Not long ago , Richard Denniston found himself suffering the same pain that millions of other pet owners have faced . His little Scottish dog had a brain tumor（肿块）and would soon die. Like others who faced the problem before him , Denniston just wanted to end his pet’s suffering . However , he took one step further. Deniston , an expert who studies animals , collected a tiny skin sample from the dog and took it to his laboratory at Louisiana State University. There he cultivated it and froze it in liquid nitrogen. From that idea , Denniston started a new technology .Denniston’s company will save pet’s DNA ＄500，plus a monthly storage fee of Us ＄10, until cloning becomes a reality . Thanks mostly to the contribution of a California multimillionaire , that day may not be so far off. “It could happen extremely soon if everything went on well.”says Mark Westhusin , a professor leading a dog cloning team . Most experts put successful dog cloning a year to five years down the road . The cost is bound to be expensive at first , but it would eventually drop to a few thousand dollars. Since Dolly , the sheep which was first cloned in 1997 ,cattle ,goats ,mice and monkeys have been cloned in labs . Pets are likely to be next. “I really believe that the technology is going to become available for many species in the near future ,”Denniston says . 1. After his pet died ,Richard Denniston_______.

Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001 , I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist . I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died , so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father , or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him . In any case , I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画) much influenced by Krenkel and St. John for five years . For some strange reason , I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again , but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth , who quickly became my favorite artist . I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look . So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting . However , watercolors remained my first choice , and I think I did my best work there , showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions . Art is now together with my piano playing and reading . There is a time of everything in my world , and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do . As Confucius once said , “ At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire .” 1. What is the text mainly about ? A. Learning to paint in later life . B. How to paint wathercolors . C. An artist-turned teacher . D. Life after retirement . 2. The author started drawing again in 1995 because__________. A. he hoped to draw a picture of his father B. he couldn’t stop missing his father C. he had more time after retirement D. he liked animals and landscapes 3. We can infer from the text that the author_______. A. had been taught by Krenkel and St.John B. painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 years C. believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolor D. started his retirement life at the age of seventy 4. How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist? A. Very enjoyable B. A bit regretful C. Rather busy D. Fairly dull
