15．（10分）In English，"as dead as a dodo"means someone or something is totally dead.But the dodo，a short and far bird that has been disappeared for hundreds of years，may not be dead anymore.
US company Colossal Biosciences said it would try to bring the dodo back to life.The bird used to live on the island of Mauritius（毛里求斯） in the Indian Ocean until the 17th century.So the best place to bring back dodos would be Mauritius.Bringing back dodos brings benefits to the plants and animals that have already lived there.
The company has found the genetic code（基因序列） of dodos from their dead bodies，To make currently living animals close to dodos，DNA should be changed.The Nicobar pigeon（尼柯巴鸠） will he used as the genetic base for the dodo.
The company also has plans for other extinct（灭绝的） animals，such as mammoth （猛犸象）.They believe that mammoths could help with climate change because they turn the wet tundra（ 苔原） into dry grasslands by eating the grass.
However，some people don't like the idea.In their opinion，there is more need to protect today's species than focus on animals of the past.From my point of view，it's always a wise idea to value what we have instead of the things we have lost.
