美洲土著人 最早一批人具体是在什么时候来到我们现在了解的加 利福尼亚地区的，谁也说不清楚。然而，可能至少在15,000 年以前美洲土著人就住在加利福尼亚了。科学家们认为这 些迁居者通过一条史前时期曾经存在的大陆桥穿越北极地 区的白令海峡到达美洲。欧洲人在16世纪来到这里后，土 著人遭受了极大的苦难，成千上万的人被杀害或被迫成为 奴隶。此外，欧洲人带来了疾病，使许多人染病而死。不 过，还是有一些人经历了这些恐怖时期而活下来了。今天 住在加利福尼亚的美洲土著人比任何其他州的都要多。

温馨提示：本文是议论文。 写议论文的摘要时， 要扣 住文章的观点及作者持某种观点的理由。
Part B Retelling Though the popularity of the film Jurassic Park showed ordinary people interested in cloning extinct animals, in fact, it is still a long way to clone mammals because it is a new science and its story just began seriously in the 1995s. So it is impossible to clone extinct animals like dinosaurs. The reason for it is lack of perfect DNA, enough genetic variation and it is also unfair to clone any animal that would have to live in a zoo. After all, the zoo is not a natural environment for a wild animal.
