Therapeutic cloning
Reproductive cloning involves implanting a cloned embryo into a uterus in the hope of producing a
healthy foetus. A company called Clonaid claims to have successfully cloned thirteen human babies.
They say that all of the babies are healthy and are in various location including Hong Kong, UK, Spain
and Brazil. Clonaid states that they are using human cloning to assist infertile couples, homosexual
couples and families who have lost a beloved relative.
The same technology can be used for animal cloning. If endangered species such as the giant panda
and Sumatran tiger could be cloned, they could be saved from extinction. Livestock such as cows could
also be cloned to allow farmers to reproduce cattle that produce the best meat and most milk. This could
greatly help developing countries where cows produce significantly less meat and milk.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
THE PRAISE OF FAST FOOD
The media and a multitude of cookbook writers would have us believe that modern, fast, processed food is
a disaster, and that it is a mark of sophistication to bemoan the steel roller mill and sliced white bread while
yearning for stone-ground flour and a brick oven. Perhaps, we should call those scorn industrialised food,
culinary Luddites, after the 19th-century English workers who rebelled against the machines that destroyed
their way of life. Instead of technology, what these Luddites abhor is commercial sauces and any synthetic
aid to flavouring our food.
Eating fresh, natural food was regarded with suspicion verging on horror; only the uncivilised, the poor,
and the starving resorted to it. The ancient Greeks regarded the consumption of greens and root vegetables as
a sign of bad times, and many succeeding civilizations believed the same. Happiness was not a verdant
garden abounding in fresh fruits, but a securely locked storehouse jammed with preserved, processed foods.
What about the idea that the best food is handmade in the country? That food comes from the country
goes without saying. However, the idea that country people eat better than city dwellers is preposterous.
Very few of our ancestors working the land were independent peasants baking their own bread and salting
down their
own pig. Most were burdened with heavy taxes and rent, often paid directly by the food they produced. Many
were ultimately serfs or slaves, who subsisted on what was left over; on watery soup and gritty flatbread.
The dishes we call ethnic and assume to be of peasant origin were invented for the urban, or at least
urbane, aristocrats who collected the surplus. This is as true of the lasagna of northern Italy as it is of the
chicken korma of Mughal Delhi, the moo shu pork of imperial China, and the pilafs and baklava of the great
Ottoman palace in Istanbul. Cities have always enjoyed the best food and have invariably been the focal
points of culinary innovation.
Preparing home-cooked breakfast, dinner, and tea for eight to ten people 365 days a year was servitude.
Churning butter or skinning and cleaning rabbits, without the option of picking up the phone for a pizza if
something went wrong, was unremitting, unforgiving toil. Not long ago, in Mexico, most women could
expect to spend five hours a day kneeling at the grindstone preparing the dough for the family's tortillas.
In the first half of the 20th century, Italians embraced factory-made pasta and canned tomatoes. In the
second half, Japanese women welcomed factory-made bread because they could sleep a little longer instead
of getting up to make rice. As supermarkets appeared in Eastern Europe, people rejoiced at the convenience
of readymade goods. Culinary modernism had proved what was wanted: food that was processed,
preservable, industrial, novel, and fast, the food of the elite at a price everyone could afford. Where modern
food became available, people grew taller and stronger and lived longer.
So the sunlit past of the culinary Luddites never existed and their ethos is based not on history but on a
fairy tale. So what? Certainly no one would deny that an industrialised food supply has its own problems.
Perhaps we should eat more fresh, natural, locally sourced, slow food. Does it matter if the history is not
quite right? It matters quite a bit, I believe. If we do not understand that most people had no choice but to
devote their lives to growing and cooking food, we are incapable of comprehending that modern food allows
us unparalleled choices. If we urge the farmer to stay at his olive press and the housewife to remain at her
stove, all so that we may eat traditionally pressed olive oil and home-cooked meals, we are assuming the
mantle of the aristocrats of old. If we fail to understand how scant and monotonous most traditional diets
were, we fail to appreciate the 'ethnic foods' we encounter.
Culinary Luddites are right, though, about two important things: We need to know how to prepare good
food, and we need a culinary ethos. As far as good food goes, they've done us all a service by teaching us
how to use the bounty delivered to us by the global economy. Their ethos, though, is another matter. Were
we able to turn back the clock, as they urge, most of us would be toiling all day in the fields or the kitchen,
and many of us would be starving.
