However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help 【10】 harm us and where it is leading us.

For many well-educated travelers, buying a copy of Lonely Planet is the first task before taking a vacation abroad. Founded in 1973, Lonely Planet is the biggest guidebook series in many countries. It’s published in 11 languages including Chinese.

But when the BBC confirmed on March 19 that it had sold the entire Lonely Planet series to a US billionaire at a significant deficit(赤字), many commented that the deal sang the swan song for the printed guidebook.

The rise of the Internet and the prevalence of smartphones have become a burden on the print media. Why would travelers bring a heavy guidebook when they can download the apps to their smartphone in an instant? Furthermore, alternative and free travel content is readily available on the Internet, from Wikivoyage to TripAdvisor which provide excellent guidance on your trips.

But the Internet is not the only reason that guidebooks are in decline. It is also widely accepted that the physical guidebook has such complete content that can kill any sense of personal exploration. With the guide books, all those backpacker feet ended up following routine trade routes, and in those routes was little room for initiative.

It’s also pointed out that the guidebook is not exactly good for tourism. Often the shops and restaurants that thrived on a recommendation in the guidebook relaxed and discovered that it didn’t matter: the legions of eager travelers keep on coming anyway. They gradually become uncompetitive.

And yet, despite the rise of new media, it’s believed there is still a place for printed guidebooks, at least for the time being as books still offer readers the kind of feeling that virtual tools can’t provide, more of a compelling, touchable interaction.

Today, Mandatory(强制的) recycling is a hard sell in the United States, where the economy runs largely along free market lines and the current landfilling waste remains inexpensive and efficient.

Plain and simple, recycling still costs more than landfilling in most places. This fact, 【1】(couple) with the disappearance of the so-called “landfill crisis” of the mid-1990s, means that recycling has not caught on, which runs 【2】 some environmentalists’ wishes.

However, many cities have found ways to recycle economically. They have cut costs by automating sorting and processing. They’ve also found profitable markets for the recyclables(可回收物) 【3】 cast-off items are acceptable or even welcome. Increased efforts by green groups 【4】(educate) the public about the benefits of recycling have also helped.

【5】 uneconomical recycling seems to some people, some cities, such as Pittsburgh, San Diego and Seattle, have made recycling mandatory. In these cities, recyclables are banned from both household and business garbage. Families 【6】 recycle all basic recyclables, such as paper, cardboard, glass and plastic. To businesses with garbage containers “polluted” with more than 10 recyclables，warnings 【7】(issue). If they fail to take action, fines are expected.

New York, a national leader on recycling, decided to stop its least cost-effective recycling programs (plastic and glass) in 2002. But rising landfill costs ate up the $39 million savings expected.

As a result, the city brought back plastic and glass recycling and committed to a 20-year contract with a recycling firm, Hugo Neu Corporation, which built the 【8】(advanced) recycling facility in the country.

The company focuses on 【9】could cut costs. Automation has streamlined the sorting process, and easy access to rail has cut both the environmental and transportation costs. The new deal and new facility have made recycling efficient for the city and its residents, 【10】(show) once and for all that responsibly-run recycling programs can actually save money, landfill space and the environment.

A robot used for housework was going to be tested out in a family. He looked like a tall and handsome man with smooth black hair, speak in a deep voice. Larry was going to be away from home, so he hired such a robot to accompany with his wife Claire. Claire didn’t like the idea at the beginning, and she agreed to it at last. At her first sight of Tony, Claire was alarming. When Tony offered to help her dress, Claire felt embarrassed. Gradual Tony began to win Claire’s trust. He helped Claire realize her dreams by making her home elegant, giving her a new haircut, changing the makeup she wears and giving her advice on her dresses. Therefore at the party all the guest who were invited were filled with admiration when they saw her house was completely transformed. At same time, Tony left a deep impression on all of them. After the test, the company was satisfied with Tony’s report because she had successfully made a woman regain her confident, although he shouldn’t have her fall in love with him.

Dear Leo,

Know that you are in low spirits for the quarrels with your parents，I would like to help you, but I can totally understand your feelings.

To start with it, you should know what this kind of communication problem worries nearly all the teenagers. Therefore, you don’t have to blame yourself not having a good relationship with your parents.

Actually, it isn't easy for them to talk about myself with my parents either, so my solve is to write down my thoughts in a letter to them. We need to tell them what we want and learn to negotiate. For example, I once get my parents to let me hang out with my friends on weekends unless I got better scores.

What’s more, trust the love of your parents for you and have some faith in them.

They will absolute listen to you and understand you in the end.

I’m looking forward to your good news.

Yours,

Li Hua
