Gold Museum of PeruBSam Trafton was my violin teacher and what he said during one of my lessons often came back to my ears later. One day he asked me how much practice

16、I was doing, I said three or four hours a day. “Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?“ I try to.“ Well, dont, he shouted. “When you grow up, time wont come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them, five or ten before school, after lunch, between household ta

17、sks. Spread the practice through the day, and the violin playing will become a part of your life. When I was teaching at Boston, I wanted to write a novel, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and

18、 my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Sam had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my surprise, at the end of the week I had finished a chapter. Later on I continued my novels

19、by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedulehad become heavier than ever, every day there were unoccupied moments that could be caught and put to use. I even took up violin-playing again, finding that the short moments of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and violin prac

20、tice.There is an important trick in this time: you must get into your work quickly. If you have only five minutes for writing, you cant afford to waste for chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortu

21、nately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let it go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes.

26、, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation 突變 which took place 6,000-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today."Originally, we all had brown eyes," said Professor Hans Eiberg. &q

27、uot; But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene 基因 in our body resulted in the creation of a switch, which literally turned off the ability to produce brown eyes. " The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin 黑色素. It gives colour to our ha

28、ir, eyes and skin.The switch, which is located in the gene neighboring to OCA2, does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the eyeballeffectively turning brown eyes to blue. The effect of the switch on OCA2 is very specific th

29、erefore. If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour.Variation in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the eyeball, but blue-eyed individuals only have a

30、small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes. "From this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor," says Professor Eiberg. "They have all inherited 繼承 the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA." Brown-eyed indi

31、viduals, by contrast, have considerable individual variation in the area of their DNA that controls melanin production.The mutation of brown eyes to blue represents neither a positive nor a negative mutation. It is one of several mutations such as hair colour, baldness, and beauty spots, which neith

32、er increases nor reduces a human's chance of survival. As Professor Eiberg says, "it simply shows that nature is constantly affecting the human gene and trying out different changes as it does so.28. What is the finding of Professor Hans Eiberg's team?A. The eye color can be changed by

33、adjusting genes today.B. Blue-eyed people have survived due to their special genes.C. A genetic mutation leads to the change of people's eye color.D. The eye color can help discover where people's ancestors were.29. What can we learn about "the switch" from Paragraph 3 ?A. It helps

35、re melanin in their eyes.D. They have more variation in gene.31. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?A. Nature affects our genes.B. Only the fittest can survive.C.

36、g that can be developed right from childhood. Playing memory games on a regular basis offers a wide range of benefits to kids.
