你很重要

  这个故事发生在纽约。

  一位中学老师决定以告诉她的学生们他们是何等重要的方式,来表达她对学生们的赞赏和褒扬。她决定按照顺序把每个学生都叫到讲台前,然后告诉大家这位同学对整个班级和对她本人的重要性。她还发给每个学生一条蓝色缎带,上面写着四个金色的字:“我很重要”。

  然后,那位老师还想在班上做一个调查研究,看看这样的行为究竟会对一个社区造成什么样的冲击。她又发给每个学生三个缎带和别针,让他们到社会上按照她在课堂上赞赏褒扬他们所使用的这种方式,把缎带赠送给他们认为值得感谢和尊敬的人。然后跟踪观察所产生的结果,一个星期后再回到班级向她报告。

  班上有一个男孩子来到邻近的公司,找到一位年轻的主管,他曾经帮助男孩做过人生设计。因此,这个男孩子就将一条蓝色的缎带用别针别在了他的衬衫上,并且把另外的两条缎带和别针也给了他,并且向他解释说:“最近,我们正在做一项调查研究,就是我们必须到社会上把蓝色缎带送给值得感谢和尊敬的人,再把多余的缎带和别针给他们,让他们也能以此向值得他们感谢和尊敬的人表达谢意。下次请您告诉我,我们这种表达方式的效果如何。”

  几天之后,这位年轻的主管来到他的上司那里。从某些角度而言,他的上司是个容易发怒、不易相处的同事,但是却极富才华。他向上司表示他十分仰慕他的创造性天赋。上司听了十分惊讶。接下来,这位年轻的主管请求他的上司接受蓝色缎带,并允许他帮他用别针别在衣服上。他的上司感到非常惊讶,但是却愉快地接受了。

  于是,他郑重地将缎带别在了上司的外套位于心脏正上方的位置上,并把剩下的一条缎带和别针送给了他,然后问道:“您能否帮我个忙?把这条缎带也送给您认为值得您感谢的人。这是一个男孩子送给我的,他的班级正在进行一项调查研究。我们想让这个表达感谢的方式延续下去,最后看看这样做究竟会产生什么样的效果。”

  那天晚上’年轻人的上司回到家中’坐在他十四岁的儿子身旁,轻轻地抚摸着他的头,温和地说:“儿子,今天我遇到了一件不可思议的事。在办公室里,有一个年轻的同事告诉我,他十分仰慕我的创造性天赋,还送给我一条蓝色缎带。想想看,他认为我的创造性天赋如此值得尊敬,甚至将印有‘我很重要’的缎带别在我的外套上,而且还多送我一条缎带和一枚别针,让我也能够送给值得自己感谢和尊敬的人。今天晚上,在下班回家的路上,我就开始琢磨,要把缎带和别针送给谁呢?我一下子就想到了你,儿子,你就是我要感谢的人。

  “因为,这些天以来,我每天回到家里都没有花很多精力和时间来照顾你、陪你,我真的感到很惭愧。而且,有时我还会因为你的学习成绩不太好、房间又脏又乱而对你大吼大叫。真的很对不起。可是,今晚不同了,今晚我只想坐在这儿,让你知道你对我有多重要,除了你妈妈之外,你就是我生命中最重要的人了。你是一个好孩子,我爱你。”

  他的儿子感到非常震惊,注视着父亲的两只大眼晴里闪烁着泪光,他的嘴唇也开始颤抖。最后,他情难自禁,终于“呜呜呜”地哭起来,身体也随之颤抖不已。他泪眼婆娑地看着父亲,哽咽着说:“爸爸……我本想明天去……去自杀的,我……我以为你根本就……就不爱我。现在……现在……我想已经没有那个必要了。”

Can people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. 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 zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.

It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) 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 zebrafish genes.

Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), 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 colour, 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 did on Michael Jackson.

51. The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A. people can not change their skin colour without any pain

B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safely

C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked

D. scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene

52. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical  treatment

B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene

C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer

D. there are two kinds of genes

53. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.

A. find the different genes of humans’

B. prove the humans’ skin colour is determined by the pigment gene

C. find out the reason why the Africans’ skin colour is dark

D. find out the ways of changing peopl’s skin colour

54. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that ________.

A. they are born light-skinned people

B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gen for melanosome production

C. they have fewer activities outside

D. they pay much attention to protecting their skin

55. The writer’s attitude towards the discovery is ________.

A. neutral                     B. negative                   C. positive                    D. indifferent
