My mother is a geneticist, and from her I learned that despite our differences in size, shape and color, we humans are 99.9 percent the same. It is in our

to see differences: skin, hair and eye color, height, language. But also in our nature, way down in the DNA that
37
us human, we are almost the

I believe there is more that unites us than
39
us.

to admit now, but I never
44
that my parents were different colors. One day, I watched my parents walk
45
the street of our church together. They were
46
in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands
47
together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents
48
I realized their skin color. I'm sorry to say that now when I see a mixed-race
49
walking down the street, I see the "mixed race" first and the "couple" second.
When my parents married in 1966, there were
50
places in this country that had laws
51
mixed marriage.

, my white grandfather,
53
father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage.
Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others
54
. Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all
55

Made in the USA: An Export Boom
In his State of the Union address two years ago, President Obama argued that in order to recover from the economic recession, one of the few things the U．S. needed to do was to export more goods around the world. That night, the president unveiled a new goal: to double U．S. exports over the next five years. It would be an increase that the president said would “support two million jobs in America.”
Most economists dismissed the promise at the time as something unrealistic, but two years later, the U．S. is on pace to meet that goal. American exports are up 34 percent since the president gave that speech, and the number continues to rise.
Competitive In A Global Market
Marlin Steel, a metal working business in Baltimore, makes parts that ship all across the world.“ We export to 36 countries，” owner Drew Greenblatt tells All Things Considered Host Guy Raz. “We're working around the clock, and we're growing.”
It's not just advanced manufacturing exports on the rise, but pork, cattle and all kinds of agricultural exports are up as well. Even American craft beer has found an export market.
Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso says that increasingly, people all over the world are trying the beer from the Maryland-based brewery. Caruso says，“Even in those top beer-producing countries, a competitive American product is finding a market.”
Services Are Exports, Too
Another place exports are coming from is New York City—in particular, the 30th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper on 5th Avenue and 52nd Street. That's where the consulting firm Kurt Solomon lies. It doesn't actually produce a product for export; it provides management advice and strategy.
“Four out of every five Americans is now employed in the service industry，” the nation's top trade official, Ron Kirk says, “Services are a significant part of our exports, and make up about a quarter of our exported goods.” These services can include everything from legal consulting, finance, information technology and even engineering.
And There Are Other Factors
So why has there been an increase of more than 30 percent for exports in almost everything? Part of the increase, at least for the manufacturing side, is due to better technology, says Tyler Cowen, an economist. “A lot of it is being driven by smart machines，” he tells Raz，“The U．S. has high wage rates, which is a disadvantage, but if machines are doing a lot of the work, that doesn't matter.”
China factors a lot in America's export economy, too. “Wages in China have been going up as the country becomes more productive. Thus China is losing the cheap labor advantage it has held for some time.” Cowen says.
Will Jobs Grow, too?
“Companies have become more productive by dismissing workers and lowering costs.” Cowen says, “So I don't view exporting as a way of creating a very large number of jobs, but it will create more profits.”
So not every business or worker is necessarily benefiting from the export boom in the U．S., and Cowen says that could ultimately lead to a polarization(两极) of economic outcomes.

书面表达
One possible version:
A domestic service company in Beijing provided “Gaokao nannies” for students who will take part in the college entrance examination. The nannies can not only tutor the students in their weak subjects but also wash clothes and cook meals for the students. As for the matter, opinions are divided.
60% of the people are in favor of it. They think the college entrance examination is very important to the students, so it’s necessary to employ people with specialized knowledge to take care of them. Meanwhile, many parents are too busy to spare the time to look after their children. However, the rest of the people are opposed to it. In their view, employing “Gaokao nannies” is likely to make the students nervous, which may have bad effects on them. Besides, the students should go through this key period of time accompanied by their parents.
From my point of view, I totally disagree with the former. If I were one of those who have “Gaokao nannies”, I would not be used to being taken care of by an unfamiliar person who cannot possibly understand me as well as my parents. Furthermore, hiring a “Gaokao nanny” costs a lot, which may burden the parents.
