Molly Jackson was a happy little girl. She lived with her parents. Her parents loved her very much. Every morning, Mrs. Jackson would get up early to make breakfast. She also made lunch for Mr. Jackson. Then it was Molly's job to put her father's lunch box into a lunch bag. And she would give the lunch bag to her father.
One day, Molly gave two lunch bags to her father. "Why do you give me two bags, Molly?" asked Mr. Jackson.
"There is something else in the other bag," Molly answered.
"What's in it?" Mr. Jackson kept asking. "I can't tell you now. Just open it after your lunch," said Molly.
Time passed quickly, it was lunch time. Mr. Jackson opened his lunch bag and started to eat. Then he saw the other bag from Molly. So he opened this special bag.
In this bag, Mr. Jackson found some toys. There were some small model cars and pictures in the bag. And Mr. Jackson found a note(便条) at the bottom(底部) of the bag. It wrote, "Dad, here are some of my toys. You can play them in your free time and have a rest. I love you, dad."

DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.

People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes”（基因）in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that genes are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with a special language.

In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞）to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still don’t understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.

Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way. Just to make people more attractive (有吸引力的), or stop sick people getting jobs.
