( A )Can you swim? Swimming is one of the most popular activities in summer. It can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn it. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It’s wise to be afraid. The young understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.When you swim, you should follow certain rules:★ Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don’t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, you may get into trouble.★ Don’t go beyond your abilities.

What inside our bodies makes us grow in a certain way? The answer is DNA. It was first discovered by a young Swiss doctor in 1868.DNA is like a computer program for your body. Almost every cell(细胞) in your body includes DNA. The way DNA in the cell decides why you are the way you are. Forexample your friend might have larger ears than you. This is because their DNA is different from yours.DNA lives in the cell and is ordered in a structure called a “double helix(双螺旋)”. In each double helix there are links called as chromosomes(染色体). These chromosomes are made from four bases that arrange （分类，安排）themselves in millions of different ways. The way these bases choose to line up is what makes the DNA code for that cell.DNA is also called a “gene(基因)”. This is a very interesting thing. Genes are passed down from your parents. That is why you might have the same smile like your dad’s or mom’s!In February, scientists found the skeleton(骨架) of Richard III, King of England from 1483-1485, under a car park in England. It seems unlikely that scientists could identify(识别) a 527-year-old skeleton. However, they matched （使相配）the skeleton’s DNA to a sample from one of his direct descendants(后代). How amazing!A. A Swiss scientistB. A Swiss doctorC. A young studentD. A Swiss worker13. Which of the following is Wrong?A. DNA is a part of the cell.B. Different people have different DNA.C.
