June 26, 2000—the Human Genome(基因組) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic(遺傳的)map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延長) human life. But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.

Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet（迄今） terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.

       Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist (遺傳學(xué)家) who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.

We are all born with wide – eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90,cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach (巴赫). As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Years wrinkle(使生皺紋) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.”

If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.”

We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be.” We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.

The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that         .

A. music can arouse people’s enthusiasm

B. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed

C. enthusiasm can make people feel young

D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy

How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?

A. Two.   B. Three. C. Four.  D. Five.

The author holds the view that       .

A. enthusiastic people will never get old

B. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life

C. enthusiasm is more important than experience

D. enthusiasm can give people more success and fame
