5、Dear son,

The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me．

If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   1   teaching it to you．If, when I speak to you, I   2   the same things thousand and one times, do not   3   me, listen to me．When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   4   you got to sleep．When I do not want to have a   5  , neither shame me nor scold me．Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   6  , in order that you wanted to bathe．When you see my   7   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking（嘲弄） smile． I taught you  8   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…．When at some moment I lose the memory or the   8   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   10   to me．

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me．I know well   11   I need to and when not．When my   12   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   13  , the same way I did when you gave your first   14  ．And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   15   any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry．Someday you will understand．

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived．Some day you will discover that,  16   my mistakes, I always wanted the   17   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you．You must not feel sad, angry or impotent（無可奈何） for seeing me   18  you．You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   19   living．Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   20  ．I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you．

I love you, Son．

3、It happened one morning 20 years ago．A British scientist Alec Jeffrey came across DNA fingerprinting: He identified the patterns of genetic material that are unique to almost every individual．His discovery changed everything from the way we do criminal investigations to the way we decide family law．But the professor of genetics at the University of Leicester, UK, is still surprised, and a bit worried, by the power of the technology he released upon the world．

The patterns within DNA are unique to each individual, except identical twins, who share the same pattern．The ability to identify these patterns has been used to convict（證明…有罪） murderers and to clear people who are wrongly accused．It is also used to identify the victims of war and settle disputes over who is the father of a child．

Jeffrey said he and his colleagues made the discovery by accident while tracking genetic variations（變異）．But, within six months of the discovery, genetic fingerprinting had been used in an immigration case, to prove that an African boy really was his parents’ son．·In 1986, it was used for the first time in a British criminal case: It cleared one suspect after being accused of two murders and helped convict another man．

DNA testing is now very common．In Britain, a national criminal database established in 1995 now contains 2．5 million DNA samples．The U．S．a(chǎn)nd Canada are developing similar systems． But there are fears about the stored DNA samples and how they could be used to harm a person’s privacy．That includes a person’s medical history, racial origin or psychological profile．“There is the long-term risk that people can get into these samples and start getting additional information about a person’s paternity（父子關(guān)系）or risk of disease,” Jeffrey said．

DNA testing is not an unfailing proof of identity．Still, it is considered a reasonably reliable system for determining the things it is used for．Jeffrey estimates the probability of two individuals’ DNA profiles matching in the most commonly used tests at one in a billion．
