When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift.

It was happiness.

One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my because of its high speed.

Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears. slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I every day.

However, it's easier to than to do. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness completely. I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a normal(正常的)mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; they don't have a mobile phone but have, and so on. But I only life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: It is a waste of our life to focus on(关注)what you have . We should always think of what we have had.

Happiness depends on(取决于)what we have! It's in our heart. It's a state of mind, even though you own the whole world, you may still feel . Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激)and taking pleasure in what you really have.

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head.

The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish?"

The child answered, "I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands."

The old man asked, "Why do you want the rod?"

"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."

I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.

Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear(害怕)the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.

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 technology(技术)wasn't limited(限制)in use.
