　 Two scientists in California now think they can find out a person’s real age. Jeffrey Bada and Patricia Masters do chemical tests on teeth. When we are born the amino acids(氨基酸)in our teeth are in one form. Then, as we grow older, these amino acids change into a second form. Every year, one thousandth(1/1,000)of the amino acids change. So, by testing just one tooth and counting the number of amino acids in each form. Bada and Masters can work out a person’s age. They tested a tooth from the body of an Eskimo woman who died 1,000 years ago. Form the appearance of her body she was between 50 and 60 years old when she died. The tooth test put her age at 53. Then the Russian Government sent them a tooth from an old woman in Georgia. The tooth test said she was 99. Her real age was 96. The Russians are now hoping to send more teeth, from the very old people without birth certificates. But there are problems. Some of the centenarians(百岁老人)have lost all their teeth. The others want to keep their teeth until they drop out naturally. So the Russian Government and the American scientists have to wait and hope.

　 New Zealand is an English-speaking country. But the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found the Maoris, a dark-skinned people, living there. They had come from the islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before the 14^th century.

　 For a long time the British Government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a British colony in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and　 more settlers came from Britain later.

　 The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers.　 But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris’ land. So in 1844 there was a fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two peoples. The next fifty years was very bad for the Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200,000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42,000

For many years, the British new Zealanders looked down upon the Maoris. In this country the two peoples have lived in peace. They have equal rights and the Maori language is one of the languages of the country. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maris, that is, about 9% of the population. Most of them live in North Island. They have a rich culture and a great love of singing and dancing.

　 Annealing is way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. If metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle(脆),that is , it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not break as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as is wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other materials, such as glass.
