Module 5 Cloning Cultural corner and Task 选修六 Listen to the tape and pay more attention to the words you can’t pronounce correctly. Look at the following pictures to learn more about Aldous Huxley and Brave New world. 阿道司·赫胥黎 Aldous Huxley 阿道司·赫胥黎（Aldous Huxley）的《美丽新世界》 是二十世纪最经典的反乌托邦文学之一，与乔治·奥威尔的《1984》、扎米亚京的《我们》并称为“反乌托邦”三书，在国内外思想界影响深远。 书中引用了广博的生物学、心理学知识，为我们描绘了虚构的福特纪元632年即公元2532年的社会。这是一个人从出生到死亡都受着控制的社会。在这个“美丽新世界”里，由于社会与生物控制技术的发展，人类已经沦为垄断基因公司和政治人物手中的玩偶。这种统治甚至从基因和胎儿阶段就开始了。 这是一个有阶级、有社会分工的社会，人类经基因控制孵化，被分为五个阶级，分别从事劳心、劳力、创造、统治等不同性质的社会活动。人们习惯于自己从事的任何工作，视恶劣的生活和工作环境与极高的工作强度为幸福。因此，这是一个快乐的社会，这种快乐还有别的措施保障，比如睡眠教学，催眠术被广泛用来校正人的思维，国家还发放叫做索麻的精神麻醉药物让人忘掉不愉快的事情。 Read the text and answer the questions. 1.
