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 Matthaei 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.

The most unfortunate people all over the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.I am very interested in people, in meeting them and finding about them. Ive found in books new friends, new societies, and new words. Reading is a pleasure of mind. It is a little like a sport: Your eagerness for knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and finally you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you you ought to read, you probably wont have fun. But if you put down a book you dont like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time, and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you wont have suffered during the process.（1）Which is WRONG according to the passage?

More gentle.D . All of the above.（3）What does the underlined word process mean in Chinese? A . 过程B . 作用C . 手续D . 工序（4）Why does the author say books are connected with each other? A . They have the same idea.B . They have the same writer.C . Peoples problems are the same.D . Human problems repeat themselves in literature.三、 单词拼写 (共2题；共12分)5. （2分）The hotel is _the library _(在与之间) the dining hall. 6. （10分）语法填空 Hi Simon,I havent written till now.
