I couldn't believe my eye when I opened the front door．Everything was in a terrible mess：the books were lying on the floor but the drawers were open．Realised that my house had been broken into，I telephoned the police at once．They had told me to keep calm and not to touch anything．Then I decided take a look around at what had been stolen．The TV was still there and so did the computers．Everything in my bedroom seemed to be complete untouched．I was confused as nothing was missing．Suddenly，there was a knock to the door and my sister was standing there with his naughty boy．Oh，I could guess which had happened．

17．W earing fashionable（时尚的）clothes can be bad for you!This may surprise you，but（61）it is said that some clothes can cause a variety of problems．Do you find this hard to believe？Well，researchers have discovered that（62）following（follow） the latest fashion trends（趋势）may not be（63）healthy（health）．For example，if you tie a scarf too tightly，it increases your blood pressure．Tight jeans and trousers，and even short skirts may all cause（64）illness/illnesses（ill）．
Experts say that things we wear can also lead（65）tostomach problems，rashes（皮疹），backache and painful feet．Yet how can we explain this？Very tight clothes can prevent people moving（66）naturally（nature），and this is not good for you．If you wear trousers or skirts that（67）are（be） too tight around the waist，then your stomach does not have room（68）to expand（expand） after you have eaten，and this can cause stomachache．And last but not least，wearing shoes with high heels can cause foot and back problems：Even practical shoes can cause backache（69）if/whenthey don't fit you properly．
So some experts suggest that fashionable clothes（70）（should） be kept（keep） away from．

16．Professor David Agus，one of leading scientists at the medical revolution，says that he believes that with our current technology humans have the potential to regularly live into their ninth or tenth decade．
Craig Venter，co-founder and CEO of Human Longevity Inc．，says there might be no supposed limit to how long we can live，but that"we need to make sure we can support extra long life on this planet．"Huge advancements at the intersection （交叉领域） of medicine and technology，such as big data，are making these kinds of developments in aging possible．
Venter explained that when he first studied the human genome （基因组） 15 years ago，there was nothing for him to compare it to．For example，we now know that we vary about 3% from the 6.4 billion letters of DNA that we get from our parents．Ten years ago，Venter said he wouldn't have thought that we'd be able to predict someone's age from their genetic code．We also now know that our genetic code is constantly changing，he says．Men，for example，start losing Y chromosomes （染色体） in their 40s and 50s．"To help crack （破解） the big data code in medicine，my team have hired the engineer who designed Google Translate，"says Venter．"We're using machine learning to try to understand and translate all that data，"he explains．"We now have the ability to produce a photo of someone straight from their genetic code．"
Therefore，will all this data automatically extend our lifespan？That's a bit more complicated．"We're learning new things every six months，"Agus says．"These new things make us more complex．That means we're never going to totally understand disease，"he adds．"But we don't need to understand it to control it．"
32．What is the belief that David Agus holds？C
A．There will be no disease in the future．
B．Our life expectancy will slowly increase．
