摘要：10．The writer has written the letter to Dr Bamford to ． A．show how smart his cat is B．explain why he lives alone C．ask whether the scientist could clone his cat for him D．show what he wants to deal with his cat
I know you are a famous scientist who has done great work on cloning animals．Please excuse me for writing to you, but I need your help．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 lonely? No, because Cindy is with me．Every night we eat dinner together and watch TV．Cindy sits beside me and I feel very happy．I’m coaxed with her beautiful green eyes．She’s also very smart．Sometimes she thinks only about herself．But that’s what I like 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 losing Cindy．She is getting older and older．Cats don’t live so long as humans, of course, so she will die before I do．I cannot imagine my life without Cindy．
Well, why not get another cat after Cindy dies? Impossible!No other cats ever replace 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 difficulty．Luckily, I am a rich man．I don’t care how much money I will spend cloning Cindy．I think it’s ok to clone pets．It’s not cloning humans．
What do you think? Could you clone Cindy?
Sincerely,
A rich man
