分析 在1492年10月12日的早晨，哥伦布和他的船员到达了加勒比海岸，他们误认为自己到了东南亚．

解答 答案；B．因为arrive发生在mistakenly believing 之前，表示"过去的过去"，所以用过去完成时态．所以答案是B．其他选项的时态分别是A一般过去时态；C选择完成时态；D过去将来时态．

点评 考查过去完成时态．
过去完成时（The Past Perfect Tense）：表示过去某一时间或动作以前已经发生或完成了的动作对过去的某一点造成的某种影响或是结果，用来指在另一个过去行动之前就已经完成了的事件．它表示动作发生的时间是"过去的过去"，侧重事情的结果．

17．Ever wonder why sometimes a hug is all you need？You can't explain it，but there's just something comforting about being in your wife's arms after a rough day or giving mom a hug after a long time apart．
A new study says the warm feeling in a hug is more than just skin deep．Researchers from the University of California，Berkeley believe that this loving feeling could have anti-aging benefits．
Oxytocin，sometimes referred to as the"love hormone（荷尔蒙）"or the"trust hormone"，is responsible for those indescribable feelings we get when we're bonding with a lover or a loved one．
Levels of the hormone drop as we age，and evidence suggests that could be a contributing factor to the  deterioration of our bodies as we age．Muscle loss in particular is one of the major side effects of aging，with our bodies losing up to 5percent of our muscle mass each decade past our 30s．
In the study，published in the journal Nature Communications，researchers injected oxytocin into older mice with muscle damage．The older mice had lower levels of the hormone than younger mice initially．But after nine days，the older mice that were given the hormone healed better than those who did not．In fact，their ability to repair muscle damage was up to 80percent that of the younger mice．
The results were not only fast-acting，but provide hope for future uses of the hormone in a variety of anti-aging capacities．"This is good because it demonstrates that extra oxytocin improves aged tissue stem cells（组织干细胞）without making muscle stem cells divide uncontrollably，"study co-author Wendy Cousins said in a statement．
Previous uses of anti-aging molecules have also been associated with higher cancer risk，but researchers are hopeful that oxytocin can be useful in humans without this risk．In the future，researchers of Berkeley say oxytocin could be used to fight other age-related health issues by improving bone health and even being used as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy．
Now go out and give someone a hug．

18．Cancun is a seaside town in Mexico，where most tourists come here to enjoy the beach，water sports and night life．In fact，it is so modern and Americanized that you might think you were in southern California or Florida．
But just a short two-hour hike from the town lie the ruins of the city of Chichen-Itza，one of the capitals of the lost Maya（玛雅）civilization．The center of the ruins of this city is the pyramid of El Castillo．The ancient Mayan religious people climbed this pyramid during festival to honor the Sun god．Tourists today climb it to view the architectural achievements of Chichen-Itza and to prove their fearlessness of heights and steep （陡峭的）climbs．There is a sign in Spanish，admonishing visitors"It's dangerous to go up．"I gladly ignored it and started my climb．
The climbing was tough．The steps were higher than one might normally take．，but the climb was not fearful at all．From the top of the pyramid，I had a wonderful view of the ruins of this Mayan city．What was most striking to me was that just beyond the ruins of splendid structures，gardens，temples and what looks like a modern sports stadium，you could only see forests for miles and miles．It was almost as if some race had mysteriously come out of nowhere，built it up and then suddenly disappeared from the planet，leaving only stones in its space．
The only remains on the top of the pyramid were the Temple of Kukulcan．During the festivals to worship the Sun god，only the high ranks would have the right to enter this temple．
After shooting a few pictures，I realized it was time to go down．Only then did I discover that what people fear about the climb is not the trip going up，but the way going down．I saw a few brave souls who were walking down as if they were in their own house．Looking down at the steepness of the pyramid，I desperately feared this great height．My first desire was to joke with a few people，"Where is the elevator（电梯）？"I figured that a civilization that was this advanced would have had the foresight（预见） to construct an elevator．Lacking such modern equipment，I had to use the chain provided by the Mexican tourist authorities and climb down on all fours．
My climb was complete eventually．I quickly got on the bus back to my comfortable hotel．Leaving the ruined city，I was still wondering what possibly happened long ago．But a few hours later，I was back in the modern world drinking cocktails on the beach，bathing in the sunshine before boarding the plane and waiting for my trip back home to the US，where all the modern things such as elevators are available!
