Last summer holiday, I got a job working at a coffee shop.

One rainy day，one of my regular customers(顾客）came in. He looked upset. He said he wanted to get in bed，pull the sheets(被单) up over his head，and stay there for a few years. I knew that he was unhappy.

Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was surprised, since he hadn't ordered anything but coffee. I had given him his favorite type of doughnut(油炸圏饼).

“It's on me，” I told him. "Have a nice day. ”

He smiled and thanked me before heading into the rain.

The next day, it was still raining. I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders. I was wet and cold. Worse, no one was tipping(给小费） that day.

In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a note. He said that not many people took time to care about others today. With a friendly wave, he drove away.

On June 26, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could now read the whole “map” of the human body: DNA. DNA is something that everybody has, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, 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, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named “genes” in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.

In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.

Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technic wasn’t limited in use.

1.When did we first know why we look like other people in our family?

A. In 1860. B. In 1953.

C. In 1961. D. In 2000.

2. What does the underlined word “gene” mean?

A. The “map” of DNA. B. A special language.

C. Small parts of DNA. D. DNA.

3.What did the two scientists first discover in 1961?

A. The “map” of DNA. B. A new illness.

C. The language of DNA. D. A message of DNA.

4. What can we do if we understand some “words” of the language inside the body?

A. Make people get new jobs.

B. Make medicine for illnesses.

C. Make maps of human.

D. Make people less attractive.

5.What do people think about this work?

A. It can cause good or bad results.

B. It can cause only good results.

C. It can cause good results but won’t work.

D. It can cause only bad results.
