Kong Zhenlan， a 71-year-old woman from Chinas Shanxi Province，
has devoted the last four decades of her life to adopting orphans （孤儿），
making sure that they had food on the table and got access to education.
Even though she could only afford to support herself on a modest
income， Kong Zhenlan couldn’t bear to walk by the orphanage in Jixian
County every day and see so many children struggling in poverty. One day，
she stopped by and picked one of the orphans in her arms. That’s when she
knew she had to do something to make their life better. The modest woman
started adopting these abandoned children and nurturing （养育） them as
her own. Over the last 47 years， she has adopted 45 orphans， some of
whom grew up to become doctors and lawyers.
Kongs oldest adopted child is 45-years-old， while her youngest is 9-
months-old. Today， her adult children donate some of their monthly
salaries to help bring up their younger siblings （兄弟姐妹）， but in the
beginning， the woman had to make duel with what she had. And it wasn’t
much. She would spend all her money making sure the children had milk to
drink， and if there was none left for her， she would look for leftovers in
local garbage cans.
The modest woman recently told Pear Video that over the last 40 years
she has only been getting 2 hours of sleep per night. She goes to sleep at
around midnight， after putting the children to sleep and finishing up her
chores， and gets up around 2 am to check if they’re all still covered with

People do not like being separated from their mobile phones， even
while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However， the phone battery
may become exhausted completely. If that happens， they have no choice
but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s impossible to get the
battery charged at the beach. What’s worse， the hot sun is shining right
overhead， and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high
temperature.
Antoine Sayah， a university student from Lebanon， developed a
special beach mat called the Beach ill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach
mat and will cause back pain as well. However， the device can recharge
any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant （防水的） and has a
5-watt solar panel （面板）， which provides power continuously. The mat
also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool， just
like the refrigerator.
Antoine Sayah began selling the beach ill on the Internet for $150. He
says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for
the device from Brazil， Toronto， all over Europe， especially France，
America， from all continents.” The beach ill is also gaining popularity in
other places， like swimming pools and boats.
Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy to carry. Rita
Mathieu bought one of the beach ills. “When I am on the beach， I used to
look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water
never stays cool，” she says， “so this kind of beach mat is wonderfuland has everything in it， even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to

beach.”

Rome—Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend
reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on the
brink of cloning the first human baby.
Dir. Severino Antinori， who is the head of a hospital in Rome， has
been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is
eight weeks pregnant with a cloned baby.
Antinori refused to comment on the reports， but he said he hoped to
produce a cloned embryo （卵） for implantation （植入） within two
years. So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully
cloned， including sheep， cats and most recently rabbits.
Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they
admitted that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a
worldwide ban on the practice.Professor Rudolf Jaeniscb of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical
Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said， “I find it
astonishing that people do this where the result can be predicted that it will
not be a normal baby. It is using humans as Guinea pigs. It makes people
feel sick.”
But Ronald Green， director of the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth College
in the US， said it was unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead
to a birth.
So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious
disorders， many of them dying soon after their births.
Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about
the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.
“There are no benefits of cloned human beings， just harm，” said Dir.
Michael Walks of the UK.

most probably mean？

13. What is the doctors general attitude to the cloning of humans？
A. They support it. B. They welcome it.
C. They are against it. D. They pay no attention to it.
14. What can we learn about the cloned animals？
A. They are active.
B. They are born unhealthy.
C. They live a relatively long life.
D. They have a different character from the normal.
15. What does the text mainly tell us about human cloning？
A. Its failure. B. Its success.
C. The anger at it. D. Voices against it.

A major source of teen stress is school exams， and test anxiety is not
uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress， how can
parents help your teen stay calm before an exam？
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teens work. 1 What
they look for is your presence—to talk， to cry， or simply to sit with themquietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express
his worries and fears， but don’t let him focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. 2 Together， you and your teen can work
out a timetable in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and
protect his privacy. Give him a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to
eat a healthy， balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his best.
3 If this happens， encourage your teen to eat light meals or
sandwiches. A healthy diet， rather than junk food， is best for reducing
stress.

he needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation， fun， and
exercise is important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance his time so
that he will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with
friends or rest.

One possible version：
Have a Healthy Lifestyle
We all know that health is very important. Only when we are healthy can
we study well and enjoy life.
However， many teenagers dent pay any attention to their health，
especially during the holiday. They spend too much time watching TV，
playing games and chatting on the Internet all night， which is bad for their
health. This may make them get nearsighted. Their bodies become much
weaker. And they will lose the chance to communicate with others face to
face as they never go out.
In my opinion， teenagers should spend less time in front of the TV or
the computer. Go out to take some exercise， play some sports and visit
some friends and have a healthy lifestyle.
