Read the last paragraph. What does Einstein’s quote mean
“Science is a powerful instrument. How it is used, whether it is a blessing or a curse to mankind, depends on mankind and not on the instrument. A knife is useful, but it can also kill.
Einstein’s quote means that science itself cannot be judged as good or bad, because it can only function when it is used by humans. He also indicates that humans need to be careful with the information they learn through science and to remember to use science for good.
Reading
Think and share.
Why do researchers insist that the science of cloning should be further
explored and advanced
Because they can continue making progress in curing diseases and
developing treatments.
(2) What is the writer’s attitude towards cloning Find evidence.
The writer thinks that cloning can be a helpful tool in medical research
but that it can also be dangerous. Evidence of this is in the writer’s use
of Einstein’s quote.

Dear fellows,
I'm Li Hua, from Grade 2 Class 18.The following is my view on the application of cloning.
In my opinion, the science of cloning is crucial for scientific advancement and should be further explored. Firstly, plant cloning can help improve food chain supplies. Secondly, cloning can be used to protect endangered species from dying out. What‘s more, the use of cloning in medicine can be helpful in the treatment of certain diseases. In conclusion, as long as we make proper use of cloning, it will surely benefit us in many ways.
That's all. Thanks for listening.

Since Dolly, more than 20 mammal 3 _________ have been cloned including camels and goats. In 2018, China announced that two monkeys had been cloned. In comparison with other species, scientists have had to work hard to break the technical 4 ________ to get primates with 5 _________ genes.
