The sailors also left all (they) clothing behind. The lifeboat (救生艇) was still on the ship. The captain's diary was found on the ship and the last passage (write) on November 24th.

The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders of the world. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall have . It is, however, still a very popular place of interest.
It is the wall ever built. It’s from Shanhaiguan on the east coast to Gansu Province in the of China. It is about 8 meters high. The top is 8 meters and it gets even wider towards the bottom where it is 15 meters. It is made stone and brick. The top is hard enough for men on horseback to ride on. The wall was built by hand and it took of years to finish.
No one knows when the building of the Great Wall was started. It is believed that the wall was built to parts of the country during the Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Qin Shihuang joined the separate walls built by the Qin, Yan and Zhao Kingdoms. The wall was not only for protection in the north, it was also a of China’s ancient civilization (文明).
Today, many of the visitors go to see the wall. they stand on top of a tower and look down on this wall, they can’t help (禁不住) saying “Wow, that’s fantastic!”

Nowadays, many people in China and Japan are racing against time. They put a lot of value in “being on time”. However, in some countries of the world, people have different opinions on “being on time”.

Germany

Thanks to its industrial past, in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting. In Germany, being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting, wondering how on earth you could be so stupid. What will you do if anything unexpected happens, like heavy traffic or a sudden rain? So remember to arrive early in Germany.

Saudi Arabia

Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them. It’s because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about. It could be that it’s too hot to do anything on time. So don’t expect them to be on time. Moreover, looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners. So don’t get angry with them, either.

Ghana

Most meeting times can be changed, even if an exact time is given. Ghanaians are very easygoing. They think that if everyone is late, then no one is late. After all, what can’t be done today can get done tomorrow. If you find it difficult to deal with, prepare to be unhappy.

Russia

Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not. When doing business in Russia, do be on time. Otherwise, it will be considered disrespectful. But Russians won’t hold themselves to the same standard. So, again, patience can be key.

Professor Vanessa Hayes from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney said she and her team have traced (追蹤) 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 (蒼翠繁茂的), and it would have actually provided a suitable habitat for modern humans,” she said. She and her team studied mitochondrial (線粒體的) 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 (進(jìn)化). If that is the case, there is no ‘homeland’,” said Ryan Raaum, who researches African population genetics (遺傳學(xué)) at Lehman College, US.

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

A.importantB.wrongC.fascinatingD.unnecessary

【4】What is the story mainly about?

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