10、t to the World, and thus transform them into global citizens. Indeed, it is a great opportunity to give students national and international exposure. Since Bailey saw the students as future leaders, she was desperate to expose them to the UN, its mission, its agendas and its supporting organizations

11、. She decided to give $ 10,000.(70,720 yuan)of her own money to pay for the late June trip, enough to take 10 stunts ages 14-17 on a four-night stay in New York.

14、s Humanitarian Award, and the United Nations Association of the US awarded her with the National Education Award. But Bailey didnt looking for recognition or even gratitude. Over those four days in New York, wed already felt it, seen it in the eyes of those IQ teenagers. Payne and Sappinton felt gra

18、tudents today are not willing to sock new experiences.D. Students gains are more important than the recognition of her efforts.CStudying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up genes which have been linked to hereditary sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mices genes are so similar to

19、humans, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases. Scientists at the University of California studied information from a data bank of mices genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.Only around 50 to

20、75 percent hereditary eye disease in human can be experimented with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent.This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye dise

21、ase, said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didnt know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic dis

22、eases will be treatable. Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby s parents!Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium(IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with th

23、e aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7, 000 times

24、and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mices genes to those of patients.8. How many hereditary-sight-loss-related genes were newly found?A.86. B.261.C.300. D.347.9. Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems

25、 mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. To show the significance of studying mices genes.B. To prove mices genes are similar to humans. C. To warn the people of the high risk level of suffering them.D.
