[05:16.24]When President Kennedy said in 1961 that we were going to the moon, [05:22.64]we had a total of 16 minutes of space flight experience. [05:28.05]Yet we made it.I lived on the moon for 75 hours. [05:33.84]It was like parking a car in the desert and living out of it. [05:39.54]Looking back,it sometimes seems unreal because we quit.

[08:14.63]He thinks that preserving the earth is too important to be left to grownups.Three years ago, [08:22.41]the boy learned from his teacher about the destruction of the rain forests in Latin America. [08:29.31]Tiensuu was worried that by the time he and his classmates grew up, [08:35.42]there would be no rain forests left to save.He thought they should do something. [08:41.93]One day he saw a television program [08:46.63]where people planted trees to replace one of those that had been cut down. [08:52.22]But,of course, Tiensuu couldn't do that because he lived far away in Sweden. [08:59.22]Then he thought that instead they could buy the rain forest Tiensuu and his classmates [09:07.32]organized a sale in their small village [09:11.21]and raised enough money to buy 10 acres of rain forest in Costa Rica, [09:17.30]School children in Sweden,Germany,Japan and the US have followed his example [09:25.08]As a result,part of the rain forest has been named Children's Eternal Forest.

[10:54.13]W:Welcome to the Genetic World. [11:18.32]Dr.Smith is going to give his opinion about the cloning of human beings. [11:24.51]Dr.smith,is it possible to copy human beings at present? [11:30.81]M:Well,the cloning of human beings is a very inefficient procedure. [11:36.69]Even if the technique were perfected, [11:40.50]we must ask ourselves what practical value human cloning might have.Why do we copy people? [11:49.09]Firstly,couples unable to have children might choose to have a copy of one of them. [11:55.70]The parents would be more likely to place higher expectation [12:01.08]on the cloned child than average parents. [12:05.26]Cloning is also suggested as a means of bringing back a relative,usually a child,killed tragically. [12:13.86]But it must be first recognized that the copy would be a new child and not the lost child. [12:21.75]Thirdly,copying is suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. [12:29.53]Couples might chose to have a copy of a film star, [12:34.63]baseball player or scientist,depending on their interest. [12:39.72]But what if the child does not live up to their hopes. [12:44.53]In my opinion,each child should be wanted for itself,as an individual. [12:51.32]I suggest that there is a greater need to consider the interests of the child. [12:57.33]And we should reject these proposed uses of cloning. [13:02.42]You have one minute to answer questions 22-25. [13:09.42]22.What do we learn about the technique for the cloning of human beings? [13:13.42](A)perfect(B)inadequate(C)undesirable(D)insufficient [13:18.62]23.For a couple unable to have children, what would their attitude towardthe cloned child? [13:21.83](A)They might find it hard to live with him.(B)They might love him so much as to spoil him. [13:33.01](C)They might expect too much from him. [13:38.00](D)They might love him more than average parents do. [13:41.39]24.What will probably be a danger for parents with a cloned child? [13:45.10](A)The parents' dream is nothing but a false illusion. [13:50.30](B)The child will not look like their former child. [13:54.40](C)The child will be spoiled.(D)The child may fail to fulfil the parents' dream. [13:57.90]25.What is the speaker's opinion of the cloning of children? [14:01.48](A)The children's interests are more important. [14:08.77](B)The parents' wishes should be respected. [14:13.16](C)The reasons for cloning children are justified.(D)There is a need to clone children. [14:18.93]This is the end of Part B. [14:26.72]Exercise 6 Part A You will hear 10 short dialogues.
