2.他們不遺余力地讓城里人想象自己現在住的地方決不是城市：在較為現代化的城郊鋪上幾塊草坪，在更為富裕的遠郊，草坪的面積更大。

3.即使城市居民在他們郊區的家外面能知道有時天氣熱了，有時天氣冷了，但僅憑他們的后院的草坪或幾棵半死不活的小樹，他們是無法知道季節更迭的真正節奏的。

4.城里人日復一日地生活在非現實之中，自命不凡，舉止愚蠢，他們即使在趕路時也是步履沉重，他們從不仰視他們的建筑，更不會仰望天空。恰恰是這種生活使他們帶者傲慢的神情蔑視和譏諷 供養他們的鄉下人的有益且有回報的生活。

如果我們超越一點來研究這個問題，就象我們們遠距離地審視整個國家一樣，我們對到底 是什么到大城市來這個問題就會有一點眉目了。大城市值得注意的主要一點就是“大”：人多，發生的事情也多。如果你真正從一個很遠的距離。如夜晚航行的飛機上，俯視一座城市，你會被眼前難以置信的明亮所打動：那么多的燈光，以至于你會情不自禁地以為五彩繽紛的生活就在下面向你招手。然而，一旦你落地，失望之情便會油然而生，因為當你驅車從機場駛入市中心說，你會意識到光明不過是綿延幾英里的路燈和虹招牌。他們本身并非是快樂與幸福的源泉。城市之光并不友善，僅僅只是燈光而已。事實上，其效果或許還讓你感到孤獨和寂寞。

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
