A．The great impact and progress in genetic engineering B．Worries about privacy protection C．Worries about medical use of genetic engineering D．Genetic knowledge helps to predict diseases E．Genetic knowledge may not be properly used AB．The application of genetic engineering in the medical fields

 
【小题1】__________
Current research into the human gene system is helping us understand why people have predispositions（易患某病倾向）to certain diseases．Knowing our genetic makeup can help us to judge whether or not we may be stricken by particular illness, such as cancer．Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what a child's genetic disorder will be．Scientists have already isolated and identified the genes responsible for the more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect human beings．
【小题2】__________
The implications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments or cures for serious diseases．Millions of people already use genetically engineered drugs to treat heart disease, cancer, AIDS, and strokes （中风）. But with the research that is now being conducted, we may find cures to many more diseases．In the near future, genetic experimentation will also allow parents to select the traits of their children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be able to be controlled, and many parents are excited about this potential.
【小题3】__________
Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research allowsFor example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against．Another problem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness．What if they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die of?
【小题4】__________
Many people believe that history has not always shown human decision-making to be bright when it comes to ethical（道德的）choices. Jeremy Rifkin is probably the most well known opponent of genetic engineering. He believes that humans are not responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not “play God” He asks, “Just because it can be done, does that mean it should be done?” He points out that our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society．
【小题5】．__________
One of the fears expressed about genetic experimentation involves privacy. Already blood sample taken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic research without the patients’ permission. Most people would agree that one’s health and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to this information, it could have a large impact on insurance coverage or costs; if employers gain access to the information, it could have a large impact on hiring or promotion decisions. The possibilities for discrimination are obvious．

F．Have a great inner strengt

      Wanting to know what makes a good leader is already the first step to achieving your goal.However，there is always room for improvement.A leader might be the head of the organization or team，but he or she cannot function well without teamwork.Unfortunately，a lot of leaders let their positions get into their heads.They move without discussing with the rest of the team.What makes a good leader is a sense of teamwork.Although you might be the one calling the shots，you can’t completely ignore the people you’re responsible for.

62.

Quick thinking is a necessary leadership skill.Most of the time，this is what saves the day.A good leader must know how to act swiftly and must encourage quick thinking among his or her people.The success of a group has a lot to do with both the leader and the team.It’s never just about one person only.As long as you remember what your goal is，you’ll be alright.And these additional tips on what makes a good leader will help you become a better person.

63.

Another important factor of what makes a good leader is strength.Whether it’s strength in making a decision or strength in facing challenges，a good leader knows not to show weakness.A good leader doesn’t cower (退缩) from the enemy.He or she doesn’t fear challenges or difficulties；but instead，he or she deals with them head­on.

64.

A good leader sets a good example for his or her subordinates (下级)．If you’re very particular about tardiness (缓慢)，then you have to make sure that you’re always on time.If you have strong feelings against cheating，then you yourself should not be tempted to cheat.Set a good example for the people in your team.Actions speak louder than words.

65.

A good leader takes responsibility.He or she doesn’t try to figure out a way to ignore the mess that might have been created.Instead，a good leader faces the problems and difficult situations and deals with them as they come.Being responsible also means avoiding disaster and making the right decisions.Keep in mind that you’re responsible for the rest of your team.
