According to an English newspaper，scientists could begin cloning human embryos in Britain in 2001.It is understood that the government has already agreed to use Frankenstein’s technology，believing the benefits are more important than ethical (伦理的) concerns.Researchers think it will be possible to grow brain tissue to cure the diseases that are likely to get worse as time passes like Alzheimer’s，and produce “spare part” organs like hearts and kidneys for transplant (移植)．
Ministers are aware that the change in the law will be as controversial as the law which legalized abortion (堕胎) more than 30 years ago.Some politicians reacted angrily，arguing that the government had already made up its mind without discussion.Church leaders and anti-abortion campaigners have long expressed their horror at the plans，arguing that even the earliest embryos are forms of human life.They believe that getting an embryo from cells is morally unacceptable.And it will also cause arguments about how far scientists should interfere with nature and lead to accusations that they are “playing God”．
The cloning of human embryos to provide spare parts is regarded by most experts to be the most important step forward in the 21st century medicine.Scientists say treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s will be the first application of cloning.The ability to clone embryos was first achieved by scientists in Scotland in the late 1990s and now the ability to grow stem cells into tissues and organs is being developed by American researchers.Combining the two
technologies will mean an end to long waits for organs from donors and problems caused by rejection (排异反应) of transplanted tissues by the body.
Ian Wilmut，the man who cloned Dolly the sheep，has warned that British experts will go to America，where such work is legal，if the government does not permit it.
语篇解读 克隆人类胚胎一直是一个敏感的话题，广受争议。
1．The government has decided to allow scientists to clone human embryos because they think that________.
A．Frankenstein’s technology is advanced
B．its advantages are more important than its disadvantages C．diseases like Alzheimer’s are a serious problem in their country D．they can make a lot of money from it

3．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A．The cloning of human embryos will be a great step in the medicine world. B．Spare part organs are necessary for transplant in curing some diseases. C．Scientists will use the cloning technology to cure Alzheimer’s first. D．It takes time to make the cloning of human embryos legal.

David Braben is a well-known game developer who runs the UK development studio，Frontier Developments.He has developed several famous computer games.Recently，however，Braben has been trying to solve another problem：getting programming and general learning of how computers work back into schools.
Braben says that since we entered the 2000s，education has turned towards teaching useful skills such as writing on computers，how to get information，and learning basic computer use skills.But they have replaced more computer science-like skills such as basic programming and understanding the architecture and hardware (硬件) contained in a computer.
His solution is not to create his own course，but instead to make a very low cost PC that can be given to kids for free.“A personal computer is important for each student to have in class.When we say low cost，we mean so low that even ‘One Laptop per Child’ can be realized.” Braben has developed a tiny PC.How much is the cost? $25.This is the answer to anyone that says they can’t afford a computer.The new tiny PC will let the user surf the Internet and give the user a fully functional computer to play with.And it can be carried in your pocket or on a key chain.
This tiny，cheap PC is going to be given to schools without charge through a new charitable foundation (慈善基金会) called the Raspberry Pi Foundation.It will help computer science studies in schools.Braben says he hopes that the computers will be given within the next 12 months.
