As we approach the 21st century,it is clearer than ever that science and technology are changging the way we live and work.The breakthroughs in bioengineering science are helping to reveal the mysteries of life,holding out new hope for lifesaving cures to some of our most dreaded diseases.
In 1997,the great news shocked the whole world that the British scientists created a lamb, named Dolly from a single cell.Miraculously,the cell had been taken from the under of an adult sheep,which marks the first time an adult animal had been successfully cloned.
But it soon caused worldwide concern over its ethical,social,and scientific implications.Cloning is especially controversial because it raises the prospect of“making”humans genetically idenfical to an existing man or woman.Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is untested and unsafe and morally unacceptable.
How to look upon this new technique?When it comes to a discovery like cloning,we must move with caution,care and deep concern about the impact of our actions.First,cloning should be greatly esteemed and great thanks should be given to its inventors.Meanwhile,great efforts should be made to place this technique under strict control.Especially we should adopt a document against human cloning since past experience tells us a new invention may cause troubles if it is misused.

Chocolate which hepls you lose weight by actually burning calories as you eat it ? It sounds wonderful.
But unfortunately , for anyone who spent £ 37 on a 40-day supply of Slim Choc, the idea is nothing more than daydream.
The product was one of a lot of “miracle cures” marketed to Britons which had no evidence to back up their grandiose(夸大的) claims, according to the Office of Fair Trading.
The OFT said that such tricks affect 200,000 of us a year, at a cost £ 20 million . Some 78 per cent of the victims(受害人)are female, but a large number of men are also taken in by “cures”for hair loss.
OFT Director of Consumer Protection Mike Haley said,“Miracle health tricks target people who are eager to lose weight or find a cure. The products are often worthless and can even be dangerous with untested and possibly harmful ingredients(成分)。”
The OFT yesterday warned consumers about the adverts for Slim-Choc, which were contained in junk mail sent to thousands of homes acorss Britain.
The company chaimed that eating the “slimming chocolate”could help users lose 20lbs in just 20 days, without exercising or cutting back on food.
The tricks claimed this was a “brand new revolutionary cure for the overweight”,and it was “the first and only cholcolate that burns off fat”. Thousands were persuaded to pay £ 37 for a 40-day supply.
Alice Tuff, of the Sense About Science charity, said :“The emotional and financial costs for the people who get drawn in can be huge and it is very important that we keep promoting public vigilance(警惕)in dealing with this serious problem.”

A.Chocolate And Health B.Dangerous Chocolate
