Knowing about yourself not only means finding out what you’re good at and what you like,but also means discovering what you’re not good at and what you don’t like.Both help you to see your aim in life.
Although most students would be unhappy if they failed a very difficult physics examination,they have in fact learned a lot about themselves.They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists.So failing can help a student to live a happier life if he learns something from it.They may then decide on their aims and choose the work they like and are fit for.
It is impossible to decide whether you like something until you have tried it.If you decide to play the piano,you need to take more than one lesson before knowing whether you are really interested in it or able to do well.It is not enough if you want to be a great pianist.You also have to like the hard practice and long training.If you enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work,forget it.
It’s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are young.Then you will find out what your true interests are.
【小题1】If you say you really know yourself, .
A.you know what you don’t like |
B.you know what you are good at |
C.you have no interest in your work |
D.you’ve got the whole picture of yourself |
A.if you have aim in life | B.if your decision is fight |
C.if you lead a happier life | D.if you learn something from it |
A.Failure is a better mirror |
B.Success is more helpful |
C.No one is fit for the job of a physical scientist |
D.Physics can help students live a better life |

【小题1】A
解析
A.The great impact and progress in genetic engineering B.Worries about privacy protection C.Worries about medical use of genetic engineering D.Genetic knowledge helps to predict diseases E.Genetic knowledge may not be properly used AB.The application of genetic engineering in the medical fields |
【小题1】__________
Current research into the human gene system is helping us understand why people have predispositions(易患某病倾向)to certain diseases.Knowing our genetic makeup can help us to judge whether or not we may be stricken by particular illness, such as cancer.Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what a child's genetic disorder will be.Scientists have already isolated and identified the genes responsible for the more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect human beings.
【小题2】__________
The implications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments or cures for serious diseases.Millions of people already use genetically engineered drugs to treat heart disease, cancer, AIDS, and strokes (中风). But with the research that is now being conducted, we may find cures to many more diseases.In the near future, genetic experimentation will also allow parents to select the traits of their children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be able to be controlled, and many parents are excited about this potential.
【小题3】__________
Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research allowsFor example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against.Another problem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness.What if they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die of?
【小题4】__________
Many people believe that history has not always shown human decision-making to be bright when it comes to ethical(道德的)choices. Jeremy Rifkin is probably the most well known opponent of genetic engineering. He believes that humans are not responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not “play God” He asks, “Just because it can be done, does that mean it should be done?” He points out that our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society.
【小题5】.__________
One of the fears expressed about genetic experimentation involves privacy. Already blood sample taken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic research without the patients’ permission. Most people would agree that one’s health and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to this information, it could have a large impact on insurance coverage or costs; if employers gain access to the information, it could have a large impact on hiring or promotion decisions. The possibilities for discrimination are obvious.
