Almost 80% of the Americans have stated their opposition to cloning pet animals such as cats and dogs, yet companies still try to make a business out of selling cloned pets. Pet cloning has been promoted as a way to “bring back” or “copy” a beloved companion animal. However, studies have shown that cloning remains an experimental technology with many failures.

Behind each lovely picture of a cloned cat or dog lie hundreds of animals that were kept in lab cages, receiving bad treatment to produce just that one cloned animal. For all that, you end up with a cloned animal who is unlikely to appear like the original physically or behaviorally and may experience serious health problems. Also, while pet cloning companies are charging customers up to $150,000 for a cloned pet, millions of homeless animals of the same species are available in US animal shelters for around $100. Unfortunately, most of these animals are killed for lack of adopting homes.

With No Pet Cloning campaign, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) tries to protect both animals and people from harm. They campaigned until the US companies that sold cloned animals closed their doors. First it was Genetic Savings & Clone Inc. and then it was BioArts International.

When BioArts was closed, its owner, Lou Hawthorne, finally had to acknowledge the problems of pet cloning. According to Hawthorne, he has seen numerous failures during his pet cloning attempts, “One clone----which was supposed to be black and white----was born greenish-yellow where it should have been white (we still have no good explanation for how that happened).”

The AAVS is educating the public about the animal suffering and is seeking regulation of cloning activities. They will continue to take the lead in protecting animals from the threats of pet cloning.

C. To compare pet animals with homeless ones.

D. To save the animals kept in labs and shelters.

4.The underlined word “acknowledge” probably means ____.

When building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.

Houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.

People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy saving.

House building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.

1.What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?

A.The climate of their areas

B.The energy for their houses

C.The fashions for their houses

D.The building materials for their houses

2.People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.

A.Keeping their livestock downstairs

B.Protecting their livestock from the cold

C.Sharing their houses only with their cows

D.Living on the second floor with their livestock

3.The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.

A.Heat raises the temperature in the houses

B.Heat increases the temperature of rocks

C.Heat goes up if temperature is raised

D.Heat goes in the upward direction

4.From the passage, we can infer that __________.

A.People will no longer consider building materials in the future

B.Energy saving buildings will become more popular in the future

C.Almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks

D.Energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology.

This Monday,the nation will start to celebrate Presidents’ Day,just seven days before George Washington’s birthday.Everyone agrees that day is a holiday,but is it just to celebrate George Washington’s Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Presidents’ Day.Others say the holiday is officially Washington’s Birthday.Confused yet?

George Washington was elected the country’s first President on April 30,1789.Soon after,Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday.Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washington’s birth is February 11,1732.But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates,making Washington’s birthday February 22,which is now well accepted.In 1879.Congress made Washington’s birthday an official federal holiday.It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual’s birthday.In 1968,Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act,which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February.The new law did not change the holiday’s name.It was still called Washington’s Birthday,even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents’ Day to include Abraham Lincoln,whose actual birthday is February 12.

Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents.They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves.Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington.the country’s first President.They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.

Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term “George Washington’s Birthday.”but none of those laws have been passed.Meanwhile,many state governments and school districts now use the term “Presidents’ Day.”Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales.

Should the holiday honor Washington,Washington and Lincoln,or all past Presidents? Write to emailbag@timeforkids.com and tell us what you think.

When I got to the river, _saw the fire truck, ambulance and Eric, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting On a low platform of the fire engine.

I hurried over to him. "You OK?"I asked.

¨Yeah," was all he said. But my eyes begged for a(n) .I didn't get it from my son.

The was this: A woman was being under water. Hearing the cries, Eric and his friend Tyler, without ,swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.

In an age in which the word“ ”is broadcast with abandon(恣意地)and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day ,I realized the thing in my son. The teens are and self-centered, but that didn't they have no desire to do good.

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品).As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
