人教版高二Unit 11 Scientific Achievement
organizer: i see. dr jones, how about you?
dr jones: at present, we are also facing the same problem of lacking money. my research project is about cloning and how to use new technology to cure dis¬ease. today, more and more patients are expecting to get organ transplant in order to prolong their lives. i wish what i am doing could help them.
organizer: i understand. dr smith, could you please give me your opin¬ions on your project?
dr smith: for humankind on the earth, food is a fundamental factor, and as the population keeps growing, per capitation resource of people is becoming less and less. my plan is to de¬velop new technology that will make it possible to grow food with very little water. howev¬er, currently, the shortage of money prevents my work from further going. i hope you can give me a hand on my project,
organizer: it sounds a good idea. dr winfrey, it\'s your turn now.
dr winfrey: it’s ceaseless for human be¬ings to explore the universe. that\'s why we are urgent to know what the mars looks like and if there is any life on it. i\'m thinking of sending a man¬ned spaceship to mars. never¬theless, this huge project will surely cost a large sum of money. and i don\'t think we can get to the aim without your support.
organizer: so, everyone has finished their statements on their own pro¬ject. frankly speaking, they all sound tempting to me, but i\'m more inclined to the project suggested by dr smith. from my point of view, it\'s more closely related to the daily life of people and in accord with the actual condition of our country. i\'d like to pour money into his project.
