When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory （记忆）works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault （过错）.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed （责备）, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.

It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, 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, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called genes (基因)in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that genes are really messages. Theyre written in the DNA with a special language. In 1961, another two scientists found the first word that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell(细胞)to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still dont understand what they all do. By understanding what just one word means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do. Most people hope that this can help to make better medicine to help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more word and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way. Just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people getting jobs.（1）Watson and Crick found in 1953.
