Unit 3 Science and natureThe EC approves the sale of cloned young into the food chain克隆动物早已不再“犹抱琵琶半遮面”。为了保护克隆的福利，欧盟委员会这次走得更远……The European Commission has published a report approving the right of member states to sell cloned animals' young and their products into the food chain.The commission said a ban would not be proper in terms of protecting animals' welfare and public health.It added that a clone traceable system would be needed ， because food from the clones' young“cannot be distinguished from food from other animals”．The move could cause a big change for the Food Standards Agency(FSA) which at present forbids the sale of food from the clones' young without a license.Steven Innes ， a farmer ， was found to have done so last year and was punished.With the commission's proposal，Mr.Innes wouldn't have been punished.Indeed all farmers in the UK would be able to buy materials from clones and sell their products into the food chain.George Lyon said，“It's clear that the FSA is out of line with the rest of the member states in how it explains the present rules and，of course，under these new rules，it still is out of line.So hopefully they will come to their senses and see they do have to move on this subject.”[阅读障碍词]1．approve v． 同意，批准2．clone vt. 克隆3．food chain n. 食物链4．traceable adj. 可追踪的5．out of line(with sb./sth.)与……不同/不一致6．present adj. 目前的，现在的[诱思导读]阅读短文，回答下列问题。1．What's the passage mainly about?
