As we approach the 21st century，it is clearer than ever that science and technology are changging the way we live and work.The breakthroughs in bioengineering science are helping to reveal the mysteries of life，holding out new hope for lifesaving cures to some of our most dreaded diseases.
In 1997，the great news shocked the whole world that the British scientists created a lamb, named Dolly from a single cell.Miraculously，the cell had been taken from the under of an adult sheep，which marks the first time an adult animal had been successfully cloned.
But it soon caused worldwide concern over its ethical，social，and scientific implications.Cloning is especially controversial because it raises the prospect of“making”humans genetically idenfical to an existing man or woman.Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is untested and unsafe and morally unacceptable.
How to look upon this new technique?When it comes to a discovery like cloning,we must move with caution，care and deep concern about the impact of our actions.First，cloning should be greatly esteemed and great thanks should be given to its inventors.Meanwhile，great efforts should be made to place this technique under strict control.Especially we should adopt a document against human cloning since past experience tells us a new invention may cause troubles if it is misused.

On April 10, 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted with great force. Fifty cubic kilometers of magma (巖漿) flew from its peak (山頂) and a blanket of ash as thick as one centimeter fell over more than 500,000 square kilometers of Indonesia and the Java Sea. The eruption destroyed Tambora’s peak and formed a hole six by seven kilometers wide. The eruption and resulting tsunamis killed 10,000 people. The agricultural loss and disease brought about by the thick ash caused the deaths of 82,000 more.
Indonesia was rocked again in 1883. On August 26, a small volcano on an uninhabited island between Sumatra and Java, erupted. The eruption produced an ash cloud 80 kilometers high and was heard in Australia—4,800 kilometers away. The eruption also caused a tsunami, which pounded (擊打) the shores of Java and Sumatra—killing 36,000 people.
In 1902, St. Pierre was a thriving (興盛的) community and the largest town on the French colony of Martinique in the Caribbean Sea. Mont Pelee cast a shadow over the town from where it stood, eight kilometers to the north. The townspeople were used to the light continuous sounds of the mountain, but in May, 1902 Pelee started to get really unstable. Clouds of steam and ash poured from the volcano and on May 8, Pelee erupted. Superheated gas and steaming volcanic ash flew out, pouring down the mountain at high speed. Within seconds, the deadly gas cloud had destroyed the town of St. Pierre and incinerated everyone in it — except one prisoner in a basement cell. It was the worst volcano disaster of the 20th century.

  1. 1.

    How many people died because of the eruption on April 10, 1815 ?

    1. A.
      About 10,000.

If you know exactly what you want, the best way to get a job is to get specialized training. A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training. 
That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience. But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the effect of a degree washes out after five years.
As further evidence of companies gradually losing faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz mentions a pattern in hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management.  “They want someone who isn’t constrained（限制）by details to look at the big picture,” says  Scheetz. This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts （文科）graduates. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch, manager of the Boston Red Sox, claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,” says Birch.
For a liberal-arts degree, students focus on some basic courses that include literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior—plus a computer course or two. With these useful and important courses, you can feel free to specialize, “A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,” says Scheetz. 

  1. 1.

    What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?

    1. A.
      Students with a bachelor’s degree in humanities.
    2. B.
      People with an MBA degree from top universities.
    3. C.
      People with formal schooling plus work experience.
    4. D.
      People with special training in engineering
  2. 2.

    By saying “…but the effect of a degree washes out after five years”(Para 2), the author means     . 

    1. A.
      most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation
    2. B.
      an MBA degree does not help in the future promotion
    3. C.
      MBA programs will not be as popular in five years’ time as they are now
    4. D.
      people will not forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got
  3. 3.

    According to Scheetz’s statement ( Para. 3), companies prefer people who     . 

    1. A.
      have a strategic mind
    2. B.
      are talented in fine arts
    3. C.
      are ambitious and aggressive
    4. D.
      have received training in mechanics
  4. 4.

    David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because they     . 

    1. A.
      are more capable of handling changing situations
    2. B.
      can stick to established ways of solving problems
    3. C.
      are thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields
    4. D.
      have attended special programs in management
  5. 5.

    Which of the following statements does the author support?

    1. A.
      Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists.
    2. B.
      Formal schooling is less important than job training.
    3. C.
      On-the-job training is, in the long run, less costly.
    4. D.
      Generalists will do better than specialists in management.

Learning to play a musical instrument can change your brain, with a US review finding musical training can lead to improved speech and foreign language skills.
Although it was suggested in the past that listening to Mozart’s music or other classical music could make you smarter, there has been little evidence to show that music can boost(使增長) brain power.
But a data-driven review by Northwestern University has pulled reaserch together that links musical training to learning that spills over into (波及) skills including language, speech, memory, attention and even vocal emotion.
Researcher Nina Kraus said the data strongly suggested that the nervous connections made during musical training also prepared the brain for other aspects of human communication.
“ The effect of musical training suggests that, like physical exercise and its effect on body fitness, music is a resource that tones the brain for auditory fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in shaping individual development, ” the researchers said in their study.
Kraus said learning musical sounds could improve the brain’s ability to adapt and change and also enable the nervous system to provide constructing patterns that are important to learning.
The study, published in Nature Review Neuroscience , looked at the explosion of research in recent years focusing on the effect of musical training on the nervous system which could have impacts for education.
The study found that playing an instrument prepares the brain to choose what is related in a complex process that may involve reading or remembering a score, timing issues and coordination with other musicians.
