a backlash from groups opposed to cloning, says the kitten shares many
(4)__with the (5)__Nicky including an unusual liking for water.
The California Company that produced the cat, Genetic Savings and Clone,
says it hopes to produce the world’s first (6)__ cloned dog by next May. Other
companies have already produced cloned cattle, mice, rabbits, goats, pigs and
horses. But the BBC’s Steve Futterman in Los Angeles says those opposed to
(7)__ are already making their voices heard. And scientists warn that cloned
animals suffer more health problems than traditionally (8)__animals. Genetic
Saving and Clone, which says it is using new techniques, has orders for five
more cats and hopes to produce a total of 50 by the end of the next year. (BBC

Task 5. Translate the sentences from English.
1. Heavy drinkers can blame their genes for their propensity to hit the
bottle, research has suggested.
2. In general, attempts to use gene therapy in a wide variety of medical fields
have had only limited success so far. This is because it has proved difficult
to get the therapy to the cells, which need it.
3. As identical twins share all their genes while non-identical twins share 50 %
but still have the same family and prenatal background, the differences
between them can be used to estimate the relative contributions of genes and
the environment.
4. The problem, called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is caused
by a single mutated gene, and meant that he had to live in sterile conditions
or risk picking up a life-threatening infection.
5. The gene therapy could unlock cancer resistance. If the research is
successful, if should help the scientists tackle some of the most stubborn,
radiotherapy-resistant forms of the disease.
Task 6. Render the text from Russian into English.
Генетика под контролем?
В России, как и в других странах, готовятся к тому, что, возможно, уже
очень скоро люди будут питаться генетически - модифицированными
продуктами. Отныне в России все искусственно созданные продукты или
организмы будут проходить еще более тщательную проверку
государственных инспекций - такое решение было принято в четверг на
заседании правительства. Как считает обозреватель газеты
"Известия"
Сергей Лесков, это серьезный и показательный шаг. Существующее в России
законодательство определяет, что и в каких размерах можно применять при
производстве генетически-модифицированных продуктов, а также до какой
стадии можно доводить подобные эксперименты.
