Every human being has about 25, 000 genes（基因）.Your genes are part of your DNA. They give your body instructions on how to develop. For example, if your genes tell your body to build long, thin fingers, then you’ll have long, thin fingers.
Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you such as your hair color, your eye color, your weight, your height, and so on. Genes are still a bit of a mystery（神秘）to scientists, but they’re learning new things about them all the time.
Do the genes influence（影响）our personalities People have different ideas. These days, most people agree that the answer to the question is yes. Recent studies have shown that genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose. What is a sense of purpose If a person really wants to complete something and do well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose. A person who does not care about goals has no sense of purpose.
Although scientists agree that our genes influence our personalities, there is another question. How much do they influence us Can we control ourselves, or do our genes control us So far, we still don’t really have an answer.
Genes also influence your health. If a gene has a problem, it’s called a mutated gene. Some mutated genes can cause diseases. That is why if a person has a certain health problem, his or her child is more likely to have that same problem.
As scientists and doctors learn more about genes, they’re also developing a new kind of medicine: gene therapy. Gene therapy means fixing or replacing mutated genes. Scientists are still doing experiments（实验）on gene therapy. It’s possible that in the future, gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are caused by mutated genes.
( )4. What can we learn from the passage
A. Genes can mostly decide how you look.
B. Every human being has the same genes.
C. Genes can never be changed after your birth.
D. Gene therapy will be the best way to cure diseases.
( )5. What is a person with a strong sense of purpose like according to the passage
A. He is quite humorous and likes playing jokes with others.
B. He is usually polite and gets on well with people around him.
C. He is quite serious and doesn’t talk much with other people.
D. He is usually hard-working and tries his best to achieve is goals.
( )6. Which of the following words can best describe gene therapy
A. Successful. B. Hopeless. C. Meaningful. D. Useless.
( )7. The writing purpose of the passage is________.
A. to introduce the recent study on genes B. to explain the secret of genes

五、阅读短文回答问题
Have you ever tasted a kind of snack, which is also of the traditional Chinese of forms of art—sugar painting.
Sugar painting started from the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many people made a living through sugar painting, setting up stalls(货摊)in crowded streets, in front of theatres and busy public places. And now it can still be found in many areas of China.
The sugar painters usually sit before a wooden table. On the side, there is a wooden plate with a revolvable arrow(可旋转箭头)on it. The plate is painted with different pictures such as a dragon, a bird, a flower and so on. After paying, the customers turn the arrow and wait till it stops. The picture pointed by the arrow is the one the painters will make.
Sugar painting is very different from normal painting. The sugar painters use syrup(糖浆)as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth slab(台面)as the “paper”. To make the syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since the syrup may become solid(固体的)if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of the syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting of an animal, a flower or a bike is done.
The number of sugar painters is getting smaller. However, some of them still insist on this art. They make their efforts to hold different activities such as offering classes and giving speeches. Now, sugar painting has already been listed as National Non-Material Culture Heritage.
