How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days that’s more than an academic question,as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.

There are now more than a thousand genetic(基因的)tests,for everything from baldness to breast cancer,and the list is growing.Question is do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance,Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson,one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’(老年痴呆症).

“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease,that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious,through which you see the rest of your 1ife as you wait for that disease to hit you.It could really mess you up.”Said Dr.Robert Green,a Harvard geneticist.

“Every ache and pain,”Smith suggested,could be understood as“the beginning of the e nd.”“That’s right.If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer's disease,then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot,you think the disease has started.”

Dr.Green has been thinking about this issue for years.He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.It was thought that people who got bad news would,for lack of a better medical term,freak out.But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference”between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives.In fact,most people think they can handle it.People who ask for the information usually can handle the information,good or bad,said Green.

1.The first paragraph is meant to .

A.ask some questions B.introduce the topic

C.satisfy readers,curiosity D.describe an academic fact

2.Which of the following is true of James Watson?

A.He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.

B.He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

C.He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease.

D.He doesn’t want to know his chance of getting a disease.

3.According to Paragraphs 3 and 4,if a person is at a higher genetic risk,it is .

A.advisable not to let him know

B.impossible to hide his disease

C.better to inform him immediately

D.necessary to remove his anxiety

4.The underlined part“freak out”in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .

A.break down B.drop out C.leave off D.turn away

5.The study led by Dr.Green indicates that people .

A.prefer to hear good news B.tend to find out the truth

C.can accept some bad news D.have the right to be informed

 

In Singapore,most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days.Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm.However,we know that if it rains for long continuous periods,there will be more serious effects.Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable(不能通行的)to traffic.People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects.

Elsewhere,heavy tropical(热带的)storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia.This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them.If there is a typhoon or tsunami,thousands of lives are lost too.This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and It serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.

Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years.Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise.This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level.It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger,so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities,for example,illegal logging(伐木)or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming.

1..From Paragraph 1,we can see that most Singaporeans love ______________.

A.making complaints B.going out for picnics

A.the arrival of heavy tropical storms

B.the import of rice and vegetables

D.the loss of lives in natural disasters

4..What’s the right order of the following events?

a.global warming

b.the rise in ocean level

c.harmful human activities

d.the flooding of low-lying areas

e.the melting of the polar ice-cap

A.c→a→e→b→d B.a→c→e→b→d

C.c→a→b→e→d D.d→a→c→b→e

5..What should we do in order not to make Mother Nature angry?
