12、nd the last one Jane Goodall.2.

13、is step, I use Task-based Language Teaching method, which can give students a clear and specific purpose while skimming and scanning the context.Task 1 General idea (3 mins)Prediction is an important skill in grasping the idea of a contest.

17、ed the chimps for many years in Africa and helped people understand how much they behave like human. Jane was determined to work with animals in their own environment.

18、stand and respect the life of these animals.

23、cting as a guide, lead the students to get their own correct value of gender and society.

41、 feel if someone gave you an envelope with a description（描述）of every one of your genes? Supposing this information could tell you what illnesses you were likely to get, or even what illness you might die of, would you open the envelope?Its a difficult question to answer. But the fact is that scienti
42、sts have already begun to discover how certain genes influence us. And in the next decade, they will learn a lot more.We have known for a long time that many of our physical characteristics（特征） are inherited（继承）. For example, our eye colour and certain diseases are decided by our genes. As long as y
43、ou have a good diet, scientists can predict（预测） your height by looking at your parents heights. And we now know that the need to wear glasses has a genetic cause. Our eating habits also appear to be decided by our genes!With other characteristics, things are not so clear. Certainly, scientists have
44、now shown that some traits are strongly influenced by our genes. Do you prefer getting up early or late? To a great extent, its your genes that decide, Do you enjoy dangerous sports such as car racing? There is a gene that influences how much excitement we need. But with most psychological（心理的）chara
45、cteristics, scientists are learning that both our genes and our environment affect us. This is true of things such as how violent（暴力的）we are, and how well we get on with other people. So, even though scientists may soon be able to describe our genes in detail, it does not mean they will be able to p
46、redict our future with any real success.However, the fact is that scientists will be able to “read“ our genes in the near future. This will create new problems. To give a few examples, insurance companies may not want to insure people whose genes predict certain illnesses. Employers may not want to
47、employ people who have a gene for violence. One thing is already clear with these new developments, life is going to become even more complicated（复杂的）!56. Which characteristics is mostly likely to be inherited?A. Eye color. B. Interest. C. Future. D. Ability.57. What kind of problem will these new d
48、evelopments create?A. You may die of a certain illness described in the envelope.B. There will be an increased number of violent people.C. People may take part in dangerous sports such as car racing.D. Insurance companies may refuse to insure people with a gene for certain disease.58. Why wont scientists be able to tell us a lot about our future?A. Because were affected not only by our genes but al
