2. What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the UN declared it "The World Year
of Physics". It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein's theory of relativity and the 50th
anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the
history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to
his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority.
It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.

artists. They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.

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.

history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to
his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority.
It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.

6. Tom was born a cripple, with one of his lower limbs useless. Early in his childhood,
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

Medical experts debated whether the cloning of human beings should be permitted and
what its potential effects on society might be
2)eighty-five percent of the people in the local area in full-time employment ;only 3% describe

standpoint
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.
