Nowadays, scientists can make copies
of plants, animals and even human beings. We call this cloning. There is
nothing new about cloning at all. Ancient Greeks cloned plants over 4000 years
ago and the first cloned frog appeared in 1968. Twenty-nine years later, in
1997, Dr Ian Wilmut and other fellow researchers from Edinburgh University, Scotland,
managed to clone and adult sheep from a single cell to produce a lamb (Dolly)
with the same genes as its mother. Some people are worried because scientists
started to think about cloning human beings.
Today, we can also use genetic
engineering technology to produce genetically modified food. Scientists can
copy and transfer individual genes from one living organism to another in order
to make plants more productive and more resistant to diseases and pests.
However, some people refuse to eat genetically modified food (GMFs). They
consider that biological products are safer.
QUESTIONS:

the drawbacks of cloning:
*Create
human organs and tissues for transplant
*Cure
genetic diseases
*Create
copies of human beings
*Produce
food for increasing populations

3/ Put
stress on the following words:
Pathology,
zoological, bacteriological, ecology
4/ Combine
the following pairs of sentences using the appropriate connector:
A)*We
can use genetic engineering technology to produce genetically modified foods.
*We can
produce for increasing populations. (therefore, though)
B)*Cloning helps sterile people to have
children.
*It
interferes with human nature. (so, however)
5/Derive
adjectives from the following words:
Fashion,
courage, help, wonder, economy, tradition.
6/ Write
