11.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 I860,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.
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,(有几个单词看不清) 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 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.Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technic wasn't limited in use.

A.In 2000.
B.In 1961.
C.In 1953.

A.Make better medicine.
B.Make them get jobs.
C.Make maps for them.
D.Make them attractive.
33.Which one is not true according to the article?B
A.We look like our parents because of"genes"in our body.
B.We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do.

D.An ad.

20.Do you feel a little sleepy after lunch?Well,that's normal.Your body naturally slows down then.What should you do about it?Don't drink coffee!Instead,take a nap (小睡).
There are some reasons to have a daily nap.First of all,you are more efficient (有效率的) after napping.You remember things better and make fewer (69)mistakes.
Also,you can learn things more (70)quickly after taking a nap.A 20-minute nap can reduce information overload (超负荷).
Finally,a nap may help (71)build your self-confidence (自信心) and make you more active.It may even cheer you up.
There are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap.First,take a nap in the middle of the day,about eight hours after you wake up.
Next,a 20-minute nap is the best.If you sleep a little (72)longer,you may fall into a deep sleep.After waking up from a deep sleep,you will feel worse.Also,you should set an alarm clock.In that way,you can fully relax (73)during your nap.You won't have to keep looking at the clock so that you don't oversleep.
Now,next time you feel sleepy after lunch,don't (74)get nervous.Put your head down,close your eyes,and have a nap.
