DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time, In1860, Mr Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes”(基因) in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages . They’re written in the DNA with a special language.
In1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell﹙细胞﹚to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word ”means, we can help to save people from several illness. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive (有吸引力的)，or stop sick people getting jobs. When did Mr Mendel discover why we look the same as other people in our family?

Should parents ask their children to do chores? Some believe that children should not do chores. They think that children are too young to cook or clean for themselves or their parents. But many people believe that children can learn a lot from doing chores. Parents should help children learn to do the housework that they will have to do when they live on their own.
Most experts agree. However, the chores should suit(适合) children. Parents shouldn’t, of course, ask a schoolboy to cook when he is doing his homework. If the child has activities after school, the time left to do chores may be short.
Maybe more chores on weekends can be helpful. When a child does what his parents ask him to do happily, he will probably have the feeling of growing up. Chores can be useful. They are a teaching tool(工具). Parents use the tool to teach children so that they can care for themselves someday. And please make sure that parents also, do chores. If parents don’t keep a clean house, children won’t find any reason to do chores.Why do some parents think it’s not necessary for children to do chores?
