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, 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 we learn more words 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.36 .

Ive been living and studying in Canada for about nine months. As Im still too young to rent an apartment by myself. I live with a homestay family and I feel like Im part of it. The first time I had a homestay was in 2013. During that time, I stayed in Ajax, a town in Canada, for a week and lived with a homestay family. Carlton lives with his nephew and his niece-in-law. Carlton drove me to an international school to learn about Canadian culture every morning, and he picked me up in the afternoons. Our leisure time was in the evening. The meals he made for me were delicious and we usually watched a movie after dinner. All experiences left an unforgettable impression on me, even if I didnt live there for a long time. Im now living with a Hungarian(匈牙利) family with another Chinese boy. There are two family members- Mrs Perger and her son, Robert. Ive already lived here for nine months and I have been deeply moved by many things theyve done. Once, my roommate went running and didnt come back for quite a long time. Mrs Perger called him, but he didnt answer the phone. She began to worry about him, and was even about to cry.However, living with a homestay family also has its disadvantages, especially when living with a foreign family. The biggest challenge for me has been the totally different lifestyle, which took me a long time to get used to. Living with a homestay family has given me a lot of new experiences. It has taught me how to communicate with different people. Moreover, when different lifestyles and cultures meet together, I have seen that the spark(火花) they make are spectacular(壮观的).40 .
