Looking back at the past year, I cannot describe how hard it has been for me mentally and physically.‎ For a long time I suffered in silence. I felt as if I was running in circles(圆圈). I kept my tears to my sleep and my loneliness in my bedroom.‎ After my father’s death, I began channeling all that pain into dance. But as a fairly new dancer, I haven’t had too much stage experience. I recently performed at my school’s winter concert for one of my classmates who is dealing with a rare illness. I dedicated(献上)the dance to her and my father. I only had one week. I was so anxious that I felt like I was having a heart attack.‎ Luckily, my best friends came to my aid. What they said to me was one of the kindest things anyone has ever said. I will never forget what one of them said: “You are so beautiful because of your heart and beautiful mind. You have more kindness than some will ever have. I saw how much that dance meant to you, especially how it connected with your memories. It made me cry, that is how incredible you are.”‎ Just surround（环绕）yourself with people like my friend who will never think little of you.

Wrong.‎ New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.‎ In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.‎ According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.‎ When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.‎ This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years.It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) 一it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.‎ Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.‎ ‎12．The function of Paragraph 1 is to .‎ A. give an example ‎ B. introduce the topic of the passage C. make an argument ‎ D. show the main idea of the passage ‎13．Most genetic changes happen because of .‎ A. people’s condition at birth ‎ B. environmental pollution C. people’s bad living habits ‎ D. heart disease and cancer ‎14．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to .‎ A. the cement B. the footprint C. the harmful effect D. the genetic change ‎15．Which of the following statements is true?‎ A.
