A．make him known to car buyers B．cause people to take notice of the car factory C．make the ad much easier to understand D．get more buyers to believe in this car E The Human Genome Project, a great $ 3 billion, 15 – year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life. For the last few years, the genetic advances in the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination. While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoking human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS. Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.

13 years ago, William Stiles, an expert in American Indian history, discovered the treasure as you see here : a 1966 Volvo.

He bought it because ads of the time said Volvos were so tough that they lasted an average of 11 years in Sweden.

As Mr. Stiles remembers: One ad said that a Volvo was so tough that you could “Drive it like you hate it.” I did exactly like that. In my field work, I’ve driven this car 295,000hard miles. Much of it through former Indian countryside. It is held up even better than promised. Driving it like I hated it made me love it.

Expressions of love are not uncommon among Volvo owners. In fact, 9 out of 10 people who have bought new Volvos are happy.

So if you are unhappy with your present car, do what Mr. Stiles once did after reading one of our ads. Buy one of our cars.
