         Not long ago, Richard Denniston found himself suffering the same pain that millions of other pet owners
    have faced. His little dog had a brain tumor (肿块) and would soon die. Like others who faced the problem
    before him, Denniston just wanted to end his pet's suffering.
        However, he took one step further.
        Denniston, an expert who studies animals collected a tiny skin sample (小块皮肤样本) from the dog and
    took it to his laboratory at Louisiana State University. Denniston started a new technology. Denniston's
    company will save pet's DNA for US $500, plus a monthly storage fee (保存费) of US $10, until cloning
    becomes a reality (现实).
         "It could happen soon if everything went on well," says Mark Westhusin, a professor leading a dog
    cloning team. Most experts put successful dog cloning a year to five years down the road. The cost may
    be expensive at first, but it would drop at last.
         Since Dolly the Sheep was first cloned in 1996, cattle, goats, mice and monkeys have been cloned in labs.
    Pets are likely to be next.

        One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western
    tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
    Afternoon tea 
        People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th
    centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for
    several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these
    two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for
    an afternoon meal between four and five o'clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was
    served to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates,
    and sliver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social
    occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
    Will you come for coffee? 
         Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words "Will you come for coffee?"
    to mean "Would you like to come to my home for a chat (聊天)?" Normally, several different drinks such as
    tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what
    you would like. However, you will not normally be served wine at a "coffee" party.
    Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange
         In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to
    coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange
    (股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.

         American eating is funny. People in America eat almost everything with a fork. And it seems that holding
    a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is thought to be against good table manners.
         The system is that if it is necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hands, and cut off a
    piece of meat or others. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hands, and then transfer
    the food to their mouths with the fork. This is clearly funny, but it is considered good manners.
         There are several results of this system. First, if it is not necessary to use a knife, Americans don't use one,
    because this greatly complicates (使复杂化) things. Therefore, sometimes they will try to cut things like
    potatoes and even bacon with a fork. Second, since only one implement (器具) is being used, food has to be
    chased around the plate with the fork. Third, tables are usually laid with one knife and two forks. The outside
    fork is for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the
    salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remember to save it for the meat.
