Dear Dr. Bamford,
     I know you are a famous scientist who has done great work on cloning (克隆) animals. Please excuse me
for writing to you, but I need your  1 . Let me explain.
     I am a 58-year-old man. I'm very rich. I live in a large house. My wife died three years ago; we didn't have
children.
     So, am I  2 ? No, because Cindy is with me. Every night we eat dinner together and watch TV. Cindy sits
beside me  3 I feel very happy. I'm fascinated (着迷的) with her beautiful green eyes. She's also very smart.
Sometimes she thinks only about herself. But that's what I  4  about her. She is quite a beautiful Siamese cat.
There is no other cat like her in the whole world.
     These days I worry about  5 Cindy. She is getting older and older. Cats don't live  6  humans, of course,
so she will die before I do. I cannot imagine my life  7  Cindy.
     Well, why not get another cat after Cindy dies?  8 ! No other cat can even replace (替代) her.
      I have been thinking about this: Clone Cindy. Scientists are able to clone sheep and mice and other animals.
They should be able to clone cats without much  9 . Luckily, I am a rich man. I don't care how much money I
will spend cloning Cindy. I think  10  to clone pets. It's not cloning humans.
     What do you think? Could you clone Cindy?
                                                                                                                                             Sincerely
