Critics of cloning often repeat the question related to the controversial(有争议的) science “Just because we can, does it mean we should?”  The closer we come to being able to clone a human, the hotter the debate over it grows. For all the good things cloning may achieve, opponents say that it will do just as much harm. Another question is how to governing cloning process.
There is federal official law banning cloning in the United States, but several states have passed their own laws to ban the practice. The US Food and Drugs Administration(FDA), has also said that anyone in the United States attempting human cloning must first get its permission. In Japan, human cloning is a crime that is punished by up to 10 years in prison.
While laws are to ban cloning at this time, some scientists believe that the technology is not ready to be tested on humans. Ian Wilmut, one of the co-creators of Dolly, has even said that human cloning projects would be an irresponsible crime. Cloning technology is still in its early stages, and nearly 98% percent of cloning efforts end in failure. The embryos are either not suitable for implanting into the uterus(子宫) or they die shortly after birth.
The clones that do survive end up suffering from deadly or problematic genetic abnormalities(畸形). Some clones have been born with faulty heart, lung problems and blood vessel problems. One of the most famous cases was a cloned sheep that was born with but malformed arteries(畸形动脉) leading to the lungs.
Opponents of cloning will point out that we can enthanize(安乐死) these faulty clones of other animals, but they ask what if a human clone is born with these same problems. Advocates of cloning respond that it is now easier to pick out faulty embryos even before they are implanted into the mother. The debate over human cloning is just beginning, but as science advances, it could be the biggest moral dilemma of the 21st century.

A relationship is defined as a state of connectedness between people.Although in today’s society with its crazy rhythm of everyday life, when people tend to live in thickly populated cities, spending most of their time in the office and hardly knowing their neighbors name, we still find ourselves in some kinds of relationships—with friends, family, or colleagues.

Family relationships are the first relationships people enter.Parents and relatives influence our emotional development by creating a model that we are sometimes bound to follow all our lives, often subconsciously.In day-care, at school, then in the office we spend a lot of time among fellow students and co-workers.We learn to keep business relationships, to work in a team environment, then form smaller groups of like-minded people and finally select some of them as our friends.

What is a true friendship? How does it start? Are we destined to become friends with certain people or can we actually plan whom to be friends with?

"Everybody's friend is nobody's”, said Arthur Schopenhauer.Unlike a companionship based on belonging to the same team or group, friendship is a very personal and selective type of relationship.It calls for trust, sincerity, and emotional bonds.

Sociologists believe that most people are looking for similarities in views, social status, and interests when choosing friends.No wonder that our friends are often people of the same age, sex, and education.Another important factor is joint activity and solidarity.This is the reason why many of us befriend our colleagues and other people who work in the same field.

Most people would agree that a friend is someone who always listens and understands. Understanding in this context implies a lot of meanings—ompassion, sympathy, and emotional closeness. It's a process in which your friend reads your emotional state, shares your feelings, identifies himself or herself with you.

1.What is the first relationship that people often enter, according to the author?

  A.Friendship.           B.Companionship.

  C.Family relationship.                D.Customer relationship.

2.How do we understand “Everybody's friend is nobody's” by Arthur Schopenhauer?

  A.Try to be everybody's friend.           B.Try to be somebody's friend.

  C.Not to be everybody's friend.           D.Not to be somebody's friend.

3.The important reason why many of us befriend our colleagues is ___   _.

  A.the same age            B.the same sex

  C.the same education                 D.joint activity and solidarity
