History of English

Their language in Britain developed into what we now call Old English. Old English did not sound or look     2     English today.

8 . My name is Michelle Rogers. For most of my life I had been fighting with my body weight. I was either gaining weight or trying to lose it. I wasn’t happy with myself, and I certainly wasn’t able to fully enjoy life. Not only did I feel bad physically? But I felt terrible emotionally. I also knew I wasn’t able to be the best I could be, and with failure after failure in losing weight, I just felt so hopeless to overcome it.

One day in 2008, I was looking through ads online and saw a treadmill (跑步机) for $ 100. This time I decided to start small and keep it doable. The first week I started walking 15 minutes on the treadmill at a fixed time every day. The next week I did 16 minutes. Each week I added a minute. Gradually, I increased speed as well as time. Once I got to 30 minutes, the weight started dropping off.

I didn’t lose weight at first, but I didn’t give up like I did in the past. I realized I started feeling better. My legs were getting stronger. I didn’t feel painful like I used to when I got up from my desk. All the efforts I’d been putting into fitness made me want to start eating healthier, too. I began with small changes as well. After these years I started listening to my body. It was refusing food and habits that were bad for me.

Today, the extra weight is gone. I still exercise every morning. I look and feel the best I have never done. Every area of my life has improved and benefited from this change in me. Not only do I have my youthful energy, looks and health back, but also I have more confidence than I have ever had.

1. How did Michelle feel about losing weight before 2008?

A．Confident.

B．Satisfied.

C．Hopeless.

D．Uncaring.

2. How many weeks had passed before Michelle’s weight began dropping?

A．15 weeks.

B．17 weeks.

C．20 weeks.

D．30 weeks.

3. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Life.

B．Health.

C．The treadmill.

D．The body.

4. What can we learn from Michelle’s story?

A．Time is money.

B．Start with small things.

C．It’s never too late to start.

D．Nothing is more important than confidence.

9 . For the general public confused by the heated discussion on human cloning, A Clone of Your Own? does an admirable job in explaining many of the ethical (伦理的) and scientific problems. Drawing from literature, the visual arts, films and her personal experiences, Arlene Judith Klotzko has created an overview of cloning.

Klotzko tells us about the early experiments that Aristotle did with chicken embryos (胚胎); about a German scientist, Hans Spemann, who figured out the theory of cloning some sixty years before we actually succeeded in cloning; about Dolly, the first cloned sheep at Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute; and about the current successes and failures in attempts to cloning.

The book paints a picture of human cloning as a worthwhile job. Klotzko lists many potential benefits that cloning could have. She also, following several others, makes clear many of the common misunderstanding concerning cloning, and puts in plain words the limited effect that genes have on shaping the kind of people we become.

A Clone of Your Own? provides clear explanations of both the basic scientific and ethical problems surrounding cloning. Klotzko appears to have drawn on a wide range of published work on the ethics of cloning, and makes a large number of the arguments in the literature in this short book. However, readers who are unaware of the literature may be left with the impression that Klotzko is the first and the only person to have written on the ethics of cloning, which is far from the case. It is a pity that the author and the publisher have provided so little reference to the ethics literature and given so little sign that they are aware of it. Whether one's interest lies in the science or the ethics of cloning, the short list of further reading provided at the end of the book is unhelpful and misleading.

But this warning aside, the drawings in this book and Klotzko’s words make the book highly approachable. The public who would like to understand what the debate on human cloning is should read this book.

1. What does Klotzko tell us in A Clone of Your Own?

A．Aristotle gave the theory of cloning.	B．Dolly is the earliest cloned animal.
C．Spemann cloned the first sheep.	D．Cloning is a heated topic.

2. What is Klotzko’s attitude towards cloning?

A．Positive.	B．Negative.
C．Uninterested	D．Doubtful.

3. What can we learn from paragraph 4?

A．Klotzko is the first to write on the ethics of cloning.

B．Publishers offer reference to ethics literature.

C．The list of further reading provided in the book is helpful.

D．Klotzko makes lots of arguments in the literature.

4. What is the purpose of the text?

A．To recommend a book.	B．To explain a problem.
C．To remember a writer.	D．To introduce a discussion.
