Please excuse me for writing to you, but I need your help. Let me explain. I am a 58-year-old man. I’m very rich. I live in a large house. My wife died three years ago; we didn’t have children. So, am I lonely? No, because Cindy is with me. Every night we eat dinner together and watch TV. Cindy sits beside me and I feel very happy. I’m coaxed with her beautiful green eyes. She’s also very smart. Sometimes she thinks only about herself. But that’s what I like about her. She is quite a beautiful Siamese cat. There is no other cat like her in the whole world. These days I worry about losing Cindy. She is getting older and older. Cats don’t live so long as humans, of course, so she will die before I do. I cannot imagine my life without Cindy. Well, why not get another cat after Cindy dies? Impossible! No other cats can ever replace her and so far I haven’t been attracted by other animals. I have been thinking about this: Clone Cindy. Scientists are able to clone sheep and mice and other animals. They should be able to clone cats without much difficulty. Luckily, I am a rich man. I don’t care how much money I will spend cloning Cindy. I think it’s OK to clone pets. It’s not cloning humans. What do you think? Could you clone Cindy? Looking forward to your early reply. Sincerely yours, A rich man 73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word coaxed.
