35、 taxi drivers 10-15 percent of the fare, but many people forget about the airport van driver.

He was born in San Francisco. Frost entered Dartmouth University in

43、 1893, but dropped out, and switched to Harvard, which he attended for two years. He started a brief teaching career, where he was inspired to become a poet by some of his students work. Frost stopped teaching and became a farmer. During this time he wrote numerous poems, and a couple of short stori

44、es. While he was a farmer he started to think seriously about becoming a famous poet. In almost all of his poems, Frost wrote in the first person. The first widely-read poem that he published was called My Butterfly. At first his audience was very small, but with his Collected Poems he became famous

45、. Robert Frost received almost all the awards that there were for poetry.

50、lieve that the UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. In some areas across the country, we have witnessed the lowest levels of rainfall for twenty years and as a result our reservoirs(水库)are under great pressure. On an average day, a person in the UK will use 150

51、liters of water through drinking, cooking and washing. Around a third of the water will be wasted. Year after year, our daily water use is increasing by one percent, which is a threat in the long run. The effects of global warming will place pressure on water supplies as warmer summers lead to more

52、water use and wetter winters lead to water quality problems. It is very important that we use water in a helpful way. The key is not simply to limit water use through bans (禁令) but to minimize the level of water that we waste on a daily basis. Reducing waste neednt mean spending money, although ther

53、e are water saving appliances (用具) on the market that are worth considering. By making small changes to the way we use water, big savings on wastage are possible. Throughout the home there are a number of ways to cut down on water wastage. By fixing a dripping tap, you can rid yourself of the boring

54、 drip, drip sound while at the same time saving as much as 5,000 liters of water a year.

58、call on people to take measures to save water.EResearch advances over the past decade have told us that, with a little work, we humans can clone almost anything we want, from frogs to monkeys and probably even ourselves. So, we can clone things; but why would we want to? Of all its uses, cloning for

59、 medical purposes has the most potential to benefit a large number of people. Much of what researchers learn about human disease comes from studying animal models such as mice. Often, animal models are genetically engineered to carry disease-causing changes in their genes. Creating these transgenic

60、animals is a time-consuming process that requires trial-and-error and several generations of breeding. Cloning technologies might reduce the time needed to make a transgenic animal model, and the result would be a population of genetically identical animals for study. Have you seen Jurassic Park? In

61、 this feature film, scientists use DNA preserved for tens of millions of years to clone dinosaurs. They get into trouble, however, when they realize that the cloned creatures are smarter and fiercer than expected.Could we really clone a dinosaur? Probably not.

62、have survived undamaged for such a long time. However, scientists have tried to clone species that have more recently become extinct, using DNA from well-preserved tissue samples.
