25、On June 26, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could now read the whole “map” of the human body: DNA.DNA is something that everybody has, and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family.It is because of small things named “genes” in our body.In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Mattaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts.Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.
Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people.Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs.Man will have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technology (技术) isn’t limited in use.
【1】When did we first know why we look like other people in our family?
A. In 1860. B. In 1953. C. In 1961. D. In 2000.

【3】What did the two scientists first discover in 1961?
A. The “map” of DNA. B. A new illness.
C. The language of DNA. D. A message of DNA.
【4】What can we do if we understand some “words” of the language inside the body?
A. Make people get new jobs. B. Make medicine for new illnesses.
C. Make maps of human. D. Make people less attractive.
【5】What do people think about DNA technology?
A. It can cause good or bad results. B. It can cause good results.

28、 We sat on the swing (秋千)enjoying the warm summer air, truly without a care in the world. Cody, my 6-year-old son laughed, as he swung h【1】 than me. His laugh made me smile. Afterwards, we went for a walk. As we were walking, Cody looked up at me and said, “Today is the best day, isn't it?” T【2】 I didn't understand the meaning of his words, I still smiled at him and r【3】, “Yes, you're right.” I then started thinking about what we had done that day? We didn't really do anything s【4】. There was nothing we did that cost any money. It was just a c【5】 day.
But then, I found out my p【6】. So often, we wait for our “best days” without r【7】 that “today is our best day” or we say, “when I get this”, or, “if only this”, or, “when I have more money, I will...”, and we forget to live every day, to enjoy today. So often, we just wait for the “best days”. And the most terrible thing is that we are used to c【8】 the best thing with money.
We should be more like c【9】. They truly live in the moment! They don't need expensive things to make them happy and they can always enjoy the simple p【10】 in their life. There is a saying, “Carpe Diem” which means, “Seize the Day”. As we get older, we need to remember this saying and enjoy every day. Live each moment to its fullest!

“How about your crops?” God asked. Joe ______ the crops, without a word. “Do not you have your wish to control the weather?” God asked again. “Yes, but I just can’t understand it. I have given them what they need. How could it be?” Joe ______. “That’s because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots stronger.
