If it looks like a duck, walks and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck. But tackling millions of species in t hisway has proven to be a recipe for confusion. As scientists have found to th eircost, what looks like a duck may in fact be a goose.More recently, genetic techniques have been applied, particularly for distinguishing the more difficult-to-identity species such as viruses and bacteria by co mparing pieces of DNA. Might this approach be more generally applicable? Paul H ebert and his colleagues in Canada think it might be. Just as barcodes and the “universal product code” numbering scheme uniquely identify different items a t a supermarket checkout, they suggest that some stretches of DNA could perform a similar function in living things. In a paper just published in Proceedingsof the Royal Society B, they discuss how long such a genetic barcode needs tob e, and where it might be found.A universal product code found on the high street consists of a string of 11 digits, each of which is one of ten numerals, providing 100 billion unique combin ations. Genetic material, however, uses a quaternary, rather than a denary, coding system. In theory, it would only be necessary to sample 15 of those lettersto create one billion unique codes.In practice, however, the characteristics of DNA mean that 15 letters are not e nough. Unlike the arbitrary numbers of a universal product code, the letters ofDNA are not random, because they code for something that a biological meaning.

Television has helped improve standards of education. Use specific reasons and details to support youranswer.I disagree that television has helped improved standards of education for a num berof reasons. The first and probably the most important reason is the program ming.Around the world it is movies, sit-com, soap operas, pop music and talk s howswhich dominate TV screens. There may be nothing wrong with these, and they arecertainly popular with audiences, but the content of these programs has not helped to make people better educated.Typical television programs have also had a bad effect on viewers? Attentionsp an, that is, on how long they can concentrate. Most TV programs do notrequire much concentration and young viewers, especially, get used to this.Education, on the other hand, does require concentration and young peoplefind this increa singly difficult.Another characteristic of television is that it encourages a passive attitude in viewers instead of an active one. Most popular TV programs encourage anuncri tical response, but education requires you to think about what is presentedto you, to react to it and in some way to make use of it. In addition, passive TV-watching has often taken the place of more active pursuits such as reading, music, playing board games and conversation, all of which are more educationaltha n a typical evening of TV.Finally, it seems to be true that television makes it difficult for viewers, especially young ones, to distinguish properly between fact and fiction. This con fusion, which is really another kind of uncritical response, again works against educational principles.Television has done many good things. It entertains lonely, old and sick people;it certainly helps countries ’ economies by selling products, and can be very informative by bringing news from around the locality, the country and the world into peoples ’ homes. However, by making people passive and uncritical, telev ision has a negative effect on education.范文 2：There have been many arguments in recent years whether nuclear energy should be used to generate electricity. Do you think nuclear energy should or should not be used for this purpose in your country? Which side do you agree with? Use sp ecific reasons and examples to support your answer.Before giving my opinion, I think it is important to look at the arguments on b oth sides. People who support using nuclear energy to produce electricity usual lygive some or all of the following reasons. The first argument is that it ispotentially cheaper than any other way. The second is that other ways ofproduc ing electricity require nonrenewable resources, such as coal and oil, andone d ay these will be used up. This, they say, is not the case if we use nuclearene rgy. The third reason is more of a political one: some countries do not haveth e raw materials, such as coal, oil or water, which are needed to generateelect ricity and so they have to depend too much on other countries.People who attack using nuclear energy for generating electricity generally saythat it is too dangerous, both now and in the future. They point to severe nuclear accidents, such as Chernobyl, and some others in the United States, and say that the effects are so bad that the risk of an accident, even if the risk isvery small, is not worthwhile. They also often say that there will be problemsin the future of how to store the dangerous waste from old nuclear power stations, which can be deadly for thousands of years.As far as my own country is concerned, I believe there are two main reasons whyit should not try to use nuclear energy at this time. Firstly, we have plentyof oil and hydroelectric energy from which to generate electricity. Secondly, i f countries like the United States and Russia can suffer nuclear accidents, itwould be very difficult to guarantee safety in my country. Furthermore, wehave many better and more urgent things to do with the money.常用词语与表达法1.
