Every baby born a decade from now will have its genetic code (基因编码) mapped at birth, the head of the worlds’ leading genome sequencing (基因图谱) company has predicted.

A complete DNA read – out for every newborn will be technically possible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,” or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants’ genes when they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times.

This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.

A baby’s genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a person’s genome, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers. Those at high risk can then he screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill.

Personal genomes could also he used to ensure that patients get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side – effects.

The development, however, will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals’ genetic records.

“Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone – and you could possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company.” said Dr Flatley.

“People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably can’t be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however, is unlikely to be possible”, he added.

As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The risk is nothing compared with the gain.

In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly wants to tell us about         .

      A.the significant progress in medicine      

       B.the promise of a leading company

       C.the information of babies’ genes    

       D.the research of medical scientists

Which of the following is a problem caused by this approach?

       A.The delaying in discovering DNA.

       B.The risk of developing diseases at birth.

       C.The side – effects of medicine on patients.

       D.The letting out of personal genetic information.

What does the underlined sentence “… this horse is out of the barn” mean?

       A.Genetic mapping technique has been widely used.

       B.Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control.

       C.People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique.

       D.people can’t stop genetic mapping technique advancing.

What’s Dr Flatley’s attitude towards the technology?

       A.Tolerant.   B.Conservative.   C.Positive.   D.Doubtful.

I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about them. Eventually, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.
【小题1】What does the author value most in the communication with each other?

A.Deep understandingB.Saying “I’m Sorry”.
C.Attention from heart.D.Doing nothing.
【小题2】The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because ______.
A.She didn’t get enough respect from others
B.she was discouraged by being often interrupted
C.people often told her their own opinions
D.people couldn’t understand her sad situation
【小题3】 If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may ______.
A.hurt his feelingsB.make him embarrassed
C.encourage him to continue to cryD.stop him from letting out his sorrow
【小题4】 It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, ______.
A.listening is a perfect way to respond to others
B.people keep silent because they don’t know the answer
C.keeping silent means being too shy to speak
D.it is easy to form the habit of listening silently

It’s parents’ worst nightmare. Their child doesn’t come home one evening and is missing for several days.     

    When a 14-year-old boy from Atlanta, Georgia disappeared earlier this year, his mother turned to her Smartphone for clues using an app(应用程序) called Family Tracker that helped track his location.

    “You can see where your loved ones are without having to call or bother them. ”said Roberto Franceschetti of LogSat, the creators of the Family Tracker, which has more than 100,000 users and is available worldwide.    

    Parents can track the location of their child on a map, send messages, and even sound an alarm on the phone in a long distance.

    “We have an option for the sender to make a very unpleasant, noisy sound. It’s a loud alarm and we repeat that sound every two minutes until the person picks it up, ”he said.

    Parents don’t need to own a Smartphone to track their children. The service is also accessible through the web, as long as the phone that is being tracked is running the app.

    Family Tracker has an additional service that keeps records of all data from the app for a two-week period, which the company calls GPS breadcrumbs.

    “With a subscription(预定), we keep all the locations where people have been on our servers. You can see where your kid has been for the past two weeks. You can find out where someone was at a certain time or when that person was at a specific place, ”Franceschetti explained.

    “When somebody gets abducted(劫持), usually whoever does this throws the phone away or takes the battery out. We were hoping that our app would at least provide information on where the person was abducted or where they had been in the past. ”

    But will these types of apps let out personal secrets?

    “The advantages are huge compared to the disadvantages. Let’s not forget that the person always has to give initial permission—no one can be tracked unless they allow someone to do it. ”said Franceschetti.

1.According to the passage, all of the following about “Family Tracker” are true EXCEPT that __________.

  A. it can help parents know where their children are 

  B. all parents don’t need to own a Smartphone to track children

  C. parents can use all the services of the app for free

  D. it has little to do with letting out personal secrets

2.What can we infer from the passage?

  A. The app will enjoy a great popularity in the future. 

  B. The loss of children won’t be a nightmare for parents any more.

  C. The app will repeat the loud alarm continuously whenever parents track children.

  D. The app can keep records of information for more than half a month.

3.Which belong to the functions of the new app?

  a. track location       b. detect criminals    c. send messages

  d. protect privacy      e. send remote alarm    f. record information

  A. a, b, c, e           B. a, c, e, f           C. a, c, d, e           D. a, d, e, f
