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.
What does Einstein's quote mean
甘地认为有七种行为可能毁灭人类，这七种行为分别是没有原则的政治、没有辛劳的财富、没有人格的学识、没有人性的科学、没有道德的商业、没有良知的享乐、没有牺牲的敬拜。
1、没有原则的政治：政治应该基于道德和伦理，而不是仅仅追求权力和利益。如果政治失去了道德准则，就可能导致严重的后果，如战争、恐怖袭击等。
2、没有辛劳的财富：财富应该通过诚实劳动、创新创造等方式获取，而不应建立在剥削和剥夺他人的基础上。如果人们只想着不劳而获或者贪污腐败，就可能导致经济崩溃和社会动荡。
3、没有人格的学识：知识是宝贵的，但只有那些拥有高尚品德的人才能够真正掌握和应用它。如果一个人只追求学术成就而不注重人格培养，就可能会做出违反道德和法律的事情，给社会和个人带来严重后果。
4、没有人性的科学：科学的发展可以为人类带来很多好处，但如果缺乏道德约束，就可能会引发灾难性后果。例如核武器、基因工程等技术的滥用会给人类带来巨大的灾难。
5、没有道德的商业：商业活动应该遵循道德原则，而不是只追求利益最大化。如果商业活动失去了道德约束，就可能导致不公平竞争、环境污染等问题。
6、没有良知的享乐：人们应该在追求个人快乐的同时，关注社会的公平和正义。过度的个人享乐和对社会责任的忽视可能导致社会动荡和道德沦丧。
7、没有牺牲的敬拜：敬拜应该是真诚的、有牺牲的精神，而不是仅仅追求形式和仪式。如果敬拜失去了真诚和牺牲的精神，就可能导致信仰的空虚和道德的沦丧。

Post-listening
1. Why do researchers insist that the science of cloning
should be further explored and advanced
2. What is the writer's attitude towards cloning
Find evidence.
Possible answer:
Researchers insist on explore cloning to continue making progress in curing diseases and developing treatments.
Possible answer:
The writer feels that cloning can be a helpful tool in medical research but that it can also become dangerous. Evidence of this is in the writer's use of Einstein's quote.
Read the first sentence of each paragraph. Are there any single words, such as linking words or time expressions, that help to make the article coherent.
Para. 2: for years
Para. 3: in January 2018

Para. 6: so far
Do you think cloning is a good idea
Cloning is a good idea
Cloning might lead to cures for various diseases and may also offer clues on how to prevent the aging process. Besides, cloning can change animals’ genes to suit research needs so as to save research time, produce more accurate results and lead to more effective treatments. At the same time, it also reduces the number of animals required for testing. So it benefits not only mankind but also animals in a way. According to Einstein, science is just a tool. So, we should regulate the way we use tools instead of giving them up.
Cloning is a bad idea
Clones always develop a similar pattern of health problems and die at an early age, which is an unsolved problem. Besides, cloning raises moral concerns. Some believe it is bound to lead to cloning of other species. The identity of clones is also questioned. Are they objects or individuals with identity Will the technology be abused by some organisations According to Einstein, used in a wrong way, useful tools can also kill. So, we should stop cloning so as to avoid the potential problems.

Sample
Dear fellows,
I'm Li Hua, from Grade 2 Class XX.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.

Identity
身份认同与自我同一性：从忒修斯之船到人类大脑的深度探索
to clone or not to
在传说之中，忒修斯是雅典国王，曾做出杀死怪物米诺陶的壮举：他率着大量青年乘船前往克里特岛，杀死怪物，解救了作为贡品的少年少女。为了纪念他的英勇，人们数年如一日地保养忒修斯乘上的那艘船，直到船上所有的木板破旧不堪，不得已依次进行替换，直到最终，船的所有构成部件已经全部换新。
忒修斯之船
由此，一个问题便诞生：Is this "Ship of Theseus" still the original one
这艘「忒修斯之船」是否还是原来那艘？
如果用忒修斯之船上取下来的老部件来重新建造一艘新的船，那么两艘船中哪艘才是真正的忒修斯之船？
忒修斯之船

身份认同的现实困境
01
身份认同的冲突
Haircut
plastic surgery
If you had a haircut yesterday, your body is not exactly the same as it was the day before. However, if you get plastic surgery, the change becomes obvious.
What would happen if one day all the organs of a person's body were replaced Finally, even the brain is replaced—can we still say "he is who he was"
If someone undergoes a brain transplant, the situation becomes more complicated. We generally tend to say that it is the person who retains the brain who has received a new body, rather than the person who retains the body but has received a new brain. Because we believe that human identity is closely tied to the brain.
如果有人换了大脑，那就比较麻烦。我们一般倾向于说，是那个保留了大脑的人换了身体，而不是那个保留了身体的人换了大脑。因为我们会认为，人的身份认同是跟大脑紧密相连的。
Imagine a technology that can extract all the memories and thoughts from your brain as "data," download them, and upload them into a highly mimetic robot or another person's brain. Can you say that this is still you
如果有一种技术，能把你大脑中的所有记忆和思想变成“数据”抽离本体，下载之后上传到高度拟态化的机器人或另一个人的大脑中，你能说这就是你吗？
When Tu Hengyu's daughter, Yaya, was dying from a car accident Tu makes the decision to extract all the information from her brain—her personality, identity, and memories—and upload it to a virtual space. This allows his daughter to continue "living" in digital form.

