21、 The ostrich(鸵鸟)is the largest bird in the world. From far away, it looks more like a camel than a bird. It has a long neck, long legs and a walk like a camel. Its eyes are very large and sharp. Like the camel, the ostrich can go for a long time without water. It lives in sandy desert, too.
Its wings are too short for flying, but they do help the ostrich to run fast. The wind gets under the wings and lifts the bird off the ground. In this way, it can take very long steps. An ostrich can run faster than a horse.
Ostriches are big and strong, but sometimes they do not seem very smart.
When they are afraid, they run around in circles.
Ostrich eggs are large. The shells are very strong. They are so strong that they can be used for cups and bowls.

22、 Where did humans come from? An Australian researcher believes that she’s found the answer: river valley in the African country of Botswana (博瓦纳).
Professor Vanessa Hayes from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney said she and her team have traced (追踪) 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 (苍翠繁茂的), and it would have actually provided a suitable habitat for modern humans,” she said. She and her team studied mitochondrial (线粒体的) 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 (进化). If that is the case, there is no ‘homeland’,” said Ryan Raaum, who researches African population genetics (遗传学) at Lehman College, US.
【1】According to Hayes, where did humans come from?
A.Australia. B.Botswana. C.South Africa. D.Latin America.
【2】Hayes and her team studied mtDNA because ________.
A.it is the most common type of DNA humans share B.there is a new technology to test mtDNA
C.it is only passed down from mother to child D.both women and men can take mtDNA tests
【3】According to Hawks, Hayes’s study is ________.
A.important B.wrong C.fascinating D.unnecessary
【4】What is the story mainly about?
A.New findings about the origin of humans. B.New findings about mtDNA.
C.The evolution of humans. D.The habitats of ancient humans..
23、A city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490, 000 each. The new buses are different from the old ones. These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid(混合动力的)buses. They run on diesel(柴油的)and electric power. This will help keep the air cleaner.
The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. “I get to have clean air for a change", said driver Melvin Day. "I'm smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones.”
The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel(燃料).They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.
The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries(电池)on top. When the engine starts up, it is powered by electricity. Then the diesel power takes over.
Over time the city would like to use the new hybrid buses instead of all 50 of their buses. They hope to do this over the next three years. The city will give money to help buy the new kind of buses.
