LONDON (Reuters)—New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a French-Caribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities (怪异)，researchers said.
The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove long-lasting without major problems.Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants，neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society，they reported.
Only three people have received face transplants.The world’s first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog.In 2007，her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily，overcoming two periods of rejection.
In 2006，Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30-year-old hit by a bear.While there
were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation，two years later the man was doing well，his doctors said.“This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face，and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society，” Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote. A French team described their work on a 29-year-old man who suffered from Von
Recklinghausen disease，an illness that changes the shape of his face.“The man，who was not named，was given a new nose，mouth and chin in a 2007 operation.He began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue，” his doctors said.
“Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement，” Dr.Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the Henri-Mondor hospital outside
Paris wrote. 26．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．Face transplants can work.
B．Face transplants help regain confidence. C．Three people have received face transplants. D．Disfigured people need face transplants.
27．What happened to the Chinese patient mentioned in the passage? A．He got a strange illness when he was young. B．He received several operations in hospital.
C．He was the first person to receive a face transplant. D．He was once attacked by an animal.

Rome—doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on_the_brink_of cloning the first human baby. Dr.Severino Antinori，who is the head of a hospital in Rome，has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant with a cloned baby. Antinori refused to comment on the reports，but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo for implantation within two years.So far seven different kinds of mammals have already been successfully cloned，including sheep，cats and most recently rabbits. Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admitted that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a worldwide ban on the practice. Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said，“I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby.It is using humans as guinea pigs.It makes people feel sick.”
But Ronald Green，director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US，said it was unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth. So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders，many of them dying soon after their births.
Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.
“There are no benefits of cloning human beings，just harm，” said Dr.Michael Wilks of the UK.
31．What do the underlined words “on the brink of” in the first paragraph most probably mean?
A．On the side of. B．On the point of. C．In search of. D．In favor of. 32．The doctors’ general attitude to cloning humans according to the passage is that________. A．they are against it B．they support it C．they pay no attention to it D．they welcome it
33．What does the underlined word “ban” in the fourth paragraph most probably mean? A．order that forbids cloning.
B．suggestion on carrying on cloning. C．anger at cloning. D．cheer for cloning.
34．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Doctor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings.
