18、 information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. they tell us what is going on around us. so robots are like human beings in two ways.they work and they have feedback.in some ways robots are better than human b

24、 states government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals. the food and drug administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat. an f.d.a. official called them "as safe to eat as the food we eat every da

25、y." and when those clones reproduce sexually有性繁殖, the agency says, their offspring后代 are safe to eat as well. but research on cloned sheep is limited. so the f.d.a. proposes that sheep clones not be used for human food. the united states this year could become the first country to approve the s

26、ale of foods from cloned animals. first, however, the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. on december 28th the f.d.a. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. the agency says it must receive comments by april second. th

34、n on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. they enjoy all the cheerful things. those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. by t
