The idea of cloning your pet sounds like a laughable waste of money, because it is. But it starts to seem a little less laughable when your own beloved pet starts getting older. If I had had a few hundred thousand dollars to spare, I know I would have half-seriously considered it for my dear little cat, who died last year. One couple that does happen to have a few hundred dollars to spare is Barry Diller and Diane, who have reportedly cloned their beloved Jack Russell Terrier (a kind of dog), Shannon, and now have two identical Jack Russell Terrier named Deena and Evita.

When your pet dies, you just want your pet back, or at least as close a copy as you can get. So it’s really no surprise that of the around 600 dogs cloned by Sooam Biotech Reaserch Foundation most were cloned for sad pet owners. The lab in Seoul, South Korea, is now the only place on the planet in the business of cloning pet dogs for pet owners.

But, in fact, the technology won’t give you your pet back. There don’t yet appear to be any studies on the behaviour of cloned pets, but research on cloned cows and pigs has so far shown marked differences in behaviour and even looks in cloned animals. The DNA is exactly the same, but there are still differences in personality and appearance.

Even if Diller and Von Furstenburg raise their new dogs in the exactly same environment in the exactly same way that they raised Shannon, the new dogs will still behave differently. “The promise of pet cloning is that your cloned pet is going to behave and look like the one you already have --- and that will not be the case,” said Professor Jorge Piedrahita at N.C. State. “We have cloned animals that were raised in the same environment, but they still didn’t act the same.”

1.What can we learn about the lab in Seoul?

A. It was set up by some pet owners.　　 B. It has cloned hundreds of pet dogs.

C. It charges nothing for its services.　　 D. It has cloned a cat for the author.

2.Why does the author mention the studies on cloned cows and pigs?

A. To explain why farm animals are cloned.

B. To discuss why pet cloning is so popular.

C. To show cloned animals are very different from each other.

D. To prove cloning is not a good way to bring pets from the dead.

3.What will the couple be likely to find out about their new dogs?

A. They’ll grow in a very strange way.　　 B. They’ll dislike their new environment.

C. They’ll act differently from Shannon.　　 D. They’ll have the same personality as Shannon.

4.What was Piedrahita’s attitude towards the lab’s promise of pet cloning?

A. He disbelieved it.　　 B. He was worried about it.

C. He was curious about it.　　 D. He showed much interest in it.

How do you make a restaurant business an overnight success at the age of 52? Ray Kroc said, “I was an overnight success, but 30 years is a long, long night.”

In 1917, 15-year-old Ray Kroc lied about his age to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver in World War Ⅰ, but the war ended before he completed his training. He then worked as a piano player, and a paper cup salesman. In 1954, he visited restaurant in San Bernardino, California. There he found the small but successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and was surprised by their effective (有效的) operation. The McDonald’s brothers produced a limited menu, concentrating on just few items—burgers, fries and drinks—which allowed them to focus on quality and quick service.

They were looking for new franchising agent (特许经销商) and Kroc saw chance. In 1955, he founded McDonald’s System, Inc. By 1958, MeDonald’s had sold its 100 millionth hamburger.

In 1961, Kroc started a training program later called Hamburger University, at a new McDonald’s restaurant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. There, franchisees (特许证持有人) were trained on the proper methods for running successful McDonald’s’ restaurant. Hamburger University used a research and development laboratory to develop new cooking, freezing, storing and serving methods. Today, more than 275,000 franchisees, managers, and employees have graduated from the program.

Right up until he died on January 14, 1984, Ray Kroc never stopped working for McDonald’s. His legacy provides McDonald’s customers with great tasty, inexpensive food; staff and franchisees with chances for growth; and suppliers with a shared promise to provide the highest quality food.

Back in March, when the COVID-19 virus had just started its deadly influence across the country and people were terrified about a lack of every daily necessity, Jonny Blue focused on one particularly urgent need. Blue, a 33-year-old doctor saw reports of people buying and storing toilet paper. He came up with a simple yet clever solution.

One Saturday morning, Blue took a piece of cardboard, wrote “Share Your Toilet Paper” on it in huge letters, and camped out on the street corner. “It just inspired me to remind people that if you have a lot of something, that probably means there are people who don’t have very much of it because you took it all,” Blue said. “So sharing it is probably a good thing to keep in mind.”

The response was immediate and positive, with motorists honking horns(鸣笛) in support. Drivers stopped to drop off spare rolls of toilet paper, and, just as quickly, Blue handed them out.

“This guy said he just ran out and was going to a bunch of stores and couldn’t find any,” Blue said as cars went by. “Somebody had given me some, so I gave it to him. He was excited. He was like, ‘Do you want me to pay you?’ I said, ‘No, man. Take it.’”

A moment later, a driver in a white pickup truck slowed down just enough to take out a roll to add to Blue’s collections.

“People are loving it,” Blue said. “They’re honking, smiling, laughing. It’s kind of a hard time right now. People want a sense of community.”

1.What were people worried about at the beginning of the COVID-19 virus?

A.Unfriendly neighbors. B.Expensive toilet paper.

C.Lack of medical support. D.Not enough daily necessities.

2.What is the purpose of Blue’s action?

A.To stop buying and storing. B.To encourage toilet paper sharing.

C.To advise people to save toilet paper. D.To help people live a healthy lifestyle.

3.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to ?

A.Drivers. B.Letters. C.Motorists. D.Rolls of toilet paper.

4.Which of the following best describes Blue?

A.Professional. B.Humorous. C.Warm-hearted. D.Outgoing.

5.What can be a best title for the text?

A.The Toilet Paper Sharing B.Lack of Daily Necessities

C.Influences of COVID-19 D.Useful Advice from a Doctor
