    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.
    Lana: True enough! I think Dr. Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing to do with human cloning.

    A week ago, Columbus Middle School asked the parents of their school to choose a sport for their child to play. Here’s some information about the sports.
    Sports 1: Basketball
    We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. So students should sign up (报名) as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. Each student will have to pay $ 10 each time for the cost of the bus. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
    Sports 2: Gym
    We will use St. Peter’s Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 p.m. Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent from being thirsty. All the activities here are free. And there will be a teacher on duty for each activity.
    Sports 3: Hiking
    Hiking (远足)will be at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 p.m. and finish 90 minutes later. There will be 15 students in each group. And three teachers will be with the students. This sport will cost $ 75 per hour. Students should take plenty of water and sunglasses.
    Sports 4: Swimming
    The Kowloon City Swimming Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and watch the students from the poolside. We will only be able to use the pool for one hour (2: 45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards on watch. Girls must wear swimming suits. The cost is $ 15 per visit.
