28、d change if they did just that.When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, People like people who like themselves.

29、ght say, But Im not a friendly, self-confident person. Thats not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way. In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in

30、 our personality. Its like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one.But isnt it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we dont actually feel that way?

31、 good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact.

36、endsC. Personal Relations D. The First Four MinutesCA new study released(发布) by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that adults in US are not getting enough rest each night, according to media reports Friday.Of those questioned, 70 percent said they had not gotten enough rest or sleep eve

37、ry day of the past month.The study, which surveyed adults in Delaware, Hawaii, New York and Rhode Island, found that a lack of sleep is a particular problem for younger adults.Of those between 18 and 34, 13.3 percent lacked enough sleep every day, compared to 7.3 percent of adults over 55.However, t

38、he study did not find much difference between races or sexes.The National Sleep Foundation says that most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night.An estimated (评估的) 50 to 70 million people suffer from constant sleep loss or sleep disorders, according to CDC, though people often do not understa

39、nd that lack of sleep can cause health problems.But there is some good news: retirement is apparently good for your sleep habits. The CDC found that those who are no longer working are twice as likely to report that they get a full nights sleep.Sleep patterns can be influenced by what kinds of jobs

43、Alec Jeffrey came across DNA fingerprinting: He identified the patterns of genetic material that are unique to almost every individual. His discovery changed everything from the way we do criminal investigations to the way we decide family law. But the professor of genetics at the University of Leic

44、ester, UK, is still surprised, and a bit worried, by the power of the technology he released upon the world.The patterns within DNA are unique to each individual, except identical twins, who share the same pattern. The ability to identify these patterns has been used to convict(证明有罪) murderers and t

45、o clear people who are wrongly accused. It is also used to identify the victims of war and settle disputes over who is the father of a child.Jeffrey said he and his colleagues made the discovery by accident while tracking genetic variations(变异). But, within six months of the discovery, genetic finge

46、rprinting had been used in an immigration case, to prove that an African boy really was his parents son. In 1986, it was used for the first time in a British criminal case: It cleared one suspect after being accused of two murders and helped convict another man.DNA testing is now very common. In Bri

47、tain, a national criminal database established in 1995 now contains 2.5 million DNA samples. The U.S. and Canada are developing similar systems. But there are fears about the stored DNA samples and how they could be used to harm a persons privacy. That includes a persons medical history, racial orig

48、in or psychological profile. “There is the long-term risk that people can get into these samples and start getting additional information about a persons paternity(父子关系) or risk of disease,” Jeffrey said.DNA testing is not an unfailing proof of identity. Still, it is considered a reasonably reliable

49、 system for determining the things it is used for. Jeffrey estimates the probability of two individuals DNA profiles matching in the most commonly used tests at one in a billion.62. According to the text, DNA testing can NOT be used in _ .A. doing criminal investigations B. deciding family lawC. cle

50、aring wrongly accused people D. telling twins apart63. DNA samples are not popular with all the people because _ .A. the government in Britain establishes a criminal databaseB. the US and Canada develop similar systemsC. DNA samples can be used to harm a persons privacyD. DNA testing is too expensiv

51、e and dangerous now64. Where will you most probably find this article?A. In a guidebook. B. In a storybook.C. In a science fiction. D. In a scientific magazine.65. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Discovery of DNA testing by Jeffery B. Practice of DNA testing in courtC. DNA testing in the

57、ng and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet plane taking off.

If the toy

58、comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, disable the noise-making function.
