But a dog has a much shorter life about 12 to 15 years long than humans, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone (克隆) of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company. The company has already cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it first discovered the technology in 2005. Now, it has introduced their business to UK dog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell(细胞) from a living dog or one that has just died. At the same time, another dog is chosen to provide an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant (植入) the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a small dog over the following two months.It takes less than a day to complete everything, but it comes at a shockingly high price around 63,000 (569,700 yuan). But if you cant afford it now, you can also save the cells in a laboratory and use them at a later date.However, as magical as cloning might sound, no one is sure that the cloned dog will be perfect. Just like human twins, they share the exact same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “clone-able”. Besides genes, personality is also decided by upbringing (后天教育) and environment, which are the two things we need to consider.Dog CloningThe reason for its appearanceHumans feel the great sadness from the 1 . of their loved dogs.The 2 . of this technologyA South Korean company, which has 3 . to clone at least 400 dogs since thirteen years ago.The 4 . of dog cloningFirst, take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.Next, choose another dog to provide an egg.Then, use the DNA from the skin cell instead of the DNA in the egg and implant the egg into the womb of a female dog.Finally, the egg grows into a small dog over the following two months.The cost of dog cloningAround 63,000 (569,700 yuan).The imperfections of dog cloningAlthough the DNA is the same, the personality can be different.

A good gardener will cut away the overgrown and unwanted branches(树枝). They can make the trees more beautiful and healthier. But sometimes wed better leave the trees to grow in their own way. Because the inexperienced gardeners will damage(毁坏) the trees.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees in good shape or size. Maybe people want to get a tree of the right height and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches. Then people can make the trees appearance thick or give it a special shape.Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead branches. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up (封闭)the center and so stopping the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy chance for disease, but the wound will heal(愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is in danger. Every gardener should try to reduce that danger of death as soon as possible. It is important to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, because healing will be slowed down by roughness(粗糙). You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then pain it with one of the special materials. Pruning is usually done in winter, because you can see the shape of the tree clearly and also it is very unlikely(未必的) that the cuts you make will bleed. If this happens, it is impossible to paint them properly(合适地).Pruning treesA good gardener prunes a tree when it is16 . 17 . for pruning treesFirst, make the trees in18 . shape or size.Second, make the trees19 .

It is the holiday in the USA. Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner. People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion(团聚).

An obvious reason is lack of sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep. Homework is a daily occurrence for most students, one that can take three to four hours per night. A teenager who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in. Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example, all contribute to (促成) teens having less time for both homework and sleep. Sometimes teens lack sleep because of after-school jobs that are taken on to earn extra money for college, family expenses, or simply for clothes. Physical problems are another factor that can cause students to fall asleep in class. For example, insomnia, which may keep a student up at night, causing exhaustion (疲惫不堪) during class hours, is a serious problem that may require medical attention. Medical evidence also supports the idea that each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleep pattern. Unluckily, these body clocks do not always work according to school timetables.The effects of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear (使受喜爱) yourself to teachers. In addition, it is highly possible that other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the most harmful effects of sleeping in class is missing out on important points. In the long run, sleepers may end up failing classes.Since teens are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably remain an all-too-common occurrence. It will continue until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work, while still finding enough time to sleep.IntroductionTimes have changed, 61 . falling asleep in class is still quite common.CausesLack of sleep To 62 . doing their homework, students may have to work three to four hours every night.
