Drugs come in different forms．However，can you imagine that drugs come in chicken eggs？A team of scientists from England prove that it can come true．They have developed special chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside．These special drugs can help treat some kinds of diseases．Until now，they have made two kinds of drugs．One drug can treat skin cancer and the other can treat a nerve disease （神经性疾病）．

Certain drugs are produced by the special chickens inside their egg whites．These drugs are made of proteins（蛋白质） which can be found in animals'skin，hair，milk and meat．The scientists also use DNA technology to make sure that the drugs are only inside the egg whites．In this way，the chickens can stay healthy．

Besides egg whites，drugs made of proteins come in milk of cows and sheep．Compared with cows and sheep，the special chickens have ascendancyover them．First，they are cheaper to raise．Second，they need less room and grow faster．

These special chicken can pass on their drug﹣producing ability to their children．So far，five generations （代） of the special chickens have appeared．But scientists may need more time to make the drugs perfect．It's said that scientists will realize their dream in five to ten years．

C．	What Is a Scrapbook
D．	How to Make a Scrapbook

Dear Rita，    How are you？ Last time you asked me about the greatest invention in my eyes． I have also discussed it with my best friends， Anna， Sue and Kris． We have different ideas． Anna thinks it is the high﹣speed railway； Sue， the shared bike； Kris， the online shopping； and I prefer the Internet．    The Internet is just like a net， and it connects us with the world． In the past， it was nearly impossible for people to communicate immediately with people in other countries． They had to spend a long time to reach their destinations （目的地）， and not everyone could do that． But the Internet has made the impossible possible． Now we can communicate with foreigners online．    The Internet also helps us know what is happening around the world， and has made our life and work easier． In recent years， shopping online is very popular． We can just stay at home and buy what we need online． We can also do online office work and distance education． Besides， we can watch movies， listen to music and even play games to relax ourselves on the Internet．    So， I think that the Internet is one of the greatest inventions． It has changed our world! Although there are still many problems with the Internet， they will be solved in the near future． As a student we should make good use of the Internet!                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Yours，                                                                                                                                              Martin
