【答案】Dear Peter,

I’m very glad to receive your letter of May 2nd, from which I know your situation and feel so sorry for you. Your pet dog cannot be brought back to life and you might as well cheer up.

For your reference, I’m writing to put forward some suggestions concerning your cloning a pet dog. Personally, it may not be suitable for you to do so. First, a cloned dog is just similar in appearance. For example, it may take a long time for a cloned pet and you to adapt to each other. Then, most cloning experiments end in failure and there is a great risk of cloning animals at present. Besides, cloned animals are too weak to resist diseases and usually die at an early age. Mostly importantly, cloning usually costs too much, which isn’t better than adopting. Anyway, it is up to you whether you decide on cloning.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Li Hua

【题目】It never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.

Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.

It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.

Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.
