29．________Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of fingerprints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.

They can be recorded easily.31.________ Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, fingerprints have often been used as a method of solving the criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. 32.________ When a suspect leaves fingerprints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. 33.________ Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.
A．Special techniques are used to “develop” them.
B．A fingerprint is an impression of the ridge structure.

Some simple keys to transform your life
The power of choices.
Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives. 16.________When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the greater its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive，or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.
17．________
If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what's best for all. Imagine a world where every parent, friend, teacher, business person, and politician truly did their best to choose what's the best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.
It's the intention.
18．________The answer is simple. It doesn't matter. The matter itself is not the choice you
make, but rather the intention behind your choice. The key is that what decision you make. You are clear in your intention of choosing based on what's the best for all. If it later turns out that you seem to have made a bad choice, there's no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what's the best for all, your conscience stays clear and open.
19.________
What's the best for me, too?
Choosing what's the best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others. Another example, a very exhausted mother can lose her temper easily and then she may become ill so that she can't support her family without earning any money.20.________ So as we move through each day of our lives, let us learn to care about ourselves as we do our best to choose what's the best for others.
A．How do you make choices?
B．Discuss them together to choose your project.
C．But how do I know what is really the best?
D．What is important is that we should pay attention to this presence.
E．So it is very important for you to take good care of yourself.
F．Even small or unimportant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel.
G．This then allows you to improve your decision, and make a right one.

Habits of highly successful students
Never over－study
When you spend too much time studying, you will quickly lose focus and the time spent in studying will become “junk time”．You think you're studying but you're just sitting there rereading the same sentence about 100 times and you're not getting anywhere. Instead, take regular breaks.
26.________Besides, it will give your mind some time to take in what you have been doing.
27．________
Top students don't just randomly(随意地) sit down and complete work. They actually plan what they are going to do: they actually plan the time when they will study and they set goals for what will be achieved. If you want to be successful, do as successful people do. Set a plan, set a goal and stick to it, which will create a routine and a routine is the first step towards developing a habit.28.________
Front up to the toughest work first
Many of us like to do the easy things first to build our confidence. That's fair enough. The only challenge with this approach is that you use up your primary energy at the start of any study period.

We really shouldn't, though. So develop the habit of giving your primary energy to the hard tasks and completing the easy stuff last.
30．________

Don't text your friends, don't chat while doing memory activities，don't make phone calls, and just focus on what you're doing. Even if you focus on work for 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes of chatting, it's better than 30 minutes of work while also chatting! You get that right?
A．Taking breaks can make you get everywhere.
B．You get tired and impatient and just give up.
C．Positive habits decide future success.
D．Plan your study
E．Taking breaks will make you energetic again and refresh your mind.
F．Get off social networking sites and turn off the phone
