I thought it was odd.I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.After a whileyou don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.I could say“I just found out I have six months to live” and someone would reply“Have a great day

But that wasn’t the end.

He gave them the changewalked around the counterand extended his right hand in an act of friendship.He looked the customers in the eyes.“I sure want to thank you for shopping here today” he told them.“You have a great day.Bye­bye.”

The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.There were smiles and some sheepish grins.All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected.They would gather their things and walk outsmiling.

How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to knowFar enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible diseaseThese days that’s more than an academic questionas Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.

There are now more than a thousand genetic(基因的) testsfor everything from baldness to breast cancerand the list is growing.Question isdo you really want to know what might eventually kill youFor instanceNobel Prize­winning scientist James Watsonone of the first people to map their entire genetic makeupis said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)

“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible diseasethat could weigh on your mind and make you anxiousthrough which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you.It could really mess you up.” said Dr.Robert Greena Harvard geneticist.

“Every ache and pain” Smith suggestedcould be understood as “the beginning of the end.”“That’s right.If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s diseasethen every time you can’t find your car in the parking lotyou think the disease has started.”

Dr.Green has been thinking about this issue for years.He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.It was thought that people who got bad news wouldfor lack of a better medical termfreak_out.But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives.In factmost people think they can handle it.People who ask for the information usually can handle the informationgood or badsaid Green.

Scientists discovered 163 new species in Southeast Asia’s Greater Mekong region last yearbut all are at risk of extinction due to climate changethe WWF said in a report released Friday.

The newly discovered creatures include a bird­eating frog with fangs (毒牙)a bird that would rather walk than fly and a gecko (壁虎) whose alien appearance inspired the report’s title of “Close Encounters”the conservation group said.

The report was released ahead of major UN talks on climate change in Bangkok next weekwhich are being held before a make­or­break summit in Copenhagen this December.

“Some species will be able to adapt to climate changeand many will notpotentially resulting in massive extinction” Stuart Chapmandirector of the WWF Greater Mekong programsaid in the report.“Rare and endangered species like those newly discovered are especially vulnerable (易受伤害的) because climate change will further shrink their already restricted habitats” he said.

“The new discoveries in 2010 include 100 plants,28 fish,18 reptiles,14 amphibians,2 mammals and a bird”the WWF report said.The area spans CambodiaLaosMyanmarThailandVietnam and China’s Yunnan Province.

“Among the new species is the bird­eating fanged frogwhich remains hidden in a protected area of Thailand despite the fact that scientists are studying there for 40 years” the report said.
