　　Every year, thousands of young Europeans set off to explore their continent by train in the summer time. It is a necessary part of growing up and often the first time many Europeans travel without their parents. Now you too can share this adventure.

　　There are so many places you cannot afford to miss while traveling in Europe: the Eiffel Tower of France, windmills of the Netherlands and the Colosseum of Rome. How do young people afford to visit everything they want? The answer lies with the Eurail Pass. This ticket allows a traveler unlimited journeys by rail in European countries which are members of the scheme. Ambitious Chinese travelers can buy the ticket in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

　　The most popular type of Eurail Pass among young people, according to Zhao Jiaji, from China Air Service Ltd. , is the Eurail Selectpasses. With this you can design your own trip by selecting three, four or five neighbouring countries from a total 18 nations including Liechtenstein, Monaco, Hungary and Romania.

　　“There is plenty of choice with this pass: in total this range offers over 400 different combinations of countries to choose from!” said Zhao. The Eurail Selectpass gives 5 to 10 travel days within a 2-month period. For more flexibility there are the Eurail Passes which allow you to take trains in 17 countries on any day you like. It is valid on a continuous basis for a period of either 15 or 21 days, one, two or three months. If you just want to travel in one of two countries to learn more about the local culture, Eurail Pass also offers two-country passes such as Spain-Portugal, France-Switzerland and Belgium-Luxemburg. And countries like Britain, France and Germany offer a kind of Eurail Pass which allows unlimited train travel in their country.

　　Before buying the Eurail Pass, you should know some tips to save money. The 2nd class train travel ticket is cheaper than 1st class. And youths under 26 years old or groups of 2 or more people traveling together can enjoy discounts. For more information, please check out http://www.tt-europe.com.

　　A UFO cult said on Saturday the world's second cloned(克隆)baby had been born to a Dutch woman but cloning experts swiftly dismissed the claim as a baseless stunt. (花招)

　　“A baby girl was born yesterday evening. The baby is healthy and the mother, too. ”Bart Overvliet, head of the Raelian movement's Dutch branch, told Reuters by telephone.

　　The woman was now in the Netherlands with her partner, he said, although he did not know where the birth had actually taken place, or even if it had been in the Netherlands itself.

　　The birth resulted from a procedure by Clonaid, the cloning firm that said it had organized the birth of the first human clone, named Eve, to a 31-year-old American on Tuesday, December 26.

　　But Harry Griffin, head of Britain's Roslin Institute which cloned the fist adult mammal, Dolly the sheep, in 1996, said the group had provided no proof that two cloned babies existed.

　　“There is no mason to believe this is anything other than a long drawn-out publicity stunt, ”he told Reuters.

　　Colnaid's claims have led to widespread doubt among mainstream scientific experts and the company has not yet to provide DNA samples or other evidence to support its claim.

　　Severino Antinori, an Italian fertility doctor involved in separate human cloning projects, said he thought the report of the record clone's birth was as fake as the first.

　　“This news makes me laugh. It's a mystery to me how anybody could believe these people who have no scientific track record. It is an absolute lie. ”He told Reuters.
