問題詳情:
Imagine being face-to-face with a woolly mammoth(猛獁). It would be quite a sight. Scientists believe it would tower at 11 feet tall. The woolly mammoth would have a powerful trunk and sharp tusks that stretch up to 10 feet. Its thick hair would be up to three feet long. It would weigh six tons—about as much as a bus.
You’ve probably never seen a giant furry elephant before. Actually, you definitely haven’t. The species has been extinct for thousands of years.
But a few years from now, you might be able to see a woolly mammoth for yourself. Scientists believe they have the technology to recreate one.
A team of South Korean and Russian scientists plan to clone a woolly mammoth. How will they do it? Several woolly mammoth bodies have already been discovered in Siberia, an icy region in Russia. The scientists plan to take cells from these frozen mammoths.
The scientists believe the whole process will take five years. Many scientists and animal lovers can’t wait. It will be so exciting, they think, to be able to bring back to life a creature that has been extinct fro thousands of years. People would travel from around the world for the chance to see a woolly mammoth. By observing the way the creature looks and acts, scientists might make brand-new discoveries about the history of animal life.
Other experts aren’t so sure about the woolly mammoth project. One big question is what to do with a mammoth. The Earth has changed in the thousands of years since these animals roamed the planet. Where would the creature live, and would it be able to survive in today’s climate?
Then there’s the cost: some believe that the money being spent on the experiment could be better spent on other important scientific projects, such as fighting diseases.
But the South Korean and Russian scientists are sticking to their plan. They admit they have a big challenge ahead. There is no guarantee that they will succeed, but they’re hopeful.

Dear Mike,
How is everything going with you? As for me, I have a great news to share—I will finally get to be in a book!
Last Saturday morning, Dad and I was eating breakfast when we heard a knock on the door. I rushed to open the door. It was our neighbor, Miss Lydia, whom draws pictures for children’s books. Miss Lydia greeted me with a smile, looking happily to see me. “Hello, Miss Lydia. Won’t you come?” I said, remembered my best manners. Miss Lydia came in, joined us at the breakfast table, and said to my dad that he would like both of us to be her models in one of her book! I jump off my chair and run to give Miss Lydia a big hug.
I hope my first model experience will be both enjoyable or unforgettable. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
