21、Can people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.

The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 percent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 percent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.

Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes. The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.

It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.

However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.

Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun, which can cause skin cancer.

But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.

Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.

The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.

【1】The passage mainly tells us that _________.

A．people can not change their skin colour without any pain

B．the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safely

C．pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked

D．scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A．nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment

B．Europeans and Africans have the same gene

C．the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer

D．there are two kinds of genes

【3】Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to _________.

A．find the different genes of humans’

B．prove the humans’ skin colour is determined by the pigment gene

C．find out the reason why the Africans’ skin colour is dark

D．find out the ways of changing people’s skin colour

【4】The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _________.

A．they are born light-skinned people

B．light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanosome production

C．they have fewer activities outside

D．they pay much attention to protecting their skin

22、Tianjin Panshan Mountain Scenic Area

Panshan Mountain is listed among the national 5A Scenic Spots and is well-known for its natural scenery, Buddhist temples, and royal gardens.

The mountain was first recorded in books from the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) and became popular in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Seventy-two temples, 13 exquisite towers, and a royal garden were built on the mountain and were well-regarded by several Chinese emperors.

The main peak of Panshan Mountain is Guayue Peak and is surrounded by other peaks including Zigai Peak to the south, Zilai Peak to the north, Jiuhua Peak to the east, and Wujian Peak to the west.

23、   What do you want to be when you are growing up? A doctor, an engineer — or maybe a footballer or actor? We all have big plans for our futures and believe there is a dream job waiting for us — one that will pay well and give great job satisfaction. But how realistic is that?

Today, in the UK at least, young people are being warned that some of their career hopes and dreams don’t match the types of jobs available. Research by the charity Education and Employers suggests five times as many 17 and 18 year-olds in the UK want to work in art, culture, entertainment and sport than there are jobs.

The excitement of working in these employment sectors (部门) is obviously an attraction. But those looking for these types of job will be disappointed. That’s what the report, Disconnected: Career ambitions and jobs in the UK, says. Writing about this for the BBC, Katherine Sellgren points out that although young people are keen to work in art, entertainment, culture and sport, the economy is unlikely to need them all. At the same time, there is a shortfall of young people wanting to work in careers such as catering and retail(零售).

Previous research about the career ambitions of young people by the Office for National Statistics also found a “reality gap” between their dreams and the sometimes disappointing truth by the time they reached their early to late-20s. Apart from those who aimed to go into teaching, fewer than one in 50 were in the jobs they had wanted — such as a doctor, vet, firefighter or actor. Most were working as sales assistants, careers or in sales and marketing.

Although it’s good to have ambitions, the aims of young people need to be realistic. This latest report suggests that children need to be made more aware of a wider variety of occupations at a younger age.  It also calls for improved career advice in secondary schools. A spokeswoman for the Department for Work and Pensions told the BBC that “early careers advice can help young people set out on the right path to the job that channels their interests and unlocks their potential.”

【1】Which employment sector in the UK needs more people to work in?

A.Sport. B.Service industry.

C.Art & culture. D.Entertainment.

【2】The underlined phrase “ reality gap ” in Paragraph 4 refers to the difference between   .

A.ambition and reality B.males and females

C.theory and practice D.the past and the present

【3】What suggestions about employment are NOT given to help young people?

A.They ought to be offered better career advice in secondary schools.

B.They should know more kinds of jobs at an early age.

C.The government should create more jobs for the young.

D.Their employment ambition should be realistic.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Unemployment Problems in Britain

B.Young People’s Lifestyles in Britain

C.Tips for Finding Dream Jobs in Britain

D.Unrealistic Career Ambitions in Britain

24、A Great Way to Teach Children to Take Responsibility

As parents, one of the most important things to teach children to take responsibility is to include chores as a part of their daily routine. In order to make a family function smoothly, every member must contribute. Teaching your children to take responsibility at an early age makes it easier for them to shoulder greater responsibilities as they grow older.

【1】 If your children leave their crayons lying on the table after drawing, picking up those crayons is not a chore. It is cleaning up a mess they have created. 【2】

【3】. For example, if it is to feed the dog every day, make   sure   the   children understand that if they fail in their responsibility, the dog will go hungry.

Make rewards and punishments a part of the lesson. Together decide whether they will be rewarded or not. 【4】 Some parents make their reward a monetary payment, while others choose to reward with certain privileges, such as extra television viewing time.

Children need to be taught that there are punishments for their actions in case of not doing their assigned chores. Decide and agree from the start what the punishment will be.

Teaching your children the importance of contributing to the family is of great importance. 【5】 By taking this step, you have done a wonderful thing for your children by providing them with life skills they can take with them into society.

A．A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family.

B．And what punishment they will receive if a chore isn’t done.

C．Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future.

D．Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves.

E．Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters.

F．Children will not be rewarded at all for merely cleaning up.

G．And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done.
