5、searchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat.The researchers propose the early Africans moved to the South African coast between 195,000 and 130,000 year

6、s ago. Around that time，the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore，there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast.When these ancient people moved to the coast，they probably experienced a major cultural shift，the researchers suspect. Thats because observations of mod

7、ern huntergatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. On the coast，women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and shellfish.As for the second clue，the researchers unearthed 57 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料)The resear

8、chers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies.

22、tion in 1997.I checked with the experts at the local weather station to make sure they werent expecting clouds or strong winds. At 3:30 am I set the camera on a tripod(三脚架) in my garden, and then I began the countdown to 4:00 am, when the comet was scheduled to appear. I recall thinking, “If everyth

23、ing goes as planned, the photo will show the comet as a line of light moving across a background of stars.” But suddenly everything was terribly wrong! At 3:59 a.m., just as I was making the final adjustments, out the bushes came a streak (条纹) of black heading straight for my feet, and before I knew

24、 it, the camera, the tripod and I were on the ground! The streak of black was my neighbours cat Tiddles out for his late-night exercise, and he had ruined the only chance I had for the next 2,000 years of taking photographs of the spectacular(壮观的)comet!But missed photo opportunities aside, astrophot

25、ography is a great job, and it can also be an enjoyable hobby. Surprising enough, you dont need any special equipment: just a 35 mm camera, a tripod and some slow-speed film.

30、 obvious that there is a lot of dust. When it rains in Barbados or even here in Miami during the summer months, you actually get a layer of mud in the bottom of a bucket(桶).”African dust storms can harm air quality across the ocean.

31、tists observed Saharan dust by satellite as it blew across the Atlantic.Hongbin Yu is an atmospheric scientist at the University of Maryland. He found that an average of 28 million metric tons of dust fall in South Americas Amazon River basin each year.“ Yes, it is surprising because of the huge amo

32、unt of dust and phosphorus(磷).”Phosphorus is a fertilizer that plants need to grow. Hongbin Yu found that the Amazon receives about 22 thousand metric tons of Saharan dust each year. He says the dust is an important provider of fertilizer. “The soil has limited phosphorus and it also can be washed o
