I hold it _ in my teeth and paint or draw like that. It was a little strange for me at first, but it quickly became very easy. Reporter:I know you feel that you are first a painter and only secondly that you are a disablbed person, but can we talk first about your handicap?

It is difficult for me to do some things like getting dressed. Reporter: Were you born with your handicap?

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A: Recently, the word "clone" appeared very often in the newspapers. Do you know its meaning? B: Not exactly, I read a report in yesterday's newspaper. It said there was a Scottish Dolly. It was the first time that a cloned lamb had been made from an adult sheep. A: Actually, the word "clone" means to produce the "same" animal by taking cells from an adult one, I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only keep a small number of sheep, cows or horses. B: There's more to it. Recently there have been some people who ever want to clone humans. A: It seems interesting. But do you think it is possible to do that? B: No, I don't think so. First I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body are dead already. A: Then we can clone a living person? B: Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a replica , not real you. It is only something, not a human. A: Now, you mean that a real human can speak, think and create, and these abilities cannot be cloned? B: True enough! I think the main purpose of Dr. Lan Wilmot, the "father" of Dolly, is to make better animals. It has nothing to do with human cloning. ,. Question: Dolly was the name of _ . Options: A: an adult sheep B: a person who did cloning C: a replica D: a lamb that was cloned recently
