stir in the science world. researchers have excavated tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species. if thats true, it will change how we think about our ancestors.clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first issued last year in the scientific journal nature. scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of flores in indonesia. when they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton(骨架) belonged to a full-grown adult. researchers named her hobbit after the tiny heroes of the lord of the rings books.now the team is saying it has excavated even more pieces of the puzzle, including a jawbone and parts of arms, legs and hands from several individuals, as well as stone tools. they reported their find in nature this month. “the new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct from modern humans.” peter brown, a scientist on the team, said. they named these ancient humans homo floresiensis.brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. if homo floresiensis was a different species from modern humans, that would make our family tree bigger than we knew, it means, says brown, that “until recently a relative shared the planet with us.”many scientists think a new species is unlikely. some argue that the bones must have belonged to modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.daniel e. lieberman, a scientist at harvard university, thinks that the debate over the discovery is healthy. he believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about these unusual skeletons. “disagreement is an important part of the scientific process,” lieberman said, “as far as im concerned, the storys only just begun.”68. researchers name the skeleton hobbit because_.a.it is a figure described in the lord of the ringsb.it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of booksc.it proves to be a full-grown adultd.it belongs to an ancient human species69. small discoveries in indonesia are important because_.a. they are issued in the scientific journal natureb. they are made by peter brown, a famous scientistc. they are about ancestors of modern humansd. they might provide new evidence for human study70. according to daniel e. lieberman_.a. homo floresiensis doesnt exist b. disagreement leads to further researchc. the research hasnt begun yet d. our family tree is bigger than we know71. which of the following might be the best title of the passage?a. comparison between different peoples b. arguments over human originc. discovery of a possible new human species d. history of indonesian peopledtime to stop excuses for latenessthere are always a couple of people in every office who are habitually late for work. how should a manager handle the problem in a multicultural environment? should he be patient because different cultures have their own concepts of time? or should he take disciplinary action?scholars tell us that westerners and asians approach time differently. culturally, westerners live more in the present and the near future. asians live more in the ancient past or in the distant future.asians try to avoid a neurotic(神经过敏的) slavery to time, viewing life as a passing moment in eternity(来世). they enjoy the sense of “zero gravity” that comes from traveling without an immediate goal or an urgent objective. to many asians, life is a long journey and happiness is simply not a matter of time. instead of rushing, they prefer to maintain a steady pace. quietly watching the seasons change or children grow is certainly not considered a waste of time. westerners believe that happiness is just over the next hill. a little more time, money or struggle will get them there. americans, in particular, live by time-pressing schedules and deadlines. but how does this insight relate to the need for punctuality(守时) in the office? should we infer from this difference in cultural outlook that its justified for some employe
