One midnight(午夜), a little girl woke up (醒来)to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared(害怕).
Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage(勇敢些)!”
“What’s courage(勇气)?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.
“Courage is the brave(勇敢的) breath(呼吸),” her mother answered.
“Mum, do you have courage?”
“Certainly.”
The girl held out(伸出) her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow(吹) some of your breath of courage to me.”
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls(口) of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously(紧张地), afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away(跑掉). Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kinds of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”

“Can I see my baby?” the happy new mother asked. When she saw the baby, she was surprised. The baby was born without ears.

The boy’s father talked with a doctor. “Could nothing be done?” the father asked. “ I believe I could give him a pair of outer ears, if they could be got.” The doctor answered. So they began to look for a person who would like to give his or her ears.
Two years went by. Then the father said, “You are going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have found someone and it will give the ears you need. But it’s a secret, ”said the father. The operation was very successful. Several years later, he got a good job.
One day, he told his father “ But I must know who gave so much to me. I want to do something for him or her.” “I am sorry, but I can’t tell you.” Said the father.

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, In1860, 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 those small parts are really messages . They’re written in the DNA with a special language.
In1961, 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 do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word ”means, we can help to save people from several illness. 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
