Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s, fingerprints (指纹) were the easiest way to solve serious crime. It's believed that each one of us has our own fingerprint. But do you know that our fingerprints can show a lot about us
According to The Conversation, fingerprints can show the lifestyle and environment, eating habits, possible medical problems and even the job of a person.
So how can we work all these out from just a simple fingerprint
Well, a fingerprint is formed when a finger touches a surface. Most fingerprints can't be seen to the eye and require(要求) a chemical development process in order to make them shown. Stuck(粘住) between the raised(凸起的) lines of a fingerprint are things that can tell a story about who we are. Things like sweat, blood and food show a lot of information about us.
Besides, its use could be much wider. For example, it may be helpful in the future to doctors treating their patients. A fingerprint check may also tell a doctor whether a patient is properly having a medicine. In the treatment of some of the most serious illnesses, having proper medicine is important.
In the future, fingerprint science can be used by the police and help doctors keep us in the best possible health.
31.What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. DNA can be used to solve serious crime.

A. lifestyle

9.D ——看这个算式1.01365≈37.8。这意味着什么 ——每天做出一点努力,你会取得很大的进步。答语前半句为一个省略的条件状语从句,补充完整为:If you make a little effort every day。在含有if引导的条件状语从句的复合句中,时态遵循"主将从现"原则,由此可以判定主句用一般将来时。
10.A ——有些人认为机器人将会和人类打仗。 ——我不同意。我认为它们会对我们友好的。I disagree"我不同意"; I agree"我同意"; I think so"我认为如此";That sounds bad"那听起来真糟糕"。由空后句子可知A项符合语境。
