But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists pared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, Its almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) 一it will always be there, even when youve walked away and when the cement bees dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.25.

The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.C David Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone.

Words can have a powerful effect on your subconscious(潜意识的) brain. And it will in turn affect your life greatly. Be very careful, because your words have destructive power, too. You have probably heard of children being scolded by their parents and developing a bad self-image. Most kids have that experience. 38 39 Its not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, and argument or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision you make. You may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. 40 Encouraging words from our teacher or parents when we fail in the exam can make us work harder at our lessons, while blame or scolding will make things worse.ABut an encouraging word can go quite a long way.BEverything you do is based on the choices you make.CYou should try to be encouraged and think positively.DYour words are likely to bring out something amazing.EThe familiar words can help us build up good relationships with others.FWe all need positive words especially when being in trouble or needing help.GThey say it is important to praise children 4 times for each negative words or scolding.第三部分；英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节；完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从3655各题所给的四个选项（A、B、CD）中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The U.S. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the 41 of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of map where earthquakes are 42 likely to break out are called earthquake belts. The government is working hard to help 43 the answer to these two questions: 1. Can we foretell earthquakes? 2. Can we control earthquakes? To answer the first question, scientists are looking very 44 at the most active fault systems in the country, 45 the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earths 46 . These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes happen. Scientists look at the faults 47 changes ,which might show that an earthquake was 48 to happen. But it will probably be many years 49 we can foretell earthquakes accurately (精确地). And the control of earthquake is even 50 away. However, there have been some interesting 51 in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting 52 the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 meters below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection(注入) of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have 53 that the water that was injected into the rocks worked like oil 54 each other. When the water oiled the fault, it became slippery and the 55 of an earthquake was released (释放). Scientists are still 56 at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a 57 between the injection of the water and the earthquake 58. They have supposed that it 59 be possible to inject some 60 of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.( )41.
