34、antages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of bein

35、g angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease.

Educationists from China and the US try to find out the answer to questions like this at a forum on the basic education strategy. The forum, held recently, wa

42、s jointly organized by the Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of Education in China and the Postgraduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in the US. It aims to find out similarities and differences that exist between two countries in their educational system. While some ed

43、ucationists in China keep a doubtful eye to the countrys educational system in recent years. Their American counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in China, saying that it is still one of the best in the world. An American educationist told reporters that the basic education in t

44、he US was criticized in recent years due to its political tendency. On the contrary, Chinese governments stress on basic education and qualified teachers has set a good example. At primary and middle school, pupils in China did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils. However, few grow

45、 to be world “masters”. Why? Educationists attributed this to Chinas stress on examination rather than students interest. Deputy Director of the postgraduate school of Pennsylvania University said American teachers encouraged students to focus on their strong points. In China, students are driven to

46、 study to pass the entrance examination test and they do not pay much attention to their own interest. At the forum, director of the Education Development Research Center Mr. Zhang said in the future, the research center would make its middle and long-term basic education strategy by taking some ref

47、erences from other countries including the US.He also revealed that for a long time in the future, China would make a breakthrough in setting the policy for quality education.64.

51、tly there was a major discovery in the scientific research the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is complete. Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish. All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is no

52、t far away. Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality(道德) or religion. Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. If th

53、e clone was free of genetic limitations, then the other clone would be as well. The latter could be inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term. Moreover, cloning would enable women, who cant get pregnant, to have children of their own. Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be clon

54、ed, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs. This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ(s). It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would ro

55、b people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists. Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side. Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal “cycle” of life. There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environ
