually provides

tremendous potential for the relief of suffering in human beings who are undergoing

some awful things.

6. the writer honestly thinks that someone will attempt human reproductive cloning and

there is no way to stop it

7. because by doing so, they could make cloning very real so that people around the world

12

know that cloning is coming along

8. their purpose in creating disease-specific stem cell lines is to study the causes of specific

diseases,and then research a variety of treatments for these diseases. If the stem cell lines

are created for any given individual and are later transplated back into the individual,

they will not be rejected by the individual.

9. the writer holds that in reality it is transcendent because when you look through the

microscope, you see what you may have looked like a long ago, at least in part

10. it brought teras to his eyes because the research was done for his mother,and he realized

that if she had only been able to live a few years longer, maybe they could have used this

technology to help her

11. in the process of analysis, the embroys were destroyed by necessity. In other words, to

get the genetic material from inside the cells to analyze it, they had to destroy the cell

12. because the writer thinks that logically, an embryo is not life, although it is a potential

life. The vast majority of embroys never become life—they just generate , don't implant

and die

2)eighty-five percent of the people in the local area in full-time employment ;only 3% describe

5). The global finanical crisis has had a huge impact on that country’s export industry. In no more

than six months,many factories have closed down by necessity.

2. Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997. A

fierce debate on human cloning has ever since been going on. This contentious issue has

focused on ethical and social implications of the technology:what the technology might do to

the very meaning of human reproduction,child rearing, individuality, etc.

The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to reproductive cloning and support

14

therapeutic cloning for treating diseases. The reason is that therapeutic cloning does not involve

any type of relief of suffering in human beings. Scientists believe that with politics and

monitoring in place to ensure that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we can all benefit from this

procedure.
