听力原文：F: purchasing Department, Mary speaking, how can I help you？

M: Hello, could I speak to Peter Lira Please？

F: I'm afraid he's in a meeting at the moment.

M: Could I leave a message then？

F: Certainly.

M: This is Jack Hanks.

F: Oh, yes. Of HBC International, you are coming to see us tomorrow I believe.

M: Yes, well, that's why I am calling. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it. And rather than rescheduling the meeting, I thought it best to send someone else along, Solon in fact.

F: OK. I will just make a note of that. Could you just spell his surname for me？

M: Sure. It's S-O-L-O-N. He's been with us for a couple of years now and he's very experienced. Actually he's just been made a manager of our Product Development section.

F: Is he familiar with our business？

M: Oh, yes. He's been working on your file for a few weeks now. And he'll be able to discuss the contract with you tomorrow. If everyone's happy, perhaps you can go ahead and sign.

F: OK. I'll pass a message on to Peter and we'll look forward to seeing Mr. Solon tomorrow.

Here we have an inevitable distinction. There must be

work done by the arms, or none of us could live. There must

be work done by the brains, or the life we get would not be

worthy having. And the same men cannot do both. There is 【M1】______

rough work to be clone and rough men must do it; there is gentle

work to be done and the gentle men must do it; and it is physically【M2】______

possible that one class can do both well and skillfully. 【M3】______

And it is of no use trying to conceal this sorrowful

fact by fine words, and to talk to the workman about

the necessity of manual labor, and the dignity of the humanity. 【M4】______

Rough work, honorable or not, takes the life of us. 【M5】______

The man who has been driving an expressive train against the north 【M6】______

wind all night, or holding a ship's helm in a gale, is not the same

man at the end of his day, as one who has been sitting in a quiet

room, with everything comfortable about on him. ff it is any 【M7】______

comfort to you to be told that the rough work is the most

honorable of two, I should be sorry to take that consolation 【M8】______

from you, and in some sense I need not. The rough work is, by all

mean, real, honest, and generally useful, while the fine work 【M9】______

is, to great extend, foolish and false as well as fine, and therefore,【M10】______

dishonorable. Nonetheless, when both kinds are equally well

and worthily done, the head's is the noble work and the hand's

the ignoble.

other end and pressed her gently to make her squeak. When the male mouse heard the female mouse's squeaks ， he rushed along the pipe to help her. I suppose he was a gentleman (27) he was only a mouse. Anyway , as he ran through the pipe , he (28) the thread behind him.

that could affect both next fall's Congressional elections and the pre-eminence of US scientists in the worldwide race to turn research on human embryonic stem cells into a therapeutic revolution.

Testimony at a US Senate hearing on 5 March debated a bill proffered by Republican Senator Sam Brownback (Kansas) that would impose criminal penalties on all attempts at transferring a human somatic cell nucleus into a human egg, whether the purpose was to create an infant (usually called reproductive cloning) or to derive embryonic stem cells for disease research (usually called therapeutic cloning.) The US House of Representatives passed a similar total ban last year. Two other bills have also been introduced into the Senate; both would ban reproductive human cloning but permit therapeutic cloning.

Meanwhile, President Bush is expected to fill the long-vacant top job at the National Institutes of Health this week with Elias Zerhouni, executive vice dean of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Balthnore. For several months the front-runner for NIH director had been AIDS expert Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Immunological Diseases and Stroke. The campaign against Fanci was led by Brownback, who regarded him as insufficiently pro-life. Zerhouni is said to have endorsed Brownbacks anti-cloning bill in writing.

The Bush administration also proposed last week that the United Nations adopt a Brownback type worldwide ban on human cloning, including therapeutic cloning. The UN is considering prohibiting reproductive cloning, but delegates from Europe and Asia oppose interfering with cloning to produce embryonic stem cells for research.

The US Senate hearing starred Christopher Reeve, Hollywood's former Superman, a persuasive high-profile advocate for stem cell research who is handsome as ever, but paralyzed from the shoulders down and unable to breathe on his own because of a riding accident some years ago. Testifying against the Brownback bill, Reeve told the hearing that only human embryonic stem cells carrying his own DNA offered hope for remyelinating his devastated spinal nerves via an immunologically compatible cell transplant. Also testifying against the bill was the hearing's scientific star, Nobel laureate Paul Berg of Stanford University. Berg argued that human stem cells not only could solve the problem of transplant rejections, they also could provide a unique source of information about common chronic late-onset diseases such as cancer. Studying cells from young people carrying mutations that predispose them to complex disorders could illuminate the disease process and generate clues to prevention or cure, he said. As both these applications are based on transfer of particular nuclei into human eggs, he pointed out, none of the existing 78 human embryonic stem cell lines President Bush approved for federally funded research last summer would be useful either for complex disease research or for compatible transplants.

Berg also objected strongly to both the Brownback and the House bills' ban on importing therapies based on human embryonic stem cell research done elsewhere in the world. That would prevent 280 million Americans from taking advantage of treatments developed in nations such as the UK where some of this research is permitted, he pointed out. It might even mean that Americans who seek such treatments abroad could be arrested and fined when they return, he predicted.

Both Reeve and Berg have suggested that a comprehensive ban on human cloning would put US scientists at a competitive disadvantage. The US would take a giant step backward in research leadership, Reeve noted, and anyway the work would be done abroad, for example in Europe. "Those are not rogue nations behaving irresponsibly," he told the Senate. Berg has said that h

A．Both reproductive and therapeutic cloning

B．Reproductive cloning only

D．Neither reproductive nor therapeutic cloning

e first learned to write. But there are some parts of the word where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas—legends handed down from one generation to another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did.

Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2000 years ago.

But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgot ten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.

Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the hones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.