重点句式讲解
1．动词不定式作定语
(教材P52)They were the first-ever primates...to have been cloned！它们是有史以来首次被克隆的灵长类动物……！
[句式分析]　不定式短语to have been cloned作后置定语，修饰the first-ever primates，名词与不定式之间是被动关系，动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作或状态前，用不定式完成被动式。当被修饰词前有序数词(first, second等)、最高级或the next，the only，the very等修饰时，常用不定式作定语。
The journalist was the first person to get to the scene where the accident happened.
那位记者是第一个到达事故现场的人。
She was the first woman to be appointed to the board.她是第一位被任命进入董事会的女性。
(1)不定式修饰的名词是time, place, way时，尽管不定式与其修饰的名词有动宾关系，但其后习惯上省略介词。
(2)在way, method, opportunity等名词后可用不定式作定语，也可用of doing结构作定语。
[即学即练]　完成句子
①__________________ (最后一个到的人)pays for the meal.
②Volunteering gives you a chance ____________ (改变生活), including your own.
The last one to arrive
to change lives
2.insist后的宾语从句
(教材P53)Researchers insist that the science of cloning should be further explored and advanced.研究人员主张，克隆科学应进一步得到探索与发展。
[句式分析]　本句是一个复合句，insist后接了that引导的宾语从句。
(1) insist后接that从句，表示“坚持，坚决要求”时，从句用虚拟语气，即从句谓语用“should＋动词原形”，should可以省略。
(2) insist表示“坚持说，坚持认为”时，从句用陈述语气。
Our English teacher insists that we should speak English in and out of class.
英语老师坚持要我们在课堂内外都讲英语。
The scholar insisted that this graduation paper was partly based on one in a magazine and that the student (should) write it a second time.
这位学者坚持认为，这篇毕业论文部分是基于一本杂志上的一篇文章，坚决要求该学生应该再写一遍。
[归纳拓展]
后跟名词性从句，从句谓语用“(should＋)动词原形”的动词：一个“坚持”(insist)；
两道“命令”(order, command)；
四条“建议”(suggest, propose, advise, recommend)；
四点“要求”(demand, desire，request, require)。
[经典例句]
It is recommended that we (should) be retrained to keep up with the times.有人建议我们应该接受再次培训，以跟上时代的步伐。
It is required that students (should) do some exercise for at least an hour every day.要求学生们每天至少锻炼一个小时。
既学既练：
1.He insisted that he ________ (do) nothing wrong and ____________ (set) free.
2.The captain demanded that all the seamen _____________ (prepare) for sail.
had done
(should) be set
(should) prepare
3.whether...or...不管……还是……
(教材P53)How it is used, whether it is a blessing or a curse to mankind, depends on mankind and not on the instrument.怎样使用它，究竟是给人类带来幸福还是带来灾难，完全取决于人类自己，而不取决于工具。
[句式分析]　本句是一个复合句。how it is used，whether it is a blessing or a curse to mankind均为主语从句。
whether...or...作“是……还是……”讲，可引导主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句，用于提供两种选择。
Whether they'll have a picnic or not depends on the weather.
他们是否去野餐要看天气。(主语从句)
Whether you are a farmer or a specialist, you both should obey the rules.
无论你是农民还是专家，你都应该遵守规则。(让步状语从句)
whether用法小结
whether除了用于“whether...or...”结构外，还可用于“whether...or not”“whether or not...”结构，这三个结构既可以引导让步状语从句，也可引导名词性从句。
[相关拓展]
whether...or作“不管……还是……，无论……还是……”讲，在句中引导让步状语从句，表示在从句所提供的两种选择之下，主句所表示的结果都一样。
[即学即练]　完成句子
①无论你走还是留在这里，我必须回家。
________ you go ________ stay here, I must go home.
②无论你是贫穷还是富有，你都必须为成功而奋斗。
_______________________， you have to struggle for success.
③不管你挣钱多还是少，对我没有影响。
It makes no difference to me ________________________．
Whether
or
Whether you are poor or rich
whether you earn more or less
4.either...or...要么……要么……
(教材P52)Cloning is the process of making an exact copy of a plant or animal and developing it either naturally or artificially.克隆是通过自然或人为的方式，对植物或动物进行精确复制、培育的过程。
[句式分析]　either...or...连接并列结构，表示对两事物的选择，意为“要么……要么……；或者……或者……；不是……就是……”。本句中either...or...连接了两个并列状语。
Either you or I am wrong.不是你就是我错了。
Either you or he is wholly right.你和他有一方完全正确。
[易错点提示]
either...or...连接的两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词与最靠近的那个主语一致。not only...but also...，neither...nor...等也有这种用法。
