The fssil（化石）discvery in Victria nw shws that mnk seals were widespread in Australasia in the past.
“Mnk seals are ne f the rarest and mst endangered marine mammals（海洋哺乳动物）alive tday, but this wasn’t always the case,” accrding t lead study authr Dr. James Rule frm Mnash University. “Our paper shws that the very endangered mnk seals nce called Australia hme abut five millin years ag（specifically in Victria）,” he said.
The discvery was made by studying tw fssils again frm Melburne Museum’s cllectins, the identity f which had been a mystery fr 40 years. “When we studied them, they turned ut t be the ldest evidence f mnk seals,” Dr. Rule said. “These fssils, alng with the extinct New Zealand species that was discvered last year, duble the knwn diversity f the mnk seals,” he said.
Accrding t Dr. Rule, mnk seals disappeared in Australasia three millin years ag, and they nly lived in the trpics（热带地区）and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages. This left mnk seals n the edge f disappearance after being verhunted by humans, with abut 2,000 members left.
The discvery f New Zealand species and Australian mnk seals led the researchers t restudy the rigin f the grup. “Our research shws that mnk seals began in Australia,” Dr. Rule said. “This is different frm every thery previusly put frward by scientists.”
Previus research has therized climate change led t the disappearance f many ancient seals in the Suthern Hemisphere. This wuld have included New Zealand’s and Australian mnk seals. “This suggests the wrld’s last tw species f mnk seal are als at risk frm climate change,” Dr. Rule said. If sea level cntinues t rise, the beaches mnk seals rely n fr resting and raising yung nes may disappear.
28. What des the new discvery shw abut mnk seals?

B. Researchers manged t identify them after many years.
C They were nce thught t be fssils f birds.
D. They were first discvered last year.
30. What des the underlined wrd “this” in paragraph 4 prbably refer t?
A. Fighting water pllutin.B. Suffering frm a lack f fd.
C. Having limited living places.D. Facing increasing natural enemies.
31. What des the authr want t tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Climate change always threatens mnk seals’ survival.
B. Scientists can nw measure the rate f glbal warming.
C. Human activity in Australia shuld be strictly limited.

Mrever, the taxi drivers’ hippcampi cntinue t enlarge as they g n ding the jb fr mre years, suggesting that perhaps there’s smething we can d t reprduce the effect in the general ppulatin.

Spiers’ team hpes t deal with Alzheimer’s by studying the taxi drivers’ brains. T cllect mre infrmatin n the mechanisms（机制）that cause the “brain gain”. Spiers has asked thirty f Lndn’s taxi drivers cnnected t an MRI machine t drive arund n their rutes. The machine will allw the researchers t gather real time bservatins f the wrkings f the hippcampus. “It’s been a jy t help scientists fight with the disease,” said taxi driver Rbert Lrdan.
32. What can we say abut “The Knwledge”?
A. It lasts fr a few minutes nly.B. It is usually held in Lndn’s busy streets.
C. It is a great challenge t peple’s memry.D. It invites sme residents in Lndn t be judges.
