Supposing this information could tell you what illnesses you were likely to get, or even what illness you might die of, would you open the envelope?Its a difficult question to answer. But the fact is that scientists have already begun to discover how certain genes influence us. And in the next decade, they will learn a lot more.We have known for a long time that many of our physical characteristics are inherited. For example, our eye colour and certain diseases are decided by our genes. As long as you have a good diet, scientists can predict your height by looking at your parents heights. And we now know that the need to wear glasses has a genetic cause. Our eating habits also appear to be decided by our genes!With other characteristics, things are not so clear. Certainly, scientists have now shown that some traits are strongly influenced by our genes. Do you prefer getting up early or late? To a great extent, its your genes that decide, Do you enjoy dangerous sports such as car racing? There is a gene that influences how much excitement we need.But with most psychological characteristics, scientists are learning that both our genes and our environment affect us. This is true of things such as how violent we are, and how well we get on with other people. So, even though scientists may soon be able to describe our genes in detail, it does not mean they will be able to predict our future with any real success.Nonetheless, the fact is that scientists will be able to read our genes in the near future. This will create new problems. To give a few examples, insurance companies may not want to insure people whose genes predict certain illnesses. Employers may not want to employ people who have a gene for violence. One thing is already clear - with these new developments, life is going to become even more complicated!56. Which characteristics is mostly likely to be inherited?A. Eye colour. B. Interest. C. Future. D. Ability.57. What kind of problem will these new developments create?A. You may die of a certain illness described in the envelope.B. There will be an increased number of violent people.C. People may take part in dangerous sports such as car racing.D. Insurance companies may refuse to insure people with a gene for certain disease.58. Why wont scientists be able to tell us a lot about our future?A. Because were affected not only by our genes but also by our environment.B. Because scientists will not able to read our genes in the near future.C. Because life in the future will be more complicated.D. Because scientists cant describe our genes in detail.BRead the following reviews for movies that are showing at the moment.

In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems, both legal and educational, for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions(规定) of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless ch
