5. Now Martin sees things through ________________.

A. a boy’s eyes　　 B. a child’s eyes　　 C. a man’s eyes　 D. a stranger’s eyes

(C)There are students from all over the world at the United World School. In this school these students study and spend their free time together. The school believes this will help them grow up to be knowledgeable, caring and friendly.

Once a year, there is a special “United Nations” show. Students are allowed to show anything they want, but anything that comes from their traditional cultures. To get ready for the festival, they have to teach each other. And the school believes this will help them understand and enjoy the culture of their friends better.

This school also believes that students should be allowed to make some decisions themselves. For example, the older students are allowed to wear what they want and the younger students are allowed to choose which kind of uniform they want to wear. But all students are asked not to wear an expensive necklace or something else like that, and not to wear clothes that will make other students unhappy.

It is never possible to make everybody happy, but if we want to have a much more wonderful world, it is important for students to understand and enjoy other cultures as well as to be proud of their own.

2.(　 ) Dolly was the name of _________.

A. the father of a sheep　　　　　　 B. a famous scientist

(A)

Tony: These days, the word “clone” has been seen very often in the newspapers. Do you know its meaning?

Lana: I read a report. It said that Dr. Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb named Dolly from a grown-up sheep. So people call him the “father” of Dolly.

Tony: In fact, the word “clone” means to produce the “same” animal by taking cells from a grown-up one. I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only to keep a small number of sheep, cows or horses.

Lana: What’s more, these days some people even want to clone humans. They have asked: Can we clone ourselves?

Tony: It seems interesting. But do you think it possible to do that?

Lana: No, impossible! First, I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body are dead already.

Tony: Then can we clone a living person?

Lana: Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a copy, not a real you. It is only something, not a “human”.

Tony: Well, you mean that it is not a real human.

Lana: True enough! I think Dr. Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing to do with human cloning.
