Do you dream of giving your dog’s genes a chance to live on in cloned bodies? The firm Sooam is willing to clone your pets if you are not expecting them to copy the personality .

Sooam has been cloning pets for years . The task is now priced at ＄100,000, but the winner will receive a discount .Applicants need to send a 500-word essay with pet photos , Or have pet videos of more than five minutes ,and other material explaining why their pets should be cloned .

There’re no the breed ,sex ,size or age of the dog.

Sooam was among the pioneers of dog cloning and also successfully cloned other canines ( 犬科动物 ), such as wolves , This time its researchers will extract DNA out of a skin cell from the dog and put it into another dog’s egg cell . The embryo ( 胚胎) will then be put into a surrogate ( 代理的 ) mother ,which will give birth to a cloned puppy about two months later.

“I think that the personality is really what most people want to clone ,” said John Woestendiek , a dog cloning investigator .“But I don’t think it is clone-able.” Just like Sooam , BioArts promoted its services in America with a competition offering free cloning .it eventually cloned a rescue dog ,but BioArts said although pet cloning might enjoy high media attention , the market for it was small.

My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, \"How would you like to go to Eton?\"

\"You bet,\" I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.

This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be

5

dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.

It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness. \"Oh, he doesn't want to go away,\" said my mother, \"You shouldn't go on like this.‖ ―It's up to him,\" said my father. \"He can make up his own mind.\"

46. The house the writer's family lived in was ________.

A. the best they could afford B. right for their social position C. for showing off D. rather small 47. His father sold his Roils-Royce because ________.

A. it made him feel uneasy B. it was too old to work well C. it was too expensive to possess D. it was too cheap 48. The writer's father enjoyed being different as long as ________.

A. it drew attention to him B. it didn't bring him in arguments C. it was understood as a joke D. there was no danger of his showing off 49. What was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton? A. He was very unhappy. B. He didn't believe it. C. He was delighted. D. He had mixed feelings. 50. We can know from the passage that ________. A. Children who can go to Eton are very famous B. Children can go to Eton if they will

C. It is very difficult for a child to get admitted by Eton

D. Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton

Dog owners now have a little help understanding their furry(皮毛的) friends . A new device called Bow-Lingual ―translates‖ dog barks into English , Korea or Japanese.

Bow-Lingual’s Japanese inventors spent much time and money analyzing dog barks . They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions : happiness , sadness , frustration , anger , assertion（主张，要求） and desire .

Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog’s collar . The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner . When the dogs barks , the unit displays translated phrases .

Some people have scoffed（嘲笑） at Bow-Lingual. ―Who would pay US$ 120 to read a dog’s mind?‖ they ask .

But those who have purchased Bow-Lingual praise the device . Pet owner Keiko Egawa , of Japan , says it helps her empathize(移情) with her dog , Harry . ―Before we go to the park , he always says he wants to play,‖ says Egawa , ―and after a walk , he always says he is hungry.‖

Bow –Lingual is not yet available in Chinese . So you’d better keep studying Studio Classroom , or soon your dog may know more English than you do ! 51．This passage is mainly talking about .

A．Bow-Lingual’s inventors B．dog barks and their different emotions C．talking dogs D．a little help for dog owners 52．Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage ? A．Dog owners now can understand their dogs better .

To be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.

In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter (反对) the myth that they are not responsible. \"People think we're treated too kindly and ruined, \"says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. \"But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get.\"

Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, coauthor of the book The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable (易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new one with more security. \"The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it, \"he says, \"After all, I am left with that responsibility.\"

In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the Charge made against them is unjust.

56. It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards only children is _______.

A. ironic B. objective C. unfriendly D. unjust 57. It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ___________.

A. found a support group for their only children B. do volunteer work to help their only children C. let their only children make all the decisions alone

8

D. set good examples for their only children

58. Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ___________.

A. is the only one who cares about her B. doesn't want to leave her alone C. wants to share the responsibility with her D. is worried about her safety 59. It is quite usual now for a working mother to ____________.

A. spend all her time and money on her only child B. be responsible for bringing up her only child C. have and bring up only one child D. devote all her energy to her job

60. The main idea of the passage is that ________.

A. only children are ruined and irresponsible B. only children have to face many challenges

C. most only children want to have brothers and sisters

D. most only children share their responsibility with their parents
