George Dawson lived a happy life 26 _ conditions were difficult.When he was ten years old, he saw a young African-American man 27 (murder).He would have told people about it, but he said his 28 (big) problem was his inability to read and write. George Dawson kept it a secret that he could not read.But he said he always dreamed that he would learn. Although he had no education, he taught his children 29 (work) hard in school. George Dawsons life changed in 1996.A man came to his house in Texas, and told him that adult education classes were being taught at a nearby school.So the man who 30 (sign) his name with an “X” for almost one-hundred years went to school.People wondered 31 Mr. Dawson did not go to school earlier.He said he never had the time because of his farm work.

In talking with Americans who had lived overseas, he found that many of 35 had been highly uncomfortable 36 _ culture differences.

And in situations 39 we ourselves are forced to stand close to another person on crowded subways, for example, we turn our eyes away, and if actual body contact 40 (involve), tense the muscles on the contact side.

Thats a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researchers have 41 for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark.” Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become 42 , Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to 43 the species in the future. It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will face extinction in over 100 years. The panda, 44 only to China, is in danger of extinction in the next 25 years. This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to 45 the embryo into a host animal.The entire 46 could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (懷孕). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be 47 science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is 48 the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the project at Texas A&M, the first-ever 49 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 face extinction. I certainly 50 their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.”III.

The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes (笛子), used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they cant earn a living for fear of arrest,” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesnt catch them, animal rights activists report them.”Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners (從業(yè)者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,” he said. “Now its hard to earn even 1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. Its our identity. We love the work. But its become impossible.”Next month Dutts project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that angers many snake charmers.“Were disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,” said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader. 66.
