DNA（Deoxyribonucleic acid）is one of the most important discoveries in science. DNA is the plan for the human being ，as a blueprint is the plan for building. DNA makes a person look the way he does. A person’s DNA. comes from a mixing of his parents’ DNA . That’s why a child looks like his parents. But ，besides controlling things such as height and hair color，DNA can also give people diseases，Scientists are now studying DNA to cure diseases.
In the seventies, scientists developed a process called recombinant (重新组合) or RDNA. Although it sounds difficult to understand，RDNA simply means taking DNA from one animal or plant and putting it into another. By doing so ， scientists can create new beings. In so doing，scientists can better understand DNA，especially what parts of DNA do what parts of DNA do what. After they understand DNA，scientists can begin to cure diseases. Often，the new being created will itself be the cure.
Besides curing diseases，RDNA research can also do other things. For example，scientists in Japan have already created“super-trees”Trees help humans，because they take CO2， which poisons humans ，from the air and turns it into oxygen， which lets humans breathe.“Super-trees” do this too，but do it much faster. As things such as cars and factories have already put much CO2 in the area，“super-trees”are badly needed.
Unfortunately，there is serious danger in RDNA research. Scientists want to create animals to cure old diseases，but these new animals may also create new diseases. It will be a serious problem if the animals escape from the science laboratory and into nature. As these animals are not natural，they may let loose many new powerful diseases.
As a result，RDNA research will create many solutions （解决方案），but it will also create many problems.

阅读短文，根据所读内容在文后1-10的空格里填上适当的单词或短语，每空不超过三个单词。
Everybody has lied on some occasion in life. However, compulsive（上瘾的）lying is different. A compulsive liar has no control over his lying habit. It is very uncomfortable for him to speak the truth. He lies on both major and small issues. Compulsive liars lie out of habit and even on issues where lying does not benefit them. A compulsive liar is also called a habitual liar.
A compulsive liar is not nervous at times. He lies with strong self-confidence. However, you could find evidence that he is lying, which is easy because he always lies. If a person tries to speak out irrelevant details or offer explanations which aren’t necessary when he’s asked a particular question, he’s attempting to hide certain facts. Also you can look at his body language for signs of lying. If he has crossed his arms he might be hiding certain facts from you. If he is blinking（眨眼）frequently then chances are high he is lying. Another sign is he will never admit the truth even when faced with strong evidence.
The consequence of compulsive lying is that no one trusts him any more. It could have far reaching consequences on his job, relationships and friends. It is a terrible cycle, which can alienate（疏远）the very people who are dear to him.
The cure for this condition is that the person affected should take the initiative. He has to meet a psychologist and/ or a psychiatrist（精神病医生）. The psychiatrist will prescribe the needed medicine. The psychologist will analyze why this behavior is happening. Hypnosis（催眠）is a possible solution to this problem. Fortunately this is a treatable condition.

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feeling
Architects have long had the feeling that the place we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（经验的，实证的）basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C．Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim （暗淡的） light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner, or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we are almost looking at the problem through a straw （吸管）” architect David Allison says; “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad ,generalize use of them?” That is what we are all struggling with”
1．What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A．Light B．Ceilings. C．Windows. D．Furniture
2．The passage tells us that____________.
A．the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelings
B．lower ceilings may help improve students’ creativity
C．children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D．students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed
3．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean that_______.
A．the problem is not approached step by step
B．the researches so far have faults in themselves
C．the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D．research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns
4．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
CP ：Central Point P：point SP： Sub-point（次要点） C：Conclusion
