21、   A new study suggests that identical(同卵的) twins are not exactly the same genetically. Scientists in Iceland examined DNA from 387 pairs of identical twins, their parents, children, husbands or wives. The examinations led the team to find “early mutations that separate identical twins,” lead researcher and geneticist Kari Stefansson said.

Mutations are small changes in DNA that can happen when a cell divides in an attempt to copy itself. These small changes can influence a person’s physical appearance or control a person’s ability to fight a disease.

The newly-discovered mutations show that identical twins do have genetic differences. On average, identical twins have 5.2 of these early genetic differences, the researchers found. These differences represent a small part of each twin’s genetic material. But they could influence why one twin is taller or why one is at greater risk for some cancers than the other.

In the past, many researchers believed physical differences seen in identical twins were related mostly to environmental influences, such as nutrition or lifestyle behaviors.

Jan Dumanski is a geneticist at Sweden’s Uppsala University. He was not involved in the study. He praised the findings as “a clear and important contribution” to medical research. “The implication is that we have to be very careful when we are using twins as a model” for examining the influences of genetics or the environment, Dumanski said.

A 2008 paper in The American Journal of Human Genetics found some genetic differences between identical twins. The new study, however, goes beyond earlier work by including the DNA of parents, children, husbands and wives of identical twins. Studying family members permitted the researchers to examine when genetic mutations happened in two different kinds of cells: those present in only one individual and those passed on to the person’s children.

Stefansson said his team found twins where a mutation is present in all cells of the body of one twin, but not in the other twin at all. However, “sometimes the second twin may show the mutation in some cells, but not all cells,” he added.

【1】What is a function of mutations?

A.Change people’s DNA.

B.Help a cell to copy itself.

C.Influence people’s physical appearance.

D.Increase people’s ability to fight diseases.

【2】Why did the study include the DNA of family members?

A.To check when the mutations happened.

B.To identify the results of former research.

C.To find out where the mutations happened.

D.To examine the influence of the environment.

【3】What is Jan Dumanski’s attitude toward the study?

A.Cautious. B.Doubtful.

C.Concerned. D.Positive.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A.A Breakthrough in Identical Twins Study

B.Identical Twins: Not Genetically Exact Copies

C.Genetic Differences Caused by Family Members

D.DNA Decides the Difference between Identical Twins

23、The Enduring Appeal of Peter Rabbit

“I don’t know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits, whose names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter,” wrote Beatrix Potter, an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist in 1893, in a letter to a little boy who was suffering from a serious infectious disease.

Like many children-story authors, Potter was not a writer by profession. Her chief enthusiasm was natural history. Childhood family holidays in Perthshire and the Lake District had given her the freedom to experience the natural world first-hand. 【1】 Owing to Potter’s illustrations, the humanized rabbits seemed to exist in a recognizably real place. As Potter once admitted, the “careful botanical studies of my youth” informed the reality of her fantasy drawings. 【2】 In these images, Peter in the vegetable garden ate radishes (萝卜) or jumped off the wall.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902. 【3】 However, Warne disagreed. Only after Potter had the book privately published did Warne change his mind. It was an immediate success, much to Potter’s surprise. “The public must be fond of rabbits! What a shocking quantity of Peter,” she said. The original tales, under the Warne imprint, are still available today.

【4】 In 1903, she registered a Peter Rabbit doll, making him the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy. After that, there were licensed wallpapers, board games and painting books. She earned large amounts of money. After her death, almost all her property was left to the National Trust.

A．Potter surely had a business mind.

B．A decade later, with slight adjustments, the lines formed the opening to what became the bestselling.

C．It was this experience that gave Peter Rabbit its unique atmosphere of believable wonder.

D．Potter was determined that the book should be small enough to fit into a child’s hands and inexpensive.

E．She spent holidays in the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, which she closely observed and painted.

F．Though her later stories would contain more strikingly detailed illustrations, The Tale of Peter Rabbit has charming pictures of its naughty hero.

24、Are we in the middle of a workplace revolution?

Pool tables, nap-pods and free food. They sound like things at an all-inclusive hoilday resort(度假胜地) rather than in an office. However, digital tech companies have redesigned the office and provided unusual benefits to make the workplace a more pleasant and productive place to be. For these companies, the days of individual work area where people would work on their own for eight hours a day are no more.

This trend is now spreading outside Silicon Valley. Bob Randell, director of MiCareer, says, “Everyone’s realizing that tech companies don’t provide fancy benefits or games areas in order to seem cool and trendy. They want their staff to feel good about themselves and their jobs. Happy employees are less likely to leave to work for a competitor and, most importantly, they are more productive.”

This new kind of workplace also encourages people to cooperate and to be creative. Playing table tennis with league you rarely work with can lead to new ways of working and fresh thinking. Thinking over a problem while lying in a hammock(吊床) might be the best way to find its solution.

However, this doesn’t mean employers should immediately offer free ice cream, replace desks with sofas or let staff bring pets to work. “Firms have to make sure their benefits are of real interest to their employees, and that they can afford them for the long term.' If a company stops offering a benefit, staff happiness goes down and people are less satisfied,” says Anna Tang, head of HR at DigitalFore.

We advise our managers to monitor the effects of the benefits carefully. We now offer free breakfasts instead of free lunches. This persuades people to arrive early and to start work with good energy levels, which makes them more productive. Large free lunches just made them feel sleepy.

This revolution in the workplace is unlikely to slow down. As Randell says, “All businesses can improve by increasing creativity, cooperation and happiness at work. The most successful ones do exactly that, and which companies don't want to be successful?”

【1】What trend is spreading among tech companies?

A.Expanding businesses outside Silicon Valley. B.Improving managers' working conditions.

C.Bettering workplaces for employees. D.Reducing daily working hours.

【2】Which is the major advantage of the workplace revolution?

A.Stopping people leaving their jobs.

B.Increasing people' s productivity.

C.Attracting high quality people to the company.

D.Encouraging sharing ideas with different people.

【3】What should companies that intend to improve do?

A.Serve the staff once and for all. B.Keep offering short-term returns.

C.Control the costs of extra expenses. D.Provide benefits for employees really

【4】Which of the following might be the best subtitle?

A.Why office life is changing and how to manage it

B.Why workplace revolution is unlikely to take place

C.Why digital technology companies are so successful

D.Why modern offices and unusual benefits are bad for business
