如果我们超越一点来研究这个问题，就象我们们远距离地审视整个国家一样，我们对到底 是什么到大城市来这个问题就会有一点眉目了。大城市值得注意的主要一点就是“大”：人多，发生的事情也多。如果你真正从一个很远的距离。如夜晚航行的飞机上，俯视一座城市，你会被眼前难以置信的明亮所打动：那么多的灯光，以至于你会情不自禁地以为五彩缤纷的生活就在下面向你招手。然而，一旦你落地，失望之情便会油然而生，因为当你驱车从机场驶入市中心说，你会意识到光明不过是绵延几英里的路灯和虹招牌。他们本身并非是快乐与幸福的源泉。城市之光并不友善，仅仅只是灯光而已。事实上，其效果或许还让你感到孤独和寂寞。

Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997.A fierce debate on human cloning has ever since been going on.This contentious issue has focused on ethical and social implications of the technology: what the technology might do to the very meaning of human reproduction, child rearing, individuality, et cetera.The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to reproductive cloning and support therapeutic cloning for treating diseases.The reason is that therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief of suffering in human beings.Scientists believe that with politics and monitoring in place to ensure that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we can all benefit from this procedure.Text B Comprehension Check(P.248)d
