A Low-carbon Day
The students in our class took part in an activity of “Experience a Low-carbon Day” during the Labor Day vacation.…
On a typical hot August day in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, Zeng Demei, a retired worker in his seventies, hurries down a busy street.In his hand is a black leather bag.Zeng opens his bag, taking out two forms.
1..
Each of the forms contains detailed information of a student.On his arrival two hours later a woman greets him and leads him to her office where another man is waiting.They are the two village officials.They inspect the forms handed to them by Zeng and immediately recognize the girls.2.? "It’s a pity but it doesn't matter." says Zeng, who wastes no time in deciding to look for the remaining child, Su Qiuju.
After half an hour, they stop outside a small house made of mud brick.A middle-aged man and a girl in a faded pink dress greet them.Su Qiuju is eight years old.She was forced to drop out of school after both her parents died.She is now living with her uncle who cannot afford his own children's education.However, the year of education Su Qiuju did complete was a successful one.3..
When they are about to leave, Zeng says, "I must find a supporter for this girl to sponsor her education." Zeng has made it his retirement task to help children complete their schooling.Back in 1999, Zeng took part in a campaign started by the local women's organization to help students from poor families.4..
His task had begun and since then he has spent his time persuading his friends and neighbors and others to donate money."To me, children's education is the most important. 5. I have to find sufficient funding before the school opens in September."
When asked how long he will keep up his vital work as the community's guardian angel, he has a simple reply." Not until my eyes can't see, and my feet can't move."

B.These are for the two girls he's going to visit this morning
C.They live in a small village not very far, though only one of the girls is still living at home
D.She displayed a talent for handwriting, writing her three-character name neatly and beautifully
E.The thought of students dropping out of school bothers me so much that I can't get to sleep at night
F.Of course, some people question why I would want to give up my retirement to go to so much trouble
G.He was so overcome by the tough situation of many poor children ?that he donated all his money to help out a girl
Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research—the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is complete.Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish.All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away.Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality or religion.
Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning.If the clone was free of genetic limitations.then the other clone would be as well.The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term.Moreover, cloning would enable women, who can't get pregnant, to have children of their own.
Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs.This, surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ (s).It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.
Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side.Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life.There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development—the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment.Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance.Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear.Thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and, chances are, that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society.
Scientists haven't 100 per cent.guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal.Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool".
Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent to me personally.We should rather try to look at all "shades" of it.I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans.Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life".I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.
