Question

【题目】 The CSIRO is an Australian science agency (组织). The scientists in the agency got a lovely letter a few days ago. It said:

Hello Lovely Scientist,

My name is Sophie and I am 7 years old. My dad told me about the scientists at the CSIRO. Your skills surprised me a lot. Would you like to make a dragon for me? I would like it if you can, but if you can’t, that’s fine. I will call it Toothless if it is a girl, and if it is a boy, I will name it Stuart. I will keep it in my garden where there is lots of space. I will feed it fish. I will play with it every weekend when I am free.

Love from Sophie

After hearing from Sophie, the scientists “made” the CSIRO’s first dragon at Lab(实验室) 22 in Melbourne.
