The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its finding on the safety of cloned animals.

The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult animals are safe to eat. They called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day.” And when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring(后代)are safe to eat as well.

The United States this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. First，however，the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. The agency says it must receive comments by April 2nd. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory committee called for more research.

For now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they do not sell foods from cloned animals.

Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce. The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.

Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public know little about cloning. Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so­called donor animal is grown into an embryo(胚胎)in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宫)of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches its full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.

1. From the passage, we know ________.

A. the US government is very cautious about the safety of cloned foods

B. foods from cloned animals are popular in America

C. cloned animals will be easy to produce

D. most foods from cloning are expected to come from clones themselves

2.Who believes that foods from cloning are safe to eat?

A. Most Americans. B. An advisory committee.

C. Critics. D. The F.D.A. .

3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.

A. cloning has much in common with genetic engineering

B. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy

C. the donor animal should be a female one

D. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones

4. Whether the sale of cloned foods is allowed in the US depends on ________.

A. cloning technology

B. the advisory committee’s research

C. public comments

D. the documents of the F.D.A.

阅读填空（共1小题）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据短文的内容要点完成文章后的表格列单。

注意：补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求，每空只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch．Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you．Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by．Friendship doubles your joy and divides your grief．A friendship is priceless and should be cultivated．

●Remembering the golden rule

Without a doubt, the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated．When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship, you'll be blessed in untold ways．

You can't know what has gone on in the rude person's life that day, but you can assume that his or her day hasn't gone well．Maybe a loved one lost his job, her boss reprimanded her unjustly, he's coming down with the flu, or she just found out that her teenager is taking drugs．

Whatever the cause of the rudeness, you don't have to accentuate(突出) the problem．A kind word or a gentle, understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would．

● Considering foes as friends

A friend looks after your own good．On the other hand, a foe is someone who isn't interested in your well-being．

Yet some students view their teachers as enemies．However, a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom．Instead of being an enemy, a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had．

This kind of thinking, along with a little attitude adjustment, helps you to convert foes to friends, and both of you are better off．

● Making friends by being an optimist

Do you enjoy being around a pessimist, someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it? The answer is obvious．Most people prefer to be around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today, rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday．

● Capturing the pleasing personality

How do you develop a pleasing personality? Here are some steps you can take:

Smile when you see someone．You don't have to give a wide grin — just a pleasant, friendly smile．

Speak in a pleasant, upbeat tone of voice．Talk to people as if they are good friends, even if they don't really fall into that category yet．

Take a course in public speaking．The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention from many sources．

Develop a sense of humor．Pick up a couple of joke books．This makes you a little more outgoing and friendly．

● Don't criticize unjustly

Instead of being eager to dish out criticism all the time, take the humane and sensible approach．Look for the good in others．Encourage them．Build them up．

Most people seldom think through each situation completely and consider the other person's point of view．If you take the time and effort to do this, you'll end up befriending more people．

I am sure we’ve all come across inspiring quotes that made us nod in agreement or made us think, “Wow, that’s good quote”．But we end up going back to procrastinating (拖延) on whatever it was we were procrastinating on．So are these inspirational quotes even worth reading? Well, that depends.

Quotes, books, articles, audio programs… all of these things are just tools and they’re only effective when you use them．I don’t know about you but most quotes I read don’t do anything for me．However, every now and then, I will come across one that will positively affect me in some way such as reminding me to be grateful, getting me to work out extra hard at the gym without being pressed by my wife, or never give up when things get tough.

From my experience, reading quotes is more effective when you’re actually trying to motivate yourself rather than just reading them for the sake of reading them．The second you feel the urge to take action, you’d better immediately get up off your chair and take action.

These quotes aren’t for everyone．If you have read tons of them and have never been motivated or had a positive change in the way you look at life or how you treat others, or these quotes don’t help you to insist on doing something when you feel like giving up on it, then it’s probably not worth your time reading more of them．If you have done something a bunch of times and it’s not giving you the results you want, don’t keep doing it．Try something else.

Now if you’ve found some value in reading these quotes in the past, continue to make them more effective by letting them guide your life.

I’ll end this text with one of my favorite quotes, which reminds me to constantly examine my habits．“We are what we repeatedly do．Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”---- Aristotle

A．those who read them carefully
