But I, aged 50, got it!This led to a bit of a puzzle as I didnt have children or grandchildren to give it to.I wanted the bike to go to someone who didnt have the opportunity to own such a wonderful thing. I contacted the shelter (where I occasionally volunteered in
16、the kitchen) and while there was a big need for a sweet bike, there was also the potential for it creating conflict.I looked elsewhere until I found out about a couple in our church who had been going through a hard time in their marriage because of drugs and alcohol. They walked to our church (they

In animal cloning, animals are produced in a lab by using DNA that is taken from the cells of a naturallyborn animal. To clone Zhongzhong and Huahua, scie
23、ntists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) first removed the nucleus (细胞核) from a monkeys egg cell. They then put another nucleus taken from the monkeys body cells into the egg cell.
