On 5 July 1996, a lamb was born in a shed in Scotland．It was called Dolly and it was an exact copy, or clone of another sheep．A clone is a method of copy a living thing．Scientists have been able to clone plants and bacteria(细菌)for a long time．Now that Dolly has been born, we can clone adult animals and probably even humans as well! In July 1998, scientists cloned twenty-one mice using the same method that was used to make Dolly．These proved that this way of cloning really works．

Making a copy of a living thing is much more difficult than making a copy of something that isn’t living(1ike a mountain bike)．For many years, people have tried to make robots that look and behave like humans．But in real life, scientists haven’t been very successful．Some countries are passing laws to stop scientists cloning humans, because it is such a terrifying thing to do．Robots still look like hunks of metal．They don’t move like we do, and they don’t think like we do．

Here's an interview to a pilot about his life.

(R=Reporter; P= Pilot)

R: How much time do pilots actually spend flying a plane?

P: It varies (WES'J) from about 20 minutes on some domestic (区别) flights to as much as 18 hours on international flights. It all depends on if the flight is a short- or long-haul flight.

R: Do pilots take breaks during flights or do they fly the whole time?

P: Jet lag is annoying for almost all pilots. I try to go to sleep as I would at home.

R: How important is it to know the weight and size of the plane you are flying?

P: It is very important. We weigh almost everything put into the airplane and make estimates (估计) according to the number of people on each flight.

R: Do pilots eat the airplane food?

P: Yes, we eat business class food! Airplane food changes every season and is very delicious if you don't hate eating lobster (龙虾) every day!
