  7. Unit 2 Friends and Family Text A Background Information Genes基因（遗传因子） 遗传的物质基础，是DNA或RNA分子上具有遗传信息的特定核苷酸序列。基因通过复制把遗传信息传递给下一代，使后代出现与亲代相似的性状。生物体的生、长、病、老、死等一切生命现象都与基因有关。 TEXT A

  8. Unit 2 Friends and Family Text A Translation Genes are important in making us who we are. But some people believe that their character is a result of childhood experiences more than genes. TEXT A

  9. Unit 2 Friends and Family Text A Translation Genes and Characters 1 What makes us the people we are? Where do we get our characteristics and habits? It is one of the oldest debates in science. Some say it is our experiences in childhood; others say it’s just the genes we get from our parents.

  10. Trent 2 People think identical twins have the same tastes and characteristics, but my brother and I are very different: I’m keen on sport and I’m really active; but he’s really quiet. He has friends, but they’re a bit strange and they always play video games together. We’re probably different because we go to different schools and my parents don’t treat us as “the twins”, as one person. Apart from our appearance, I think the only thing related togenes is having poor sight. But he wears thick glasses and I wear contact lenses! Unit 2 Friends and Family Text A Translation

  11. Angela 3 Being adopted, I can’t help wondering where my character comes from. I get good grades at school and people say Chinese are good students and very hard-working. But so are my adoptive parents. My dad’s clever and mum has a clothes shop in Madrid. I’ve learnt lots from them. I sometimes get disappointed if things go bad and I get really angry. Both my parents are very calm and patient– they never shout. Maybe my anger is because of my genes – but my grandfather says it’s because I have no brothers or sisters and my parents are too liberal! Unit 2 Friends and Family Text A Translation

  12. Justinia 4 Being a scientist, I obviously think genes are important – it’s how evolution works. However, genes are only a small part of who weare: we humans share 30% of our genes withbananas and 98% with chimpanzees. Genes playa part in some illnesses, but having a healthylifestyle is more important and we learn thatbehaviour from our parents. Neither of my parentsare scientists, but they both read a lot and, theytalked to me about lots of different things. I believemy childhood experiences have had great effecton my character.
