18.With the development of science and technology,the research of human genes is playing more and more important part in our daily life.Sometimes it is a hot topic drawing more and more attention.
Gene technology can cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with,such as cancer and heart disease.Every year,millions of people are murdered by these two killers.But if the gene technology is used,not only these two diseases can be cured completely,bringing happiness and more living days to the patients,but also the great amount of money people spend curing their diseases can be saved,therefore it benefits the economy as well.In addition,people can live longer.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children.Some families have hereditary diseases and their children will for sure have the family disease,which is a great trouble for these families.In the past,doctors could do nothing about them.But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it,and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to clone human beings in large quantities.In the past few years,scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would be cloned.But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large amounts,for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way.Of course,the governments must take care to control gene technology.

29.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?C

30.In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?B
A.Gene technology helps people with hereditary diseases to live longer.
B.Using gene technology,scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.
C.Using gene technology,human babies can be cloned.
D.Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.

C.Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.
D.Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.
15.According to U.S.research,you can add seven and a half years to your life just by being happy!
Supporting this claim is Laurie Hayes,Life Strategy Coach from Ontario,Canada,who has been working with people who have recognized this missing element in their lives and want to take corrective action towards a more meaningful,balanced existence.
"Some people believe that by earning more money,working longer hours,and taking on more and more responsibility,they will somehow reap big benefits that will in the end guarantee happiness.Unfortunately that just isn't the case,and research has now proven that the more comfortable life becomes,the more discontented and unfulfilled we become."
Incredibly,professional men and women polled in a recent study were rated to be unhappiest of all.Most attributed work pressures,the need to achieve,family responsibilities,social pressures,and busy lifestyles.Ms.Hayes says people often wait so long to do anything about these feelings that by the time they come to her they are out of order,overwhelmed,feeling heavy and isolated,and that it's only through supportive,strategic life coaching they are able to learn how to live,laugh,and dream again.
Coaching used to be intended for toplevel executives,movie stars and large corporations,but is now being sought after by average,everyday people seeking positive life change.Already mainstream in the U.S.,it is still relatively new in Canada."I know personally what it's like to live without real happiness.I experienced it years ago,learned a valuable lesson and now I want to do my bit to help others realize that they too can find happiness."Thankfully,real happiness is attainable and doesn't have to come at the expense of something else.As a matter of fact,the source might be so close to us that we can't even see it!The secret of extended life might be right under our noses,only waiting to be discovered!

12.Kenneth Williams is considered one of the greatest British comedy actors of the twentieth century.His voice was his outstanding gift; it virtually defined him as a(61)performer (perform).Williams would often spend weeks(62)deciding  (decide) how a character should sound and this"voice"determined his approach to each role.(63)But  even after he had chosen his"voice",he didn't always stick to it.(64)In  the middle of a single performance,he would sometimes change(65)the tone or speed of his speech,for greater comic effect.While still a beginner,he felt he should be given the freedom to do as he wished on stage and often(66)ignored  (ignore) his directors'instructions.This greatly annoyed some directors,who refuses(67)to work  (work) with him.Sometimes,he would completely ignore the script(台词)and make up his own lines during a performance.Although he was proud of his ability to go"off script"he became extremely angry(68)when/if other actors tried to do the same,arguing that they were simply no good at it.Williams loved to make his audience laugh.When performing a scene(69)where there were few laughs,he would often make up(70)his own jokes,which always entertained the audience,but sometimes also ruined the scene.
7.Six Ways to Improve Reading ComprehensionHelp your child keep what he reads-a crucial skill,especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.
Have him read aloud.This forces him to go slower,which gives him more time to process what he reads.(36)F Provide the right kinds of books.Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren't too hard.(37)GStopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.
(38)A To gain meaning from text,your child needs to read quickly and smoothly-a skill known as fluency.Rereading familiar,simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent.
Talk to the teacher.If your child is strugglng hard with comprehension,he may need more help with his reading-for example,building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills.
Supplement class reading.If his class is studying a particular theme,look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic.Some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts.
Talk about what he's reading.This"verbal processing"helps him remember and think through the themes of the book.(39)E For example:
●Before:"What interests you in this book?What doesn't?"
●During:"(40)BIs it turning out the way you thought it would?"
●After:"Can you summarize the book?What did you like about it?"

A.Reread to build fluency.
B.What's going on in the book?
C.Look up new words in the dictionary.
D.Do you know all the characters in the story?
E.Ask questions before,during,and after a reading session.
F.Plus,he's not only seeing the words,he's hearing them,too.
G.He should recognize at least 90percent of the words without any help.
