  You are what you eat. This saying has provided scientists with clues(线索) about the diet of hominidsour early relatives of 3 million years ago.

  Studying carbon atoms(碳原子) locked up in tooth enamel (珐琅质), two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, report their findings in Friday’s Science.

  There aren’t many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids’ teeth offered the first clues. Large and flatedged with thick enamel, they looked perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools, which would help in eating meat, didn’t appear until about half a million years later.

  Scientists have also found marks on hominids’ teeth with patterns very similar to those on the teeth of modernday fruit eaters. Sponheimer and Lee-Thorp tried a new method, looking at the chemical composition of the tooth enamel. They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Animals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.

  What they found was that the teeth of the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects(昆虫).

  But there are people who understand differently. Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominid diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels.

  One suggestion might be true though-take good care of your teeth. In 3 millon years, a scientist might be using them to figure out what you ate for dinner.

1.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

[  ]

A.Protect Your Teeth

B.What the Hominid Ate

C.Where the Hominid Lived

D.The Formation of Tooth Enamel

2.Before the two scientists’ findings, most people thought that hominids ________.

[  ]

A.lived half a million years ago

B.used tools to dig grass

C.ate mainly fruits and leaves

D.had sharp teeth

3.The two scientists’ findings were mainly based on the study about ________.

[  ]

A.the shape of horninids’ teeth

B.the teeth marks of early fruit eaters

C.the grasses of 3 million years ago

D.the make - up of the tooth enamel

4.What is it that Prof. Ungar finds doubtful?

[  ]

A.Hominids possibly ate grass - eating animals.

B.Hominids probably had different diets.

C.Hominids were basically fruit-and grass-eaters.

D.Hominids had lower level of carbon-13 in their teeth.

  Parents who buy computers for their children may be damaging their exam results, according to new research.

  Access to PCs and high speed broadband can lead to a decline in test scores among young people, it was claimed.

  The study suggested that computers could provide a distraction for schoolchildren as they spend hours socializing with friends and playing games.

  Technology can also lead to a widening gap in education standards between rich and poor pupils as parents from working class households are less likely to monitor computer use.

  Prof Jacob Vigdor.who co-wrote the report ,said:“Adults may think of computer technology as a productivity tool ,but the average kid doesn’t share that perception.”

  Researchers compared the same children’s reading and math scores before and after they access to a home computer.pupils with and without the technology were also compared.Academics found that computers had negative impact on math and reading test scores.

  The researchers concluded that home computers were put to more productive use in households where parental monitoring was more effective.In disadvantaged households ,parents were less likely to check children’s computer use and guide sons and daughter towards educational programs.
