day, though, a spray of perfume (香水) went off in her head.

Her group had long donated (捐赠) money so that the 100 women in the jail could buy food and treats. Why not (4) give them fancy toiletries (化妆用品) too?

Paley and her crew of 35 women figured out the perfect way to get the goods: They asked friends to collect (5) hotel soaps, shampoos and lotions when they travel. Volunteers bundle them into goody bags and deliver (6) them to Riker's several times a year, including Christmas and Mother's Day.

\mini-donations make the women feel beautifu (7),\says Paley. \can see them turn themselves around a little bit.\

So, Paley continues, \vacation (8), take the soap and shampoos. Bring them to homeless shelters, battered women shelters or any organization in need (9). It's a small (10) act that may mean a great deal.\

It's been a long day and I'm glad to be back home and get the weight off my feet(1).

It's hard work and long hours, no time to linger in bed in the mornings,Yet, I've never regretted applying for (9) the job all those years ago. Supporting myself enables me to keen my dignity (10).

imagine how you would fill in 24 hours a day, every day, if you didn't have to work. There you go - off to the beach in summer, the movies in winter, watch T.V. on rainy days, go skating or horse riding, read a lot of books or magazines, sleep . . . But would you? Where would the money come from to pay your bus fares, to get into the movies, to buy your T.V. or to pay for the electricity, or buy your skates and books?

Let's say that money grew on trees, and that no-one had to worry about that \problem. Now you can do all those things... right? Probably not, because if no-one had to worry about earning money, then who would bother driving your bus to the beach - for that matter, who would bother building your bus, or making your movies, skates, books, etc.? Why would they have to?

What you'd probably end up doing would be spending most of your time out in the fields growing your own food, or looking after your cows for milk and meat, your sheep for clothing, growing bamboo for the walls of your humpy.

Why would you need to do this? Because no-one else would need to do it to earn money, because money grew on trees - right? Obviously, money in that sort of society doesn't really exist, and is of no value to the people...

In his interview, Samuel Wood discusses the issue of human cloning. It is, he freely admits, a contentious one. He personally does not approve of producing human clones for reproductive purposes, as he believes this has great potential to provide new means to fight disease. Nonetheless, there are those who condemn human cloning in this area also. Partly this stems from misconception about what is involved, but partly the opposition comes from differences in deeply held values. Wood names the Pope and President Bush as two notable opponents of his work. Wood’s own commitment to his research result from the promise he made to himself to look for a cure to the disease from which his mother died. It was a promise that was later to lead him to come forward in public as the first man to clone himself. This he did by transplanting one of his own cells into a clonated egg from which the genetic material had been removed

Since Dolly came into existence, scientists and politicians have been worrying about the prospect(1) that it will soon be possible to clone humans, too. The debate centers on two types of cloning: reproductive, with the intention (2) of_producing a baby, and therapeutic (治疗的), with the aim of creating a source of “embryonic” stem cells (干细胞) that might replace diseased organs of the body.

Cloning has both strong supporters and fierce critics. Despite(3) the deeply held moral and technological objections of many people, human cloning took a small step forward this week with an announcement by researchers that they had successfully created a human embryo through cloning,_for the purpose of developing(4) stem cells. They are not the first to lay claim to such a feat, but they are the first to publish (5) their findings. Their work was promptly condemned (6) by President George Bush, who said it was morally wrong, and by the Vatican, among (7)many others.

From a technical standpoint(8), such strong opposition seems out of line with the slender scientific significance of this development. The researchers used what has become standard(9) cloning method in animals. This is to remove the nucleus (核) containing genetic material from a donor egg, and replace it with the nucleus of another cell. The resulting stem cells would then be genetically identical to the donor, avoiding problems of rejection(10) when they are returned to the patient in treatment.
