22、r-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria (衡量标准 )in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. “The sa
23、fety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime But when college officials always gave the same answer -“Thats not a problem here,”-Mahone
24、y began to feel uneasy. “No crime whatever ” comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,”
25、says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.” But getting accurate information isnt easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字 ) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity（关注） , leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The tru

30、lies 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
31、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 di
32、e 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 sin
33、gle 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 techniques success rate. Although
34、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 devel
35、oping 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. 【小题 1】 The best title of this passage probably is _.
