21、;as safe to eat as the food we eat every day." And when those clones reproduce sexually (有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring (后代) are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited. So the F.D.A. suggests that sheep clones not be used for human food.The United States this year

22、 could become the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals. First, however, the public will have ninety days to discuss three proposed documents.

30、d animals.C When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get. For kids, happiness has a magical quality.
