    On June 26, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could 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 Matthaci 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（限制）in use.

    A．In 1860B．In 1953C．In 1961D．In 2000
    小题2:What does the underlined word “ genes” mean?

    小题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.
    小题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.
    小题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.

    We all enjoy the beautiful show of colours as leaves change each autumn. But did you ever wonder how and why this happens?
    Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖). Glucose is a kind of sugar, which plants use as food for energy and growing.
    The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis that means “ putting together with light”. A chemical called chlorophyll helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.
    During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories.
    As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. Small amounts of these colours have been in the leaves all along. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
    The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples (枫树), glucose is caught in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into a red colour. The brown colour of trees like oaks (橡树) is made from waste left in the leaves.
    It is the mixture of all these things that makes the beautiful colours we enjoy during autumn.
    小题1:The word “chlorophyll” in the third paragraph means _______ in Chinese.
    A．叶绿素B．氧气C．胡萝卜素D．蛋白质
    小题2:The leaves of the trees in autumn turn yellow because of the short of _____.
    A．water and carbon dioxide
    B．glucose and energy
    C．sunlight and water
    D．sunlight and carbon dioxide
    小题3:The way that _______________________ is called Photosynthesis .
    A．plants change water and carbon dioxide into sugar
    B．plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar with the help of sunlight
    C．plants use glucose as food for energy and growing
    D．chlorophyll is a great help
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．When autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.
    B．During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.
    C．During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colours are kept in the leaves all the time.
    D．Trees begin to stop making food in summer.
    小题5:This passage tells us __________________.
    A．all the plants can grow well with the strong sunlight
    B．there are all kinds of plants on the earth
    C．all the colours of the leaves aren’t made from chlorophyll
    D．maples and oaks have the same reason as other trees for the change of colours

    With more and more farmers working in big cities, their children go into the cities, too.However, problems appear. One of these problems is that is difficult for these children to receive education in cities.
    Luckily, there are some free schools for them, but they are not enough. Ten-year-old Li Xin is one of the lucky girls who get a chance to study in one of these schools. She is very happy.

There are also some volunteers teachers,” he added.
    Anyhow, we must try to give these children an equal（平等）chance to get better education so that we can make our society harmonious（和谐的）.

    Future and Today
    　　It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is ? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.
    　　There is an old English saying: "Gain time, gain life." Then what's time? Time is something that we can't see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say "Time is money", but time is even more precious(珍贵的)than money, because when money is spent , we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless(无价的).
    　　We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
    　　As we all know , "Time and tide wait for no man." If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter .Remember: "No pains, no gains." Today's hard work is the cause of tomorrow's harvest.
