Many people in the village could not bear the suffering and killed th emselves. When she knew about it, she said to her family: “D on’t do that silly thing.

When all the Japanese armies were finally kicked out of Chin a, her son died of a lack of nutrition in those days of hardships . Knowing the death of his son, her husband broke down. She said to him in tears, “However tough our lives will be, we sho
uld never give up. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome.”
After giving birth to the second son 2 years later, her husband died of pneumonia. Sad but trying to comfort her three little c hildren, she said, “Don’t feel scared, my sweethearts, you still have me!”

What makes us human? Is it our thoughts? Our emotions? Ou r behavior?
All of these things make us who we are, but at the center of it all lies the genome (基因组)—
the genes inside our bodies that determine everything from ou r hair color to our intelligence. But if we could change our gen ome, would we still be human?
Recently, a group of scientists from the United States - and S outh Korea worked together to successfully“edit”a human em bryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (变
异) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardi an.
This was achieved with the help of CRISPR—a gene-
editing tool that allows scientist to edit the genome by cutting, changing or adding to parts of it.
Scientists involved in DNA editing are certain about the good of their work, and hope that in the future, diseases or birth def ects could simply be “edited out”.
However, others aren’t so sure. People are worried that the sc ience could be used not only to remove life-
threatening illness, but also to make a “perfect” baby whose D NA had been chosen to improve their intelligence or other qua lities. It might make having a baby similar to choosing a new h ouse or car. Critics (评论
家) say that this is a shallow way of thinking about raising chil dren.
“It makes you think about who we are as people, and it makes
you ask if humans should be using the kind of power... that is changing human evolution (进
化),” Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley told MIT Technology Review.
Still, others worry that DNA editing could be turned into an ex pensive service that would only be available to the people wh o could afford it. That might mean the rich would be given ano ther advantage in a world where they already have plenty of t hem.
“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ f or their children, leading to even greater inequality than we alr eady live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisc o Center for Genetics, told BBC News.
32. Which of the following helped the scientists edit the geno me successfully?
A. A human embryo
B. A genetic mutation
C. DNA
D. CRISPER
33. Which of the following will Jennifer Doudna most probably agree with?
A. Having a perfect baby is not so good for the family.
B. Life-threatening illnesses should be removed before birth.
C. DNA editing might cause unexpected problems to humans.
D. DNA editing may enlarge the gap between the rich and the poor.
34. What does the underlined word “them” most probably refe r to?
A. Advantages.
B. Expensive services.
C. Perfect children.
D. Qualities.
35. What does the author think of DNA editing?
A. It’s good for human evolution.
B. It will make humans look similar.
C. Its influence is still quite uncertain.
D. It can only be afforded by the rich.
