19、s the real deal should be careful now. A new identification method could make recognizing fakes much easier. The technique allows scientists to tag paintings and other artworks with tiny pieces of DNA, which act like a signature. If an artwork missed the tag, people would immediately know it was an

20、illegal copy.DNA is normally found inside the cells of all living things. However, researchers at the State University of New York at Albany, who developed the tagging technique, have created DNA in a lab, whose code is just as unique as that of DNA found in nature.The scientists would apply the eng

21、ineered DNA to a small tag and place it on an artwork. Over time, the DNA in the tag would bond with the art at a molecular(分子的) level. That way, even if the tag is removed, the DNA remains. Possible buyers and sellers can use a scanner to read a DNA tag or, if the tag is missing, swab(擦拭) the artwo

22、rk to test for DNA inside. Then they check the molecular marker against a database of artists to make sure the work is real.Some famous artists have already agreed to try this high-tech way to sign their art. Thats because fakes are huge problems in the art world. Its said that as many as two out of

23、 every five artworks sold these days are fakes. Some seem so convincing that experts are needed to prove whether theyre real or not.Although a painting may be perfectly copied, it would be nearly impossible to copy a DNA tag. Applying the tag doesnt harm the work itself. Even better, they each cost

27、man from New York PBB is a program in which specially-selected prisoners from prisons are trained in the preparation of puppies to become service dogs for the handicapped(残疾人), or police dogs to serve police forces.My wife and I were so moved when we watched the program. It is a win-win situation at

28、 all points. First, it makes a prisoner, who may never have the chance to be released, go back to the community by joining in this program and offering every minute of every day working, loving, and training a puppy for future service. It is difficult for them, but they realize the importance of thi

29、s program. In addition, most of them have the chance ( for the first time in their lives) to experience warm love through an animal.Second, the program saves tens of thousands of dollars that it would cost to train these dogs through traditional ways. All donations to the program are used to buy dog

30、 food, training supplies, and veterinary care.Finally, our society benefits from service dogs which can protect people from danger, search and rescue humans after a serious disaster, or become the lifeline for a handicapped person. The last of these goes far beyond the fact that dogs can open.Fridge

34、kly became bored with college. He liked being at Reed, just not taking the required classes. In fact, he was surprised when he found out that there were strict course requirements. When Wozniak came to visit, Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained, “They are making me take all these courses.”

35、 Wozniak replied, “Yes, thats what they do in college.” Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted, such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the creativity and the chance to meet girls. “I would never have refused to take the courses you were supp

36、osed to, thats a difference in our personality.” said Wozniak surprisedly and admiringly.Jobs also began to feel guilty about spending so much of his parents money on an education that did not seem worthwhile. “All of my working-class parents savings were being spent on my college tuition (学费).” he

37、detailed his experience in a famous ceremony address at Stanford. “I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it wo

38、uld all work out okay.He didnt actually want to leave Reed；he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that didnt interest him. Surprisingly, Reed tolerated that. “He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive,” said the dean of students, Jack Dudman. “He refused to accept

39、 automatically received truths, and he wanted to examine everything himself.” Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition.“The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didnt interest me, and begin dropping in

40、on the ones that looked interesting,” he said. Among them was a calligraphy (书法) class that appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn. “I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces (字体), about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about

41、 what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically fine in a way that science cant capture, and I found it fascinating.”It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection (相交点) of the arts and technology. In all of his products, technol

42、ogy would be married to great design, elegance, human touches, and even romance. “If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had so many typefaces. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them.”Meanwhile Jobs ha

43、d a hard time at Reed. He went barefoot most of the time, wearing sandals when it snowed. Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him, trying to keep up with his obsessive diets. He returned soda bottles for spare change, continued his long hard journeys to the free Sunday dinners at the Hare Krishna temple

44、, and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage apartment he rented for $20 a month. When he needed money, he found work at the psychology department lab maintaining the electronic equipment that was used for animal behaviour experiments. Occasionally Chrisann Brennan would come to visit. Their rela

45、tionship developed abnormally. But mostly he tended to the beginning of his own soul and personal goal for enlightenment (开明).“I came of age at a magical time,” he reflected later, “Our consciousness was raised by Zen, and also by LSD” Even later in life he would credit certain drugs for making him

46、more enlightened. “Taking LSD was a valuable experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that theres another side to the coin, and you cant remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It heightened my sense of what was importantcreating wonderful things instead of maki

47、ng money, puttingthings back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could. ”1、Jobs and Wozniak differed in _.Aapproach to freedom Bappetite for knowledgeCattitude to requirements Daffection for college life2、One factor in Jobs decision to leave college is that _.Ahis fami
