    I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa（比萨斜塔）. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.

    Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that is was Pisa and not pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean（倾斜） to one side. Some people want to try to fix it .They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.
        I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down, it is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, it seems to say. And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa as an example. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.

    A．Italian pizza                               B．Italy’s problems

    A．modern                                       B．falling down

    C．600 years old                                 D．60 years old

    　　Tony：These days, the word “clone” has appeared 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．
