But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals , the responses were split(分裂 ) almost down the middle . Of the 228 readers who answered it ,108
17、would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion . Clearly, from readers response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual (最终的 )sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to peoples widely differing expectations over the developing scie
18、ntific procedure (步骤 ) Most of the readers who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope that clone could truly recreate a pet; many simply d
19、id not wish to go against the natural law of life and death. Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More of them owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend” or “a member of the family”. They told moving stories of pets heroism, intelligence an
20、d selfless devotion. No wonder the loss is so disturbing-and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever
21、Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death awayIts understandable. Death is always painful. Its difficult to deal with. Its hard to accept.” But would cloning reduce the blow This question seems to be at the heart of this problem. 【小题 1】 As far as the cloning of pets is concern
22、ed, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, . A a lot more of them are for it B a lot more of them are against it C very few of them are willing to tell their opinions D about half of them are for it and the other half against it 【小题 2】 The expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet.” (in p

My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the presid
26、ent.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done. Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answ
27、er to me was, “Thats irrelevant (无关的 ). Whats important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge (诀窍 ), and I have come to some conclusions all relevant to the problem of how much time we have. If you analyze the matter, you can identi
28、fy two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, its not how hard one works but the quality of the product thats important. That led me to a new idea: the qual
29、ity of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office: “Dont work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea. If you cant get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means think
30、ing of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”. Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those
31、 skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies. 【小题 1】 From the passage, we know that the author is probably _ . A a poet B an educator C a novelist D an engineer 【小题 2】 We can infer fr

B The aut

D Youll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if youre a clever student 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 B 14 days from just 2,090 pp Fully inclusiv

Fish diet to avoid being beaten up, thrown out of their social group, and getting eaten as a result. That is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish beha
45、vior by a team of Australian scientists. The research team has discovered that subordinate (隶属的 )fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. “In studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding(繁殖 ) rights within the group, ”e
46、xplains Marian Wong. “All other group members are non-breeding females, each being 510% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they keep this size separation.” The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 510% of the size of
47、 its larger competitor， it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the evicted fish is then eaten up. It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so
48、voluntarily， by limiting how much they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise， the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered， clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feast. The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss
