When a Massachusetts biotech company recently declared that its researchers had cloned human embryos, it conjured up scary images for many people: bad science-fiction movies, Hitler’s twisted ambitions, rows and rows of identical humans.
But, like most things in life, the truth is a lot more complicated, more subtle.
The announcement drew a storm of criticism. Ethicists, religious leaders and US President Bush denounced Advanced Cell Technology for going too far. Scientists charged that the experiment was hyped and called it a failure.
The news put a spotlight on the field of cloning, from work with animals to researchers’ efforts to use cloning to create tissues for people suffering from debilitating and fatal diseases.
At its most basic level, cloning means creating copies, and in many ways, cloning has been around a long time. When someone cuts a shoot off a green spider plant and re-p

When the Dow rockets 300 points or the stocks of retailers, say, get decimated, I devour the news. Here’s my admission: I’m a buy-and-hold investor, and a lazy one at that. My employer prohibits us news folks to trade equities on a short-term basis, but even if it didn’t, I’d still buy and hold.
The bulk of my portfolio is in two retirement accounts, and neither stock-market gyrations nor major financial earthquakes prompt me to tweak my allocations. I simply hold a fairly routine mix of low-cost U.S. and international-stock mutual funds, plus a bond fund, and I stick to it.
Sure, the markets get volatile but I figure that, eventually, average historical returns will work in my favor. And, to my mind, stock-market trading, if you’re not spending many hours a week working on it, is little more tha
A. Because his employer prohibits him to trade equities on a short-term basis.
B. Because he believes that long-term return will balance out short-term fluctuation.
C. Because he is misguided by the loyalty to the idea of "buy and hold."
D. Because he is an active investor and keeps an eye on stock markets every day.

When imaginative men turn their eyes towards space and wonder whether life exists in any part of it, they may cheer themselves by remembering that life need not resemble closely the life that exists on Earth. Mars looks like the only planet where life like ours could exist, and even this is doubtful. But there may be other kinds of life based on other kinds of chemistry, and they may multiply on Venus or Jupiter. At least we cannot prove at present that they do not.
Even more interesting is the possibility that life on their planets may be in a more advanced stage of evolution. Present-day man is in a peculiar and probably temporary stage. His individual units retain a strong sense of personality. They are, in fact, still capable under favorable circumstances of leading individual lives. But man’s societies are already sufficiently developed to have enormously more power and effectiveness
than the individu
A. their existence as free and separate beings
B. their capability of living under favorable conditions
C. their great power and effectiveness
D. their strong desire for living in a close-knit society

What happens when human beings are deprived of sleep for long periods of time To answer this question, a New Yorker, Peter Tripp, offered to stay awake 200 hours. During that time Tripp was observed by a group of doctors, who reported on his progress.
After three days of staying awake, he began to show signs of mental breakdown. He laughed at things that were not funny, and wept at things that were not sad. Complaining of pressure caused by a hat on his head, he tried repeatedly to take it off. Tripp, of course, was not wearing a hat.
On the fifth day he cried out that a doctor’s jacket looked like crawling worms. Then he imagined he was in another city; he tried to run away from the building, insisting it was on fire; and he thought the 200-hour mark had been passed but that doctors were "suffering from mental illness." He was
nearly mad!

A. showed mental disorder
B. saw imaginary worms
C. was unable to stand
