读故事记单词雅思词汇---Animal
"It was always my ambition to be a research analyst studying amphibian anatomy for the benefit of mankind." Said Dr. Cull to the high school students touring the laboratory."My ancestors were all scientists and my father taught me that it is simply amazing to appreciate all of the anatomical detail in each creature. There is nothing amorphous about them. I also hope that through my research we can understand the impacts of our society on these creatures so that we can know how to ameliorate environmental problems and amend our wrongs. Frogs, for example, are an indicator of environmental pollution"
"You are very ambitious, Dr. Cull." A bright, amber-haired girl said. "So you are looking for analogies between animals and humans?"
"Yes, and there are already ample findings amid the analogues we already have. We know much about how anesthetics work, for example, based on clinical trials with rats."
"Ooowww. I disagree with using animals for tests!" Another student suddenly said.
"Some people think that the ethics of using animals for testing are fairly ambiguous.But the amount of knowledge we have amassed about health, vaccines, antibiotics etc. is incredible. Many of your daily amenities are based on results from animal research. There is really nothing amateurish or careless slx)ut animal testing." Replied the Doctor.
"But I've seen videos of the amateur conditions in different research facilities and things look pretty bad for animals." Interjected yet another high school student.
"I see we've hit on an interesting topic. Let's step into this conference room and discuss this further."

读故事记单词雅思词汇---动物实验
“我那时的抱负一直是做研究分析员,研究两栖动物解剖,造福人类。”卡尔博士对前来参观实验室的高中生们说,“我的祖先们都是科学家,我父亲教导我说,欣赏每种生物的所有结构细节真的很惊人。这些结构细节没有任何不规则之处。我也希望通过我的研究让大家明白社会对这些生物的影响,这样我们就可以改善环境问题,改正我们的过错。比如说青蛙就是一种环境污染的指示生物。”
“您可真是雄心勃勃,卡尔博士。”一名头发呈琥珀色的聪明女生说道,“那么您正在寻找人和动物之间的相似之处喽?”
“是的,在我们已有的相似物中已经有大量发现了。比如说,根据在老鼠身上进行的临床实验,我们对麻醉剂如何起作用已经有了很深入的了解。”
“啊啊...,我可不同意用动物做实验!”另一名学生突然说道。
“有些人认为用动物做实验的道德准则是相当模棱两可的,但是我们通过实验积累的有关健康、疫苗、抗生素等方面的知识量却是惊人的。我们日常生活中很多可供享受的东西都是以动物研究为基础的。动物实验可不是外行或者粗心的人能做的事情。”博士回答道。
“可我看过一些录像带,不同的研究设施中有许多东西都很不专业,动物的状况看上去很糟糕。”又一名高中生插话道。
“看来我们触及到了二个有趣的话题,那就进会议室做进一步的讨论吧。”
