¡¡¡¡The Smog£¨ÑÌÎí£©
¡¡¡¡For over a month. Indonesia was in crisis. Forest fires raged out of control as the country
¡¡¡¡Suffered its worst drought for 50 years . Smoke form the fires mixed with sunlight and hot dry air to form a cloud of smog This pollution quickly spread and within days it was hanging over
¡¡¡¡neighbouring countries including Malaysia.Singapore and Thailand
¡¡¡¡When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars.it soon became poisonous
¡¡¡¡£¨Óж¾µÄ£©¡£Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose.
¡¡¡¡People wheezed f´Ï¢£©and coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately.
¡¡¡¡The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot
¡¡¡¡£¨Ñ̻ң©covered everything.In some areas£¬water was hosed£¨Óýº¹Ü½½£©from high¡ªrise city
¡¡¡¡buildings to tIY and break up the smog.
¡¡¡¡Finally£¬heavy rains£¬which came in November£¬put out the fires and cleared the air.But the
¡¡¡¡environmental costs and health problems will remain.Many people from South-Eastern Asian
¡¡¡¡cities aireadv suffer from breathing huge amounts of car exhaust fumes£¨Æû³µÅÅ·ÅµÄ·ÏÆø£©and
¡¡¡¡factory pollution.Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have
¡¡¡¡difficulties forѪe first time.Wildlife has suffered too.In lowland forests£¬elephants£¬deer£¬ and
¡¡¡¡tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.
¡¡¡¡But smog is not just an Asian problem.In fact£¬the word was first used in London in 1905 to
¡¡¡¡describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog.Fog often hung over the capital.Sometimes the
¡¡¡¡smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents.
¡¡¡¡About 4£¬000 Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952.

¡¡¡¡Cloning£¨¿Ë¡£©£ºFuture Perfect£¿
¡¡¡¡1 A clone is an exact copy of a plant or animal produced from any one cell Since Scottish
¡¡¡¡scientists reported that they had managed to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997 research into
¡¡¡¡cloning has grown rapidly.In May 1998£¬scientists in Massachusetts managed to create tWO
¡¡¡¡identical calves£¨Å£¶¿£©using cloning technology A mouse has also been cloned successfully But
¡¡¡¡the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a
¡¡¡¡surprising announcement£º¡°We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two
¡¡¡¡years£¬¡°he told the world.
¡¡¡¡2 Seed's announcement provoked a lot of media attention£¬most of it negative.In Europe£¬
¡¡¡¡nineteen nations have already signed an agreement banning human cloning and in the US the
¡¡¡¡President announced£º¡°We will be introducing a law to ban au human cloning and many states in
¡¡¡¡the US will have passed anti¡ªcloning laws by the end of the year¡°
¡¡¡¡3 Many researchers are not so negative about cloning They are worried that laws banning
¡¡¡¡human cloning will threaten important research In March£¬The New England Journal of Medicine
¡¡¡¡called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken Many researchers also
¡¡¡¡believe that in spite of attempts to ban it£¬human cloning will have become routine by 2010
¡¡¡¡because it is impossible to stop the progress of science
¡¡¡¡4 Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world£¿ The public has been
¡¡¡¡bombarded£¨ºäÕ¨£©with newspaper articles£¬television shows and films£¬as well as cartoons.Such
¡¡¡¡information is often misleading£¬and makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be
¡¡¡¡doing next.
¡¡¡¡5 Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning
¡¡¡¡humans.It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child
¡¡¡¡to look like But how would it feel to be a clone among hundreds£¬the anti-cloners ask Pretty cool£¬

¡¡¡¡Scientists are racing to build the world's first thinking robot.This is not science fiction£ºsome
¡¡¡¡say they will have made it by the year 2020 Carol Packer reports
¡¡¡¡Machines that walk£¬speak and feel are no longer science fiction.Kismet is the name of an

¡¡¡¡Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it Can show human emotions.Its eyes£¬ears
¡¡¡¡and lips move to show when it feels happy. sad or bored.Kismet is one of the first of a new
¡¡¡¡generation of androids¡ª¡ªrobots that look like human beings¡ª¡ªwhich Can imitate human
¡¡¡¡feelings.Cog£¬another android invented by the MIT£¬ imitates the action of a mother.However£¬
¡¡¡¡scientists admit that So far Cog has the mental ability of a two¡ªyear¡ªold.
¡¡¡¡The optimists£¨ÀÖ¹ÛÖ÷ÒåÕߣ©say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids£¨»ú
¡¡¡¡Æ÷ÈË£©with brains similar to those of all adult human being.These robots will be designed to look
¡¡¡¡like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public.What kind of jobs will
¡¡¡¡they do£¿ In the future£¬robots like Robonaut£¬a humanoid invented by NASA£¬will be doing
¡¡¡¡dangerous jobs£¬like repairing space stations.They will also be doing more and mom of the
