12、e tote bag（大手提袋）.”Lori Arguelles is the executive director for environmental education at the Alice Ferguson Foundation.”Over time we realized that really just doing trash cleanups was the symptom of the problem,not getting to the root cause.And so it was just a little over a decade ago that we star

19、ential cancers in advance”.But without the guidance of a qualified genetic counselor,such book-length reports are almost not understood.Li Zongzhe,30,a cardiovascular（心脏血管的）doctor at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan,is about to become Hubei Provinces first intermediate-level genetic counselor.The hospital c

20、urrently has only two elementary-level counselors and none at an advanced-lever.In 2004,Li attended Huazhong University of Science and Technologys Tongji Medical College and studied under Professor Wang Daowen,director of the hospitals genetics clinic.Now,after a days work,Li goes to his office on t

27、r second child 2-4 months after pregnancy.31.What is the best title of the passage?A.An interest-driven doctor B.A genetic counselorC.A genetic test D.A medical guidanceDIf you suddenly found out you only had 6 months to live,would the things in front of you matter to you?Would the emails waiting fo

28、r a response matter?Would the work youre doing matter?Would a big car and nice house and high-paying job and cool computer and mobile device and nice shoes and clothes matter?Im not saying they wouldnt matterbut its important to ask yourself whether they would.For many of us,its the loved ones in ou
