    Many people consider their pets members of the family and are very sad when they die, but what if you could clone your dog, cat or bird?

    　　A scientist in New Orleans, who has proved his ability to clone other animals, is now offering the possibility to pet owners here in Wisconsin.

    　　Scientists have not been able to clone dogs, cats or other pets, but if and when the time comes, several companies will be ready and able to do the job．

    　　The question is: Are you ready to clone your pet? Brett Reggio is betting on it. He is working on his Ph D at Louisiana State University. He's successfully cloned a goat five times and wants to try the process on family pets. So he started a business called Lazaron. “What Lazaron provides is the first step in the cloning process.” He said．“It's for curing and storing the fiberglass cells that will be used for cloning.”

    　　“Your first reaction is yeah! I think I'd like that,” said Donna Schacht, a pet owner.

    　　“I don't believe you can ever replace a special love,” pet owner Paulette Callation said．

    　　Most pet owners will tell you freezing your pet's DNA in hopes of one day cloning it is a personal decision.

    　　Scientists say that cloning your own pet doesn't mean that the offspring will have the same intelligence, temperament or other qualities that your pet has.

    　　阅读理解：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项．

    　　Americans love pets. Many pet owners treat these lovely friends as part of the family. Sometimes they spice up (增加情趣) their pets' lives with entertaining videos and amusing toys. If they have an eye for fashion, pet owners can dress their pets in stylish clothes. For special occasions, they can use perfume to make their dogs smell well.

    　　Leading a dog's life in America isn't such a bad thing. Many grocery stores sell various pet foods to owners eager to please their pets. In Houston, Texas, dogs can have their own dinner delivered to their homes. Well-to-do dogs can attend doggy day-care centers while their owners work. Pets can even accompany their owners on vacation. Some hotels are beginning to accommodate both man and beast.

    　　Beneath all these things, there lies a basic American belief that pets have a right to be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare organizations exist in America. They provide care and adoption services for homeless animals. Veterinarians (兽医) give animals an unbelievable care for an unbelievable price. People can even buy health insurance for their pets. And when it is time to say good-bye, owners can bury their pets in a respectable cemetery (墓地).

    　　The average American enjoys having pets around, and for good reason. Researchers have discovered that interaction with animals lowers a person's blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from thieves and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help rid the home of unwanted pests. Pets even encourage social relationships: they give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.

    　　Pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pie. To Americans, pets are not just property, but part of the family. After all, pets are “people”, too.

    [　　]

    A．look down upon
    B．look up to

    [　　]

    A．medical care for animals is free

    B．the price of medical care for pets is extremely low

    C．Americans believe that pets have a right to be treated well

    D．there are many animal welfare organizations in America

    3．What is the main idea of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Americans have good reasons to love pets.

    B．Pets are part of American families.

    C．Pets have a comfortable life in America.

    D．Americans have a childish love for pets.

    　　Recent studies suggest that family arrangements in Western societies have not changed as much in the last few centuries as is generally believed．Yet most sociologists agree that in modern societies, there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support from relatives．Parents and children often live apart from other relatives, and seldom visit them．Also, the family moves when a parent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a better neighbourhood．Together, loneliness and mobility(迁移)force immediate family members to depend heavily on one another for affection and companionship．

    　　Because the family is one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modem societies, a high, percentage of people continue to marry, even though it is possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying．On the other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important, families are more likely to break up if the husband’s or wife’s emotional(情感的)needs are not met within the family circle-even if al1 other family functions(功能)are being satisfactorily performed, and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the touchstone of the modem family．

    family members are separated from each other because of lack of support from relatives

    　　There’s a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella．At first I couldn’t stand it, now I’m used to it．

    　　I don’t know his name．I know he’s average in appearance, wears a gray suit, and has a common face．I met him five years ago one hot morning when I was sitting on a tree-shaded bench in Palermo Park, reading the paper．Suddenly I felt something touch my head．It was the very same man who now, as I’m writing, keeps hitting me, mechanically(机械地)and impassively, with an umbrella．

    　　On that occasion I turned around filled with anger．He just kept on hitting me．I asked him if he was crazy, he didn’t even seem to hear me．Then I threatened to call a policeman．Calmly, cool as a cucumber, he stuck with his task．After a few moments of hesitation, and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude, I stood up and hit him on the nose．The man fell down, but he immediately got back on his feet, obviously with great effort, and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella．His nose was bleeding and, at that moment, I felt sorry for him．I felt regret for having hit him so hard．After all, the man wasn’t exactly hitting me; he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella, not causing any pain at all．Of course, those taps were extremely bothersome．As we all know, when a fly lands on your forehead, you don’t feel any pain; what you feel is annoyance．Well then, that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time．

    　　Convinced that I was dealing with a madman, I tried to escape．But the man followed me, wordlessly continuing to hit me．So I began to run(I should point out that not many people run as fast as I do)．He took off after me, trying to land a blow．The man was out of breath so that I thought, if I continued to force him to run at that speed, he would drop dead right then and there．
