9、ting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen.

10、 in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years.

12、ng used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live
13、pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that f
14、ace extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.”24.

However, they did not have enough frogs of their own and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing .There were millions of frogs in
19、 the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them .Agreement was reached and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream
20、 of a better future, but the dream didnt last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldnt just wa
21、it to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadnt been useless. They had been doing an important job-eating ins

She and her research team wanted to know how
27、 the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment，they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later，the second group remember
28、ed the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific comput
29、er folder(文件夹)Surprisingly，people later remembered the folder location(位置)better than the facts. When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information. Rather，they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory(交互记忆)”According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor
30、memories as a result of the Internet. Instead，computer users are developing stronger transactive memories；that is，people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，bu
