A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that e

28、lephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors （肿瘤）developing. To be precise, they found 2D copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants.

29、ty to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go 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, the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian.

But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This phenomenon was found by O

31、xford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Petes paradox (悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephants case, the making of TP53 is natures way of keeping this species alive.The study also found

32、that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent

33、cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “Its up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”28.Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A.

Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.C. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.D. The extra c

37、opies of elephants genes are used to cure cancer patients.DThe stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development.

And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and

41、to others.Honesty and openness is important: it proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better.
