【题目】 This past holiday season, I drove with my parents to Boston to visit my cousin. On my way back home, we stopped at a service area for food.

As we stopped there, there was this old lady who was busy cleaning all the tables and chairs as people were leaving, making sure everything was tidy and clean. I just thought of gifting her with five dollars and a chocolate in my pocket. I wrote on a paper napkin(纸巾): Thank you and Merry Christmas.”

“I made a lot of cookies and candies on Christmas for people, "she explained. “Would you like to have some?”

A bit taken aback, I replied, “Yes”.

She asked me to wait, and came back carrying a four- inch plate filled with different cookies and chocolates! My first expression was a big smile.

“That's a lot,” I said, a bit surprised.

She smiled and told me that she made eighty to ninety of these plates every year, to gift to friends and others.

I had no words or thoughts in my brain. Finally, I asked if I could hug her. We hugged, wishing each other a happy and healthy holiday season. Then, as we parted, I felt as if I had met a new friend with whom I exchanged the gift of a smile and some happiness. I really enjoyed this trip.

【题目】 Where did humans come from? An Australian researcher believes that she’s found the answer: river valley in the African country of Botswana (博瓦纳).

Professor Vanessa Hayes from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney said she and her team have traced (追踪) modern humans back to small group of people who lived in this valley, according to the BBC.

“It’s an extremely large area, it would have been very lush (苍翠繁茂的), and it would have actually provided a suitable habitat for modern humans,” she said. She and her team studied mitochondrial (线粒体的) DNA (mtDNA) from people who live in south Africa, such as the Khoisan people. This type of DNA is only passed down from mother to child. This makes it easier to trace one’s ancestry (祖先), according to Business Insider. By tracing mtDNA back through different generations, the team concluded that every person alive today is related to a woman who lived in Botswana.

However, some experts doubt Hayes’ findings, saying that studies like hers are no longer important or necessary. “The idea that we’re looking for a single origin [of modern humans] is out of fashion,” said John Hawks, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, in Popular Science.

There are many other locations around the world where humans could have gotten their start. It is likely that mankind appeared in many places at the same time. “I increasingly think that there probably wasn’t a single population in which modern humans evolved (进化). If that is the case, there is no ‘homeland’,” said Ryan Raaum, who researches African population genetics (遗传学) at Lehman College, US.

1According to Hayes, where did humans come from?

A.Australia.B.Botswana.C.South Africa.D.Latin America.

2Hayes and her team studied mtDNA because ________.

A.it is the most common type of DNA humans shareB.there is a new technology to test mtDNA

C.it is only passed down from mother to childD.both women and men can take mtDNA tests

3According to Hawks, Hayes’s study is ________.

A.importantB.wrongC.fascinatingD.unnecessary

4What is the story mainly about?

A.New findings about the origin of humans.B.New findings about mtDNA.

C.The evolution of humans.D.The habitats of ancient humans..
