10、self turned away from my classmates and ran into the bathroom. Only water could erase my shame. “I washed the blood off,” I told him later. He smiled, and I was satisfied. I was one of them again. Tomorrow I would tell my mother that I wouldnt wear the tilak (吉祥痣), the prayer mark that was applied d
11、uring major religious ceremonies.As a teen, I refused to take Indian food for lunch. I deleted Bollywood songs from my iPod in case a friend saw them. I hated my name which was too long. I was tired of having to correct new teachers when they mispronounced it. But even as I outwardly avoided my cult
12、ure, inwardly I was attached to it. The holiday that excited me most was Diwali, when my mom would cook a banquet. To me, the prettiest woman in the world was Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, and I often found myself concerned about major social issues in India. Clearly, I was two-faced.But with a
13、ge came the intellectual maturity that reconciled (协调) my inner and outer identities. I attended McNair, a school that took pride in its diversity. I was exposed to books like Jhumpa Lahirs The Namesake. I began to realize that a persons culture framed his perspectives and that a true understanding
14、of the world could only be achieved if different cultures were openly accepted. With this understanding came a new-found comfort in myself. My Indian ethnicity was something to be proud of.Now looking in the mirror, I lightly run my fingers over the spot on my forehead where the tilak belongs. “Its

18、ence asks, “Are we still evolving?” People want to know if humans are getting taller, smarter, better looking or more athletic. My answer is truthful but disappointing: Were almost certainly evolving, but we don t know in what direction or how fast.Weve seen some evolution in our species over the pa
19、st few millennia (千年), but it was detected by reconstructing history from DNA sequences. For example, we know that during the past 10,000 years, several populations of humans those keeping sheep, cows or goats for milk gained the ability to digest dairy products. This trait was useless in our earlie
20、r ancestors who, after babyhood, never encountered milk.And in the past 3,000 years, Tibetans have acquired genetic adaptations that allowed them to develop well in their high-altitude, low-oxygen home. But these well-documented changes are limited to particular populations, so the evidence for rece
21、nt evolution of our entire species, remains not much.The authors of “Evolving Ourselves” disagree. Not only, they claim, are we evolving faster than ever, but were doing it to ourselves. Juan Enriquez and Steve Gullans argue that humans have controlled evolution not just in our own species but virtu
22、ally in all species: “For better or worse, we are increasingly in charge. We are the primary drivers of change. We will directly and indirectly determine what lives, what dies, where, and when. We are in a different phase of evolution: the future of life is now in our hands.”According to the authors
23、, weve replaced natural selection with what they call “unnatural selection.” Overfishing, for example, has reduced the average size of many fish species, for taking the biggest fish selects in favor of those that reproduce when younger and smaller.Yet while theres no doubt that were changing the pla
24、net, the claim that were completely changing evolution on the planet does not follow. Lets take those fish that are evolving to reproduce smaller and younger for example. This phenomenon has been documented in many species that we eat, but this is just a minuscule fraction(极小的一部分) of the30,000 known
25、 species of fish.The authors speak with baseless assurance about how our species is evolving in response to nearly everything. When they claim, for example, our ingestion (摄取) of drugs and exposure to chemicals mean that “our children s brains are evolving fast,” they are abusing the word “evolution
26、.” Our childrens brains may be changing fast in response to the new pharmacological (药理学的) environment, but change alone is not evolution.25. The two examples in Paragraph 2 are given to_.A. show in what direction humans evolveB. explain the importance of DNA sequencesC. illustrate the evidence for

Is unnatural selection powerful?C. Are humans the main driver of evolution? D. Does evolution require many geneti

31、lore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own.
