AWhen I was young, Mom was often sick and Dad didn't make much money. We seldom went anywhere special except at those times that some generous adults stepped in to brighten our horizons.One of my favorite memories of my early years was when I was a second grader. My teacher, also my best friend’s aunt, took us two girls to a neighboring city for a day. While in the city that day, I remember seeing a beautiful show of RudolphtheRedNosedReindeer books. I longed for the book. Of course, I couldn't buy one—I only had a little pocket change. That day we rode an elevator and were taken to see a Disney movie after eating in a restaurant—it was a truly unforgettable day.Another time my aunt, a dry old woman who went out about as seldom as our family did, took me to the movie. I can't remember the movie’s name but I do remember it was a unique experience to see a long movie on such a wide screen.Other times, relatives took me to attend a carnival (狂欢节) or I was invited to a neighbor’s home to watch some musical program when TVs were not situated in every living room.Had it not been for all those kind people allowing me to participate in their lives, I would have grown up completely ignorant(无知)of the world outside our little house and country school. Today, most children enjoy a variety of experiences. In our time it was different. It was only through the kindness of others that I was able to share in experiences I would otherwise never have had.21．Why did the author seldom go anywhere when she was young?A．It was not safe for the girls to go out.B．The transportation was not convenient.C．Her family couldn't pay for her travel.D．Her parents were afraid that she would get lost.22．Who has ever taken the author to watch the books on show?A．Her aunt.B．A teacher.C．A neighbor.

DNA is something that everyone has, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named “genes” in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real message s written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johnson Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. Scientists now have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, they might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technic wasn't limited in use.25．When did we first know why we look like other people in our family?A．In 1860. B．In 1953.C．In 1961.
