阅读一篇短文,根据各小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.

The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to 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. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, 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 on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be made longer..

Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means 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 hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist 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 produce 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 soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.

Requests That Get Results

  There are many different ways of making requests. For example, if someone wants to borrow a dollar, he or she can say: “Could you lend me a dollar?” “Do you have a dollar?” “You don't have a dollar, do you?”

  How does a person know which request to use? Language researchers have suggested that speakers must make several important decisions. First, they must consider the other person's feelings because requests can sometimes cause embarrassment(窘迫) to both the speaker and the listener. If the speaker thinks the listener will accept the request, he or she will probably use a less formal request; however, if the speaker thinks the listener may decline(拒绝) the request, he or she will probably use a fairly formal request. The listener then has to make a choice either to accept or refuse the request. If he or she refuses, then both the speaker and listener might be embarrassed.

  In addition, speakers must decide how well they know the person they are requesting something from and choose a suitable question. If the speaker knows the listener well, one of several types of requests can be used. For example:

  1.Make a statement with need: “I need a dollar.”

  2.Use an imperative: “Please lend me a dollar.”

  3.Use a question: “Do you have a dollar?”

  If the speaker doesn't know the listener well, one of several types of requests can be used instead.For example:

  4.Ask about ability: “Could / Can you lend me a dollar?”

  5.Use may: “May I borrow a dollar?”

  6.Ask for permission: “Would it OK if I borrowed a dollar?”

  7.Express curiosity: “I wonder if I could borrow a dollar?”

  8.State the request negatively: “I don't suppose you could lend me a dollar?”

  9.Apologize: “I hope you don't mind my asking you for a dollar?”

  10.Give a hint: “I wish I had a dollar.”

  Knowing how to make requests means knowing different types of requests as well as when each type of request is appropriate.
