听力原文: A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called taking a mortgage. The hank usually lends money or gives a mortgage for 25 years. This means that the person who borrows has 25 years to pay back the money. The bank lends this money with interest, and the borrower makes equal monthly payments to the hank until he has paid the mortgage. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $50,000. In other words, they will have a $50,000 mortgage.
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like, you go to a bank, sometimes it is necessary to go to a few banks, before applying for a mortgage at once. The bank will investigate your financial history and decide if they think you axe a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.

Many people believe that cloning represents man’s attempt to “play God” and want to see it banneD.There are also many people who say that cloning research involving other animals should be banned as well. One scientist who doesn’t go along with this point of view is Michael Archer, who supports a proposed project to try to bring back the Tasmanian tiger that no longer exists. He believes people kill off all of the Tasmanian tigers, but through cloning the mistake could be corrected.Before the 1800s, this animal could be found all across AustraliA.But when settlers from Europe came to Australia, they found that Australia was a very good place to raise sheep. Unfortunately, many of these sheep were killed by Tasmanian tigers, so people began to hunt the tigers. In 1936, the last known Tasmanian tiger died in a zoo in TasmaniA.Since then, no evidence of any living Tasmanian tigers in the wild has been found.The only currently living cloned animals came from experiments on living species. In these experiments, the eggs that grew into the cloned animals developed inside host mother of that same species. But since there are no living female Tasmanian tigers to act as mothers, a different species would need to act as the host mother. Researchers need to learn a lot more about the possibilities of this process before any extinct species can be cloned.A surprising discovery was made in 2001. A jar containing a preserved baby Tasmanian tiger was found in the Australian Museum. The jar had been sitting in the museum since 1866! Luckily, it had been preserved in alcohol rather than another kind of preservative. The alcohol did not destroy its DNA, so that gave researchers the idea to try to use its genes to clone a Tasmanian tiger. There was a breakthrough in 2002 when scientists managed to make duplicates of sample genes from that baby tiger – the first step toward reproducing the full DNA of the animal.“What Professor Michale Archer and his team are attempting is as scientifically exciting and technically challenging as splitting the atom or landing a man on the moon,” said Maurice Paleau, the producer of a television documentary on the cloning efforts.
