When you build a house，you use a blueprint.What's a blueprint？In general，a blueprint is a drawing that shows how to put a house together with many different parts.DNA is the blueprint of life.
But building a living thing is far more complex than building a house.It takes millions of years for nature to change the DNA in living things to make them fit the world they live in.This is the shape of DNA.
How tall are you？What color are your eyes？What size are your feet？All these things are strongly influenced by your DNA before you are born!
DNA is fantastic!Except for some twins，every living thing has its own unique DNA.Some health problems can be caused by problems in your DNA.Scientists can look for these problems and，sometimes，help you before you become sick.In the future，scientists might be able to change your DNA.
There are copies of your DNA in every part of your body.For example，your finger has the same DNA as your hair.
You have your own unique DNA.But it repeats patterns from your parents' DNA.From your DNA，scientists can identify not only you，but also people who are related to you.Your parents and grandparents are related to you，and you have their DNA.Your DNA has billions of instructions that explain why you are the way you are.It is one of the most amazing things on the earth!
24.DNA is something that ______ .
A. helps you grow up fast B. helps you change the world
C. you use to build your house D. your body uses to build itself
25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ ______
A. Your DNA isn't in your hair.
B. DNA is different in your body parts.
C. Your DNA comes from your parents.
D. Your family members have the same DNA.
26.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage？ ______
A. DNA—the Story of Your Body B. DNA—the Secret of Your Height
C. DNA—the Way of Your Thinking D. DNA—the Problem of Your Body
C
Are you an optimist （乐观主义者） or a pessimist （悲观主义者）？Optimists are always hopeful and positive （积极的）.Pessimists always expect the worst and see the negative （消极的） side of things.The optimist says， "The glass is half full." The pessimist says， "The glass is half empty".
Dr.Seligman is a scientist whose studies show that optimists are healthier than pessimists.Pessimists suffer from depression（抑郁）more often than optimists do.Dr.Seligman studied a group of men who had heart attacks.After eight years，most of the optimistic men were still alive，while most of the pessimistic men had died from another heart attack.
Dr.Seligman also says that optimists are more successful，athletes，politicians，and businessmen who have optimistic views of the world tend to succeed.
Here's the good news：Everyone can learn to be more optimistic.The main way is to change the way you talk to yourself.When something bad happens to pessimists，they believe it will affect their whole lives.When something bad happens to optimists，they see it as just one event.They also believe that they can solve the problem，so it won't happen again.
Here's an example：An optimist and a pessimist take a math test.They are both good students，but both of them fail this test.The pessimist thinks， "I am probably going to fail every test.It is too difficult for me.Nobody will like me because I am a terrible student." The optimist thinks， "It was only one test，I am a smart student.I know I can do much better next time."
Be kinder to yourself，be more hopeful，see the glass as half full!

A. Doing more tests. B. Asking others for help.
C. Changing the self-talk way. D. Thinking of bad things.
30.What will the optimists think after failing a test？ ______

C. They will give up learning. D. They will become terrible.
31.Here are four suggestions for students.Please find the right advice for each of the students.

五、任务型阅读（2x5）
32.Can you believe that thinking about yourself too much makes you sick？Many psychologists（心理学家）now think so. "Self-focus" means thinking about yourself.
In the old days psychologists used to tell patients with depression to pay more attention to themselves.They wanted patients to talk about their problems and feelings.At first they thought that "self-focus" would cure （治愈） depression.Then，some psychologists began wondering if they were wrong，they realized that depressed people talked about themselves much more than non-depressed people.Psychologists began to wonder if it is possible for "self-focus" to cause depression.So psychologists began thinking of different ways to treat depressed people.They thought that patients would feel better if they stopped thinking about their own problems.They even thought that they could cure depression by having patients focus on other people.
Scientists at the university of Michigan studied older men，some of the men volunteered to help others，others did not volunteer.They found that the men who volunteered lived much longer.Duke University scientists studied patients who had heart disease.Some patients were told to volunteer.The patients who volunteered were happier and healthier than the others.As a result of these researches，scientists began recommending volunteerism.
Each of us experiences pain，sadness，and loneliness.One of the best ways to overcome these feelings is to help others who are experiencing difficulty.Thinking about others all the time is not going to solve all your problems，but it is nice to know that by helping others，you can help yourself，too.
(1) What does "self-focus" mean？ ______
(2) What did psychologists first think "self-focus" benefits depressed patients？ ______
(3) What did the Michigan University study find on the men who volunteered？ ______
(4) Are you "self-focus"？Why or why not？（ Please give two reasons） ______
