题目内容
In most places children are banned from working. But at a theme park in Japan, boys and girls can
fight fires, catch thieves and also perform the more boring tasks of making hamburgers and delivering
parcels.
Kidzania, in a shopping centre in Tokyo, is like a real town where children can act out their dreams
of future careers. The streets are lined with shops and even a bank. Everything inside is two-thirds normal
size to accommodate (容纳) the young workers. After their parents buy the ticket, children can try
several jobs.
Being a firefighter is a dream of many children. Children are being trained in the fire station of the town. Suddenly an alarm bell rings and they put on firefighter clothes before running towards the scene. The
scene is created with lighting and fake smoke, but for children it is real enough. "Sometimes it's too hard
for them," says the worker Ryoko Ishikura. "Some kids are in tears when they hear the alarm and the
fire breaks out. But even with tears in their eyes they go on running and fight the fire bravely."
The idea for Kidzania started in Mexico. It arrived in Japan three years ago and there are also parks in Chile, Indonesia and Portugal. Another one is opening soon in Dubai.
The children are rewarded for their efforts in "Kidzos", the theme park money. In most countries it is
quickly spent in shops and restaurants. But in Japan, children form long queues at the theme park's bank. "I'll keep it in the bank," said nine-year-old Noa Morita, who wants to be a fashion designer.

As if there weren’t enough of them in the world already, scientists have succeeded in cloning flies. The alike fruit flies are the first insects ever cloned, says the Canadian team that created them. The question everyone asks is why anyone would want to clone flies in the first place. She hopes that the insects , which are very easy to experiment with , will help to adjust the cloning process in other animals and even in humans, where the technique is being researched to aid production of therapeutic (治疗的) stem cells.
In cloning, the DNA-containing nucleus of an adult cell is injected into an egg whose own nucleus(细胞核) has been removed. At the moment, the majority of cloned mice, sheep and other animals die before birth. It is thought this is because the adult DNA is not properly ‘reprogrammed’.
Using flies, researchers might discover genes that are important for this reprogramming, and that have matches in other animals. That is because it is relatively easy in flies to knock out the function of a single gene and then attempt cloning with these cells, which will test whether that gene is important. If such genes are confirmed, then in theory cloned mammalian embryos(晶胚) might be grown in selected solutions that change the activity of those genes to improve the technique’s success rate. Although some groups have attempted to clone insects before, Lloyd says this is the first time it has been successful. The team used a slight difference on the standard cloning process: they transferred nuclei taken from embryos rather than fully-grown adult cells. They sucked several nuclei (pl)out of developing fly embryos, and injected them into a fertilized(已受精的) fly egg. From over 800 early attempts, they cloned five adult insects, the group reports in the journal Genetics.
