Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(氮). If certain species（物种） should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct 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 implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. “The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. “They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.” 51. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______. A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas B. save endangered animals from dying out C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

In Munich, parents like their children to buy fresh vegetables in the gardens for the family, but these gardens are not the common ones. They are called the moral vegetable gardens. Children go there to buy what they want. Each time they only need some one-Euro coins because the vegetables there are cheap.

These gardens are built between buildings or on the top of the buildings. In the gardens, some fresh vegetables are grown by adults but some vegetables are just bought from the market and are stuck in the soil. There are no people selling vegetables. There is only a board with price beside each kind of vegetable, so children can get the vegetables they want by themselves and put the money in the box there. It’s just like the fare box on the bus where people put money when getting on the bus. It’s said that the vegetables there haven’t been lost so far.

By buying vegetables in this kind of gardens, on the one hand, children can learn more about how vegetables are grown and be more interested in nature. On the other hand, this can teach children to be honest from the young age, so it’s not hard to understand why German products are famous for its high quality.
