When he died last year, the couple were devastated (使垮掉)and they decided to get a clone produced by a South Korean laboratory.The biotech (生物技術(shù)) firm Best Friends Again claim that Lancelot Encore, as they39。ve named the new puppy (小狗), is the world39。s first mercially cloned dog. The laboratory in South Korea, BioArts, includes a scientist that lost his research professorship at Seoul University in 2004, after fraudulently* claiming he39。d cloned human embryos*(胚胎) and stem cells*(干細(xì)胞).The new owners here in Florida say they39。re happy with their new dog and don39。t plan to clone any others.It39。s thought that between three and four million unwanted dogs(流浪狗)are killed at shelters across the US every year.A: …about the world’s first mercially cloned dog.B: F T F F TNews Item 2Five years ago President Bush set out his lofty vision (極高的設(shè)想)of sending astronauts back to the Moon by the year 2020.

Now a panel of space experts says that39。s pretty much pie in the sky*(空想的計(jì)劃).Their report, missioned by President Obama, says the current US human spaceflight programme appears to be on an unsustainable trajectory*.

The Alzheimer39。s Research Trust, which funded the study, says more people than ever retire later in life to avert*(避免) financial hardship, but there may be a silver lining*(一線希望): lower dementia risk.
