阅读理解    A company in Beijing announced  that it had successfully bred(繁殖) China's first cloned(克隆) cat, reports China Science and Technology Daily.    "The kitten named Garlic(大蒜) was born on July 21, 2019, in a laboratory(实验室) of the biotechnology company Sinogene. It was born from an embryo(胚胎) carried by a surrogate(代孕) mother," said Wang Jidong, the CEO of Sinogene."Garlic has been verified（证实的） as a cloned cat by a third-party verification organization, and is currently in a good condition."    The birth of the kitten is the result of a cloning program that began last August. Chen Dayuan, a researcher from the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the technology developed by the company has a high success rate: one cloned kitten from four implanted surrogates.    It's rare(罕见的) for cats to be successfully cloned, said Shi Zhensheng, a professor from the Veterinary Medicine College at China Agricultural University. Cats have unique reproductive characteristics, which make them difficult to clone. The success of Sinogene marks a step forward in China's cloning research sector.    The cloning technology used to create Garlic will help China to build a genetic library of endangered species (物种), with the goal of breeding species under threat of extinction.
