Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.  
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.
  Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided(避免).
  We should keep away from(远离) all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

B
Rome-Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on the point of cloning the first human baby.  
Dr.Severino Antinori, who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant (怀孕的)with a cloned baby.  
Antinori refused to comment on the reports, but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo (卵)for implantation within two years.So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits.  
Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admit that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a world wide ban on the practice.  
Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said: “I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby.It is using humans as guinea pigs.It makes people feel sick.” But Ronald Green, director of the Ethics institute at Darmouth College in the US, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.  
So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their births .  
Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.  
“There are no benefits of cloned human beings, just harm,”said Dr.Michael Wilks of the UK.
45.What is the doctors’ general attitude to cloning of humans according to the passage?
A.They are against it.                    B.They support it.
C.They welcome it.                          D.They pay no attention to it.

   A.Doctor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings.
   B.Up to now, seven kinds of animals have been cloned, including sheep, cats, humans and rabbits.
   C.Professor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying on an experiment on cloning an eight-week-old embryo.
   D.Ronald Green doubts about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo.
47.Which is the best title for the passage?
   A.The Success of Cloning Humans           B.The Anger at Cloning Humans

Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉).

  ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.

  Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.

  There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.

  A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."

  Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!

  Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.

44.According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is_________.

  A.in existence B.imaginative C.not real D.impossible

45.ESP lets people know___________.

  A.about events before they happen

  B.about events after they happen

  C.about events that are happening some distance away

  D.A and C

46.In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means ____.

  A.things that may not happen

  B.things that happen in a dream

  C.things that must happen

  D.things that happen by accident

47.This article is mainly about_________.

  A.the human dream         B.the sixth sense

  C.the human mind          D.a crowded bus
