34、f someone gave you an envelope with a description of every one of your genes? 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 a

35、lready 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(继承). For example, our eye colour and certain diseases are decided by our genes. As long as you have a good

36、 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 som

37、e traits(特性，特质) 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?

Because life in the future will be more complicated.D. Because scientists cant describe our genes in detail.CIf youre

43、in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I suggest, I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go.In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleasons character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman. The sc

44、ene, shot on a boat, shows Maxs hopelessness about being out of work. I was looking for some ways that would allow Max to show his feelings.Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Out of fear I d

45、ecided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene.“So Max is sad, right?” I said.Gleason nodded.“And hes probably still carrying his pens with his name on themthe ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”Gleason nodded.“So what would you want to do with the

46、 pens after you were fired?”He was silent for a moment. “Why dont I throw them overboard?”I stood up and turned toward the crew. “Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Lets shoot it.”After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am

47、I going to have tomorrow?”You and your team can discover the answers to problems tighter. When there are no prizes or gold stars for those who get the solution first, youll all benefit when everything turns out right.63.

51、d e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana(大麻). That is the claim of psychologists who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking them for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to ten points off the users IQ.This rate of decline in

52、intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have labeled(贴标签于，指为，分类) the fleeting phenomenon of enhanced stupidity as “infomania”.The noticeable drop in IQ is believed to be the result of the constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do.
