2、es(靈長類) to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo(胚胎) splitting, the division of an early－stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus(細胞核) with DNA from a differentiated body cell.

3、 This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer(SCNT), can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA. Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or

4、 using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadn't been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers' pouring col

5、d water on the idea that the team's results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too

6、unsafe, and it is also pointless. But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species. Thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non－h(huán)uman primate models for human diseases;

7、they absolutely have no intention, and the society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough as a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease. 語篇導讀　中國科學家利用SCNT技術克隆出了兩只猴子，文章介紹了相關信息并討論了這種克隆實驗的影響。 1．What do we know a

13、內啡呔)—chemicals in the body that cause happiness—are behind the so－called “runner's high”， a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew. According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called

14、 endocannabinoids(內源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling. To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice. Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels

15、, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety. But after being given a drug to block their endorphins they changed. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, the runner's high symptoms seemed to fade. “The long－h(huán)eld notion of endorphins being re

16、sponsible for the runner's high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out，” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog. Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it's already well known th
