　　Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home.  Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather.If I grumbled,_he'd say in his loudest father－voice, “That's what your legs are for！”
　　The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.
　　It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
　　A row of hedges(树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew, each time I'd come home, he had stood behind the hedges, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.
　　On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So, my son, it's you！” he'd say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
　　I replied, “Yes, Dad, it's me. I'm home.”

　　Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human－like milk.
　　Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers' milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
　　As an adult, the cloned cow “will produce milk that is  similar to that of humans”， which will prove “a development of  great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)”，  said the  institute. “The cloned cow,  named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk，” said the statement.
　　In April, scientists in China published details of research  showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk.  But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.
　　“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows' milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants，” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.
　　Cristina  Kirchner,  President  of Argentina,  said  the scientific institute made all Argentines proud.  She also said that she had rejected the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”
　　25．What is the passage mainly about?
　　A．The importance of genetic engineering.
　　B．Ways to improve mothers' milk.
　　C．A cloned cow to produce human－like milk.
　　D．Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.
　　26．Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?
　　A．have more varieties than
　　B．be more similar to
