                                                         Make the most of college
Dear Daughter,
     As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on
my mind.
     First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament of
what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.
     Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will
discover what learning is about. This will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to
master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously,
and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the learning skills you acquire will be
something you will cherish forever.
     Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped by
what others think or say, but make up your own mind.
     Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick
a few friends and become really close to them - pick the ones who are genuine to you. Don't
worry about their hobbies, grades, looks or even personalities.
     Start planning early - what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would
you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you
want to be, and get onto the right courses.
     Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your
time, you should take control of your life. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for
you to be in the driver's seat - this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels
great. Try it, and you'll love it!
     College is the four years where you have:
     The greatest amount of free time
     the first chance to be independent
     the most flexibility(灵活性)to change
     the lowest risk for making mistakes
     So please treasure your college years - make the best of your free time, become an independent
thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes
and challenges.
     May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life, and may you blossom into just what
you dream to be.
                                                                                                                             Love,
                                                                                                                 Dad (&Mom)

I’m sure many of you have seen Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning. Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you don’t know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole. I think human cloning is wrong mainly for four reasons.
What about identity? Humans are promised the right to their own personalities. What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone else’s genetic identity? True, Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identities.
Also, these is a large power struggle here. Cloning means a degree of power and controls over another person’s physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personalities. The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.
Cloning would also deal with killing embryos (胚胎). You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. The rest died or were thrown away. Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort
Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died. There is a very high failure rate, which is shown in the cloning of Dolly. Even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.
So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no. the risks are greater than the benefits. It’s dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. We would be killing human lives in the process. It would also be a violation(侵害) of the clone’s right to its own genetic identity and personality.
【小题1】The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for ______ reasons.

A.4B.3C. 2D.5
【小题2】According to the article, what is the author’s opinion about identity?
A.Cloning itself gives parents great power over identity.
B.People’s identity is completely determined by their genes.
C.Government has the rights to confirm people’s identities.
D.Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identities.
【小题3】According to Paragraph 4 ,which is right ?      ____.
A.human cloning is much more difficult than animal cloning
B.there are 200 sheep successfully cloned.
C.cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort
D.numbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloning
【小题4】Why does the author mention some movies in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic of the article.
B.To present his idea about the movies.
C.To state the conclusion first.
D.To make the article unusual.
【小题5】 What is the best title of the passage?
A.What Is Human Cloning
B.Human Cloning Is Wrong
C.How Does Human Cloning Happen
D.Discussion On Human Cloning
