  Tony:These days, the word “clone” has appeared very often in the newspapers.Do you know its meaning?

  Lana:I read a report.It said that Dr.Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb* named Dolly from a grown-up sheep.So people call him the “father” of Dolly.

  Tony:In fact, the word “clone” means to produce the “same” animal by taking cells* from a grown-up one.I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only to keep a small number of sheep, cows or horses.

  Lana:What’s more, these days some people even want to clone humans.They have asked:Can we clone ourselves?

  Tony:It seems interesting.But do you think it possible to do that?

  Lana:No, impossible! First, I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body are dead already.

  Tony:Then can we clone a living person?

  Lana:Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a copy, not a real you.It is only something, not a “human”.

  Tony:Well, you mean that it is not a real human.

  Lana:True enough! I think Dr.Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing to do with human cloning.

     We know that there is air around the earth. We will find there is less air or no air if we go far enough away from the earth. But when    planes fly they need air to lift their wings (機(jī)翼). But planes can't fly very high because the air gets thinner and thinner when    they go higher and higher. Perhaps we can answer some of the questions now. What is the sky? Nothing, where is it? It is all    around the earth. The sky is space (空間). In this space there is nothing but the sun, the moon, the earth and all the stars.
