19、 in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “Theres so much to learn,” hed say. “Though were born stupid, only

20、 the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied(拒绝) an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time see

21、med perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the moment-the time to share the days new learning.Papa, at the he

22、ad of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of wine, ready to listen.“Felice,” hed say, “ tell me what you learned today.”“I learned that the population of Nepal is ”Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation(拯救) of the world would depend on it. “The populatio

23、n of Nepal. Hmm. Well ”hed say. “Get the map; lets see where Nepal is.” And the whole went on search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very

24、 little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one anothers education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming(肯定) our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most in

25、fluential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting(传授) what Papa had known all along the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never

29、 on his childrens educationC. a participant willing to share his knowledgeD. a teacher strict about everything his students didCWe each have a unique genetic (基因的，遗传的) make-up. Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for produc

30、ing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents genes. Except for identical twins (同卵双胞胎), no one has the same combination as another person. You are

31、unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life. These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make. But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance

32、and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 births-some are identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary

33、brothers and sisters. Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, like short-s

34、ightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have

35、 more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins. Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous

36、activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this. We could ask, “Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?” Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are import

37、ant in making us who we are.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. We cannot easily change our physical appearance. B. How we turn out depends on our parents genes. C. Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world. D. Both our genes and our experiences make us who we are.32. Wh

38、y are scientists studying twins? A. To find out how many twins are born every year. B. To discover what shapes us as individuals. C. To compare differences between twins. D. To study brother-and-sister relationships.33. According to the passage, _. A. one in 70 twins are genetically identical B. non

39、-identical twins are usually not of the same sex C. twins separated at birth behave exactly the same D. identical twins are genetically the same34. Which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage? A. Eating habits. B. Eye-sight. C. Pain resistance. D. Marriage patterns.35

40、. What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Our love of sport. B. Our attitude to risk-taking.C. Our skill at bungee jumping. D.
