Most people love us for what we are, but some still risk to hunt us for money and make us even rarer in the world. Please help us. We count on you!

Chen Ning Yang

Son of a professor of mathematics of Tsinghua University, Dr. Yang was brought up in the peaceful and academically inclined atmosphere of the campus. He is a quiet, modest, and pleasant physicist, and also a hard-working person who allows himself very little leisure time. Among his many significant contributions to the field of physics, Yang proposed a theoretical framework that later became the basis of the present theory of the structure of matter at the

smallest scales and highest energies. He worked together with Tsung Dao Lee, and the two made a fundamental theoretical breakthrough in predicting that the law of conservation of parity would break down in the so-called weak interactions, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1957.

Why Should We Use Cloning?

Human cloning technology is expected to result in several miraculous medical breakthroughs. We may be able to cure cancer if cloning leads to a better understanding of the disease. We often read about a girl who needs a kidney, a traffic accident victim who needs an eye, and a mountain climber who has lost a leg. All these people favor cloning and want the science to proceed. Some people are worried that the technology can also be used for reproducing humans, but for an infertile couple or a couple whose only child has died, cloning has the potential to change their lives.

Now they’ve been working on it for two years. They should have finished it two month ago. However, practically nothing has been achieved. If no improvement is made for real, soon the factory would be put up for sale.

Learning English Through the Internet

The Internet provides excellent sources for learning English. Most information on the Internet is presented in English. You can get the latest reports on events taking place all over the world as well as information useful to your work or study. However, you should choose such materials as you find not too difficult to read. Difficult articles and technical papers on the Internet that you struggle to understand will not help you to develop your reading skills. Remember: to learn English via the Internet you must keep your purpose in mind, or you will get lost on the Net.

College life is extraordinarily pleasant. Young people on campus are all gung ho to acquire knowledge. They are with no responsibility to anything but their studies.

人回到学校，在那里他们可以利用学习资源。有些人调换工作，以丰富自己的工作阅历。甚至在退休以后他们还会投入时间进行学习。

In a world of constant innovation, a degree can’t guarantee you a successful

career. So it’s common practice for people to commit themse lves to learning. They develop positive attitudes toward lifelong learning. Some of them go back to school where they can make use of learning resources. Some change jobs to acquire more work experience. Even after retiring, they will still invest time in learning.

Dear Martha,

I’m so glad to hear that you are coming to China! I don’t know what your itinerary will be like but you must manage to come to Shanghai because it is known as the “Pearl in the Far East”. The ancient city of Shanghai has a brand-new look now. As an international metropolis, Shanghai is the largest port city and the biggest financial center in eastern China. The rapid development of Pudong Zone has added beauty and vigor to Shanghai. Shanghai is also known as a paradise for shoppers. I’m sure your suitcases will be crammed with various Chinese souvenirs when you start back for the States.

Yours

Zhang Ming

1. 当我还是一个小女孩的时候，我就被中国的语言文字和历史所深深吸引，有朝一日能去中国游览一直是我的梦想。多亏了中国的改革开放政策，欢迎外国游客来到这个具有5000年历史的神秘国度。当我终于梦想成真来到了中国，我注意到的第一件事，就是这里人们的穿着主要是灰、蓝两种颜色的服装，这让我感到十分好奇。为了能触摸到中国文化的精髓，我决定在中国多待一段时间。结果，我对中国的第一次造访竟长达三年之久。

When I was a little girl, I was so absorbed by Chinese language and history that it had always been my dream to visit China someday. Thanks to China’s opening-up and reform policy, foreign tourists are welcomed to this mysterious land of 5 000 years history. When my dream finally came true, the first thing I noticed was that people mainly wore clothes in either grey or blue, which I found intriguing. In order to reach the heart and soul of the Chinese culture, I decided to stay a bit longer. It turned out that my first visit to China lasted for as long as three years.

2. 巴黎迪士尼乐园是巴黎的主要旅游景点之一，距离巴黎市中心约32公里。巴黎迪士尼由欧洲迪士尼公司运营，它是在美国本土以外开办的第二个迪士尼主题公园，以其开放式及家庭游乐式而闻名。难怪巴黎迪士尼乐园是世界上游览人数最多的主题公园之一。

Disneyland Paris is one of the major tourist attractions in Paris, which is located about 32 km far from the center of Paris. Disneyland Paris is operated by the Euro Disney and it is the second Disney theme park that was opened outside the United States of America. It is well-known for its open and family-friendly manner. No wonder the famous Disneyland Paris is one of the most visited theme parks of the world.
