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 I860, 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 those small parts 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, 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 to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people: Other people worry that when wc Icam more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive (有吸引力的), or stop sick people getting jobs.64.

So when you ask, “Any fast food restaurants around here?” Siri will reply, “I found a number of restaurants near you.” Then you can say, “Hmm.

These images（意象）include the way we look, the way we act, the way we talk and the way we think. When we find that believing in ourselves is a bit hard, it is time we build positive（积极的）self-images and learn to have happy lives. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unluckily, most of these images are more negative（消极的）than they should be. Thus changing the way we think about ourselves is the key to change our self-images and our whole world.The best way to destroy a passive（被动的）self-image is to step back and decide to pay attention to our successes. That is, make a list if we need to, but write down all of the great things we do every day. Dont allow doubts to happen on us. It very well might be that we are experiencing negative self-images because we cant move past the weakness that we see about ourselves. Well, make a change of it as our primary tasks. If we think were silly because we arent good at math, find someone to help us. If we think were weak because we cant run a mile, get more practice. But remember, what we think doesnt mean its true. The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that our images are far from the goals, and to actively make ourselves believe that we have positive personalities. Changing the way we think and working on those we need to improve will go a long way to create new positive self-images. When we can pat ourselves on the back, well know were well on our way. 64.

He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a kind person. When Dr. Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest. The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled(损坏) them, and that if you water them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on. He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots（浅根）, and how trees that werent watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees. Hed planted an oak tree and, instead of watering it every morning, hed beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention. Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant twenty-five years ago. Theyre big and strong now. I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot. Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But lately Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the earth, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, they could face it strongly and wont be beaten down. 64.

Men and women came to the place hoping to find gold and become rich. One said in his diary, “My dream is to find gold so that I can make a new life.” Peoples dreams did not always come true as they had hoped. Firstly, the trip was very hard to make. People who came from the eastern United States faced a long trip across the country. People who came from Europe found it took six months to travel by ship to San Francisco. It was a dangerous journey. Then, when they got to California, most people found that mining (采矿) was a hard life. Few people made money by mining for gold. People would spend a short time in the mines. Then most of them went to the cities. San Francisco and Sacramento were growing cities then. It was full of excitement and easy for people to find jobs. People who hadnt found any gold in the mines were paid in gold for their work. Most of the people who came to California could make a better living doing other work. After a while, some people decided to make the long trip home. Some traveled east to see more of the country. Others chose to remain in California and become part of its history.64.
