   A study says the origin of human is in Botswana. Researchers said they used DNA to find out where modern humans came from. They believe all our roots (根) are in an area of northern Botswana. Humans were there 200,000 years ago. They lived there for at least 70,000 years and then migrated (迁徙) around the African continent. They then started moving to Europe and Asia. Researcher Professor Vanessa Hays, from the University of Sydney, said, “We’ve known for a long time that modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago.”

The researchers made sure of an area called Okavango as where we came from. There used to be a big lake but it is now a salt flat (盐碱地). People had water, hunting and farmland. Scientists studied DNA from 200 people who live near the area today. They are from the Khoisan people, who live in modern-day South Africa and Namibia. They had a lot of DNA called L0. Professor Hayes explained why L0 is important. She said, “Whenever a Dew migration (迁徙) happens, our L0 records that migration event as a time-stamp. Everyone walking around today comes from this region.”

61．Where did modern humans first come from according to the passage?

A. Botswana.    B. Europe.    C. Asia.     D. India.

62．When did modern humans originate in Africa?

A. About 70,000 years ago. B. About 90,000 years ago. C. About 20,000 years ago. D. About 200,000 years ago.

63．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. L0 is really a kind of DNA．     

B. Modern humans came from an area called Okavango.

C. DNA can help us know about where a person comes from.

D. Scientists studied DNA from 200 people who live near Okavango today.

64．According to Professor Hays, L0 is important because ________.

A. 200 people who live near Okavango had a lot of L0

B. People with L0 had water, hunting and farmland

C. People with L0 are from the Khoisan people

D. L0 records people’s migration as a time-stamp

IX. 任务型阅读。（每小题2分，计10分）

   We all mess up. We’re humans and it’s not always easy to get along with others all the time. Sometimes we hurt people’s feelings, so we apologize.

Apologies are one of the tools we use to build good relationships. When you say “I’m sorry”, it’s because you probably feel bad that something you did or said hurt another person. Saying you are sorry is more than just words. You’re also saying that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings. After apologizing, you might feel a little better. The other person probably will, too. When you apologize in a caring way, you can feel good because you are trying to make things right again.

When we find ourselves in any of the following situations, an apology can probably make a big difference.

●If you hurt or teased (嘲弄) someone, even you didn’t mean it.

●If you lost or broke something that belonged to someone else. 

●If you did something you knew was wrong － like telling a tie or breaking a rule on purpose.

●If you didn’t do something you should do － like keeping a promise.

When someone apologizes to you, you may welcome it and be ready to forgive (原谅) and moved on. Or you might not feel like being friendly right away. You don’t have to be friends just because someone apologizes. It’s polite to accept and acknowledge (承认) the apology, but anything more is up to you!
