Everyone has traits (特性) that make us who we are. We have physical traits, like red hair, long legs and funny-looking toes. We also have character traits including humor, warmth, creativity and so on.

Certain physical traits are fully inherited (遗传), such as blue eyes and knobby knees. About25,000to 35,000 genes (基因) are in a single cell in the human body. These genes carry the traits that are passed down genetically from parents to their children.

Many traits exist between inheritance and development -- the interaction with environment. One example is body shape. It tends to be passed down from parents. But once diet becomes a factor, environment begins to play an important role in how the body develops. Body shape is a trait that is a mixture of inheritance from parents and infh ence of environment.

So lots of our most important traits have been learned, rather than inherited. For example, if you're really great at video games, it's not because your parents passed down the skills in genes. It's because you have practiced a lot of video games and developed those skills yourself. If you have kids who turn out to be great at video games, it is because they put in the hours, learned the skills, and memorized the moves that are necessary to play the video games well.

Of course, some of us have brains that are more advantageous to video game playing. Say you were born with a large and powerful part of the brain that controls your hand-eye coordination. That is inherited. What you do with it, how you choose to develop that advantage, is up to you. You can pierce your nose or get a tattoo (纹身) --it doesn't matter how much you change your body during the lifetime. None of those things will turn into genetic material to be passed down to the next generation. However, if your children grow up in an environment with role models who are pierced and covered in tattoos, they are more likely to get piercings and tattoos!

24._____________________is a physical trait that is fully inherited.

A. The eye color  B. The special diet 

C. The body shape  D. The pierced nose 

25.What does the underlined word "That " refer to?

A. Video game playing.      B. Advantageous brains. 

C. The shape of your brain.      D. Your hand-eye coordination. 

26. According to the passage, the writer believes that

A. character traits can hardly change during the lifetime

B. the skills of video game playing are passed down to kids

C. a kid's hand-eye coordination isn't related to inheritance

D. environment plays an important role in traits development

27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Why are Traits Important? 

B. How does Inheritance Influence Traits? 

C. Where do Traits Come from? 

D. What are Physical and Character Traits? 

C

Once upon a time, a sage (贤人) was passing through a street of the capital city of a kingdom. While he was walking, he noticed a coin on the side of the road and picked it up. The sage was used to living a simple life and had no use of that coin, so he thought of giving it to the one who was in need of it.

He strolled (漫步) around the streets throughout the day but didn't find such a person. At night he reached a rest area and spent his night there.

The next morning, he woke up and was doing his daily activities. King who was passing by that rest area saw him and ordered his soldiers to stop there,

King went to the sage and said, “Great Sage! Today, I will fight with another state so that my kingdom can be expanded. Please bless me to be victorious …”

After thinking, the sage took out the coin he was holding on and gave it to the king. The king was confused and annoyed about this, so he asked, “Why did you give me this coin? What's the meaning of this?"

The sage explained, “Oh, great King! I found this coin yesterday while strolling around the streets of your capital. But I had no use of it, so I decided that I would donate it to someone needy. The whole day I walked around meeting people in the city. With whomever, I communicated, found that they are living happily and satisfied with whatever they have and because of that I still keep this coin. Today, the king of this state, still has the greedy desire(贪欲) to gain more and isn't satisfied with what he already has. So I feel like a person who needs this coin most is you."

The king realized his mistake. He thanked the sage for the precious life lesson and gave up the planned war.
