We have wins and we have losses and, occasionally, they are hard to tell apart. Some people understand this instinctively（本能地） ， while others struggle. For most of u
9、s, learning not to do the thing were used to requires effort and discomfort. However, we should remind ourselves that we sometimes make mistakes, and that this doesnt mean weve failed. We need to accept that things will sometimes go wrong. Indeed, failure is part of life. We all fall occasionally, a
10、nd we normally get straight back up. And so, with my daughters words ringing in my ears, I decided to keep my nine nice nails. I feel annoyed every time I look at my hands , but I m determined to live with my choice. Its a perfect exercise in imperfection. Maybe soon, Ill switch off my computer the

15、elieved this was a perfect plan. Unknown to me, very bad weather was on its way and I was unable to warm him to take a shelter. With the combination of his dead phone battery and my dead car battery, I was running late and unable to communicate that to him. As a result, he was left alone and extreme
16、ly frightened. He became very upset outside the shop,exactly where Id told him to wait. This was when a beautiful older Vietnamese lady not only went to CHECH ON him, but took him inside her shop, calmed him down, got my phone number form him and called me. Five years later he continued to go into h

18、t sure if I can communicate all of this, but at least I will get to thank her. There are people I will not get to thank, though-the many kind strangers who have been there for Sam. And believe me, if youre wondering if this world is a complete mess right now , I m here to say that is not. So I guess

23、end”. But a dogs life is much shorter than humans, about 12 to 15 years long, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving their loving pet passes away. Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korea company, Sooam Bio
24、tech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever s9ince it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now , sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones. To clone
25、 a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog - 6 -or one that has just died. Meanwhile, another dog is selected to supply an egg.

27、antee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one. Just like identical twins of human, they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. “the spots on a Dalmatian(斑点狗) clone will be different, for example,” Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech,
28、 told The Guardian. Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “clneable”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both ranoom elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome,Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle Uni
29、versity, UK, told The Telegraph. Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all. Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out, “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go. 28. What service does Sooam Biotec

35、schologists Neil Lewis and Daphna Oyserman. Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make “Present Me”imagine exactly how “Future Me” would feel the night before a big paper was due, though “Present Me” hadnt started yet.
