DNA is the reason why we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own. People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are real messages. They are written in the DNA with a special language. In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we do not understand what they all do. By under standing what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people.

When do we usually finish our homework? Here is some advice for us to finish our homework well. Doing homework should be the first thing, and we should do our homework as soon as we get home even if we have after-school activities. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching (伸展) breaks. We should always remember that it is our duty to do our homework. Don’t depend on others for help. Please try to find the answer ourselves because we will learn much more that way. When we have a question, especially something about a science or maths, don’t always turn to our teacher!It is a good idea to try to find the answer ourselves.

Setting a time limit (限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10—15 minutes is good for a child that’s aged 6—8. A time of 20—30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9—12. Kids can keep studying for 30—45 minutes at the ages of 13—15.

It is a lamp (灯) that uses no electricity. It was invented by Alfredo Moser, a Brazilian engineer, and it brings light to homes and small businesses in some poor countries. The Moser lamp is made of a plastic bottle (塑料瓶) filled with water and a little bleach (漂白剂). It is fixed into a round hole in the top of a building, so that the upper part appears in the sun and the lower part hangs down into the room. The sunshine falls on the upper part of the bottle and makes the water produce light, so the bottom of the bottle shines like an electric bulb (灯泡). Although it doesn’t work at night, it is widely used in many very poor and crowded areas. In those areas, houses often have small windows or none at all. Even during the day, the room is dark. And the lamp helps a lot. This idea came up because of a power cut (停电). That day, Moser and his friends talked about how to live without electricity. They imagined if they were lost in the wild, how could they give the alarm? One suggested using a lens (透镜) to focus the sunshine and start a fire.

It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason why we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own. People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are real messages. They are written in the DNA with a special language. In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we do not understand what they all do. By under standing what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people.

The Northern Lights appear as beautiful colors in the night sky. The most common color of the Northern Lights is green. However, they can also be red, pink, yellow or purple. What causes the Northern Lights? Like all the natural light on the earth, they come from the sun.

They then collide (碰撞) with the gases around the earth, which causes beautiful light with colors. The colors of the Northern Lights have something to do with the height. For example, when the electrically charged particles collide with the gases less than 150 miles from the earth's surface, they produce green light. When the collision (碰撞) happens higher than 150 miles, they make red light. Over time, many people have tried to explain the Northern Lights. Some cultures have ancient stories about them. Today, however, we know the science behind the Northern Lights, and people travel thousands of miles each year hoping to see them. Many say it is a magical experience! 111．What is the most common color of the Northern Lights?
