12、Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included her.

20、ancer, even though they have life spans（寿命）that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, Us has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors（肿瘤）from developing. To be precise. They found

21、20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP 53 in elephants. Most other species.

This lets th

22、e cells（细胞）quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can to on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian.
