　　Many people like to search the Internet. Exploring the Internet is one of the most important activities of the day. The Internet brings the outside world closer to people's homes. Some people say the world is smaller than before because of the Internet.

　　What's going on in other countries? How do people live in places far away? Is there a good sports game somewhere? What's the life like in the deepest part of sea? If you want to answer all these questions, just come to the Internet. Of course, people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio. But with the Internet they can learn better and more easily. A lot of information can be collected at a great speed.

　　Can we go shopping without leaving home? Can we see a doctor without going to the hospital? Can we study without going to school? Can we draw money without going to bank? All these things seemed to be impossible, but now they have become quite possible.

　　The Internet helps us open our eyes. The Internet also helps open our minds. The Internet often gives us new ideas. In a word, it helps us in many ways. Great changes have taken place in our life since the appearance of the Internet.

　　A: Recently, the word "clone" appeared very often in the newspapers. Do you know its meaning?

　　B: Not exactly, I read a report in yesterday's newspaper. It said there was a Scottish Dolly. It was the first time that a cloned lamb had been made from an adult（成年的）sheep.

　　A: Actually, the word "clone" means to produce the "same" animal by taking cells（細胞）from an adult one, I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only keep a small number of sheep, cows or horses.

　　B: There's more to it. Recently there have been some people who ever want to clone humans.

　　A: It seems interesting. But do you think it is possible to do that?

　　B: No, I don't think so. First I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body are dead already.
