Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour. The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebra fish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebra fish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes (黑色素体). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.It appears that, like the golden zebra fish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation (突变)in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin. However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra fish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun, which can cause skin cancer. But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng. Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colours, said Cheng. The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment done on Michael Jackson.56. According to the passage, scientists have found .A. people living in northern latitudes need more sunlightB. the reason why people change their skin colourC. the reason why people get skin cancerD. the gene that determines skin colour 57. We can infer from the passage that .A. people like to change their skin colourB. a mutation in the gene for melanosome production is different in human and zebra fish geneC. people will be able to change their skin colour without chemical treatment in the futureD. skin cancer can be cured now58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to the passage?A. The version of the pigment gene of Asians and that of Africans are the same. B. Scientists have succeeded in turning the colour of a dark-striped zebra fish into uniform gold. C. Dark skin can protect bodies from utral-violet rays of the sun. D. People like pop king Michael Jackson.59. The passage is probably taken from _. A. a novel B. a science report C. a story book D. a science fictionBSalvation Army Angel ProgramAngel Tree collects gifts for children and families in need.

Utah Association for People with Intellectual Disabilities Holiday Gift Box ProgramThe program serves primarily low-income adults with intellectual disabilities who don't qualify for other programs because of age limits, said Joyce Whalen, the association's board president. To donate, visit the association at 1326 S.2100 East from 9am to about 5:30 pm to choose an ornament (装饰物) that provides information about an individual who will benefit from the program.

The underlined phrases "biological homes" in the third program refers to _.A. homes where they are just brought up B. homes where their natural parents live C. homes where they learn biology D. homes where are related to bacteria 63. From the last program, we can infer that _.A. the patients often forgot to come to the hospitalB. the patients are often forgotten to be looked afterC. the patients are being taken good care ofD. the patients had a poor memory in the hospitalCIf a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen (氮) dissolved (溶解) in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure. The consequence, if the bubbles (气泡) accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent body thus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or brain, the consequence can be death.Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression (减压) sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs (鱼龙). That these ancient sea-animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil(化石)bones that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.
