Dogs were living as companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago.

The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old. Angela Perri of Durham University, UK, and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on the two dog skeletons that gave this date, discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois, and found they were even older: around 10,100 years old.

A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still，at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas.

The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as their skeletons were complete and unskinned, and so hadn’t been butchered for food. They had also been carefolly buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. The Stilwell II dog, which probably resembled a small English settler, was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area.

It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia. By this time, people were already moving into North America from Siberia; there is evidence some reached Chile 18,500 years ago. Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over the following millennia. There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them.

“We don’t know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas” says Luc Janssens of Ghent University in Belgium. “It could be so, but no archaeological bones have yet been found.”

It is “overwhelmingly probable” that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas, but they may not have had “the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them’％ says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.

1.How old is the oldest known domestic dog in the Americas?

A. About 9500 years.　　 B. About 10,100 years.

C. 10,190 years.　　 D. 18,500 years.

2.The underlined word “butchered” in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by .

A. killed　　 B. bought

C. trained　　 D. raised

3.What is the attitude towards when tame dogs arrived in the Americas in the last three paragraphs?

A. Undoubted.　　 B. Unsure.

C. Indifferent.　　 D. Unconfident.

4.What is the main topic of this passage?

A. The earliest domestic dog in the Americas.

B. The first dog arriving in the Americas.

C. How dogs were domesticated in the Americas.

D. When the oldest dog was found in the Americas.

The arm bones of women who lived 7-000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的)bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history — the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.

“Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through,” said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time. ”

Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said — and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian (农耕的)one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone (胫骨) 一 and these changes were much more evident in men.

However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bonos of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. “By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient hones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were performing,” Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn’t changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11〜16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.

1.What does the study tell about prehistoric women?

A. They were stronger than men.

B. They had lighter bones than men.

C. They did tough tasks as the men.

D. They spent most time staying at home.

2.What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?

A. They lacked enough comparison.

B. They only studied men's bones.

C. They focused little on bones.

D. They ignored the lifestyles.

3.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Bones’ structure.

B. Bones' thickness.

C. Bones’ response to stress.

D. Bones’ stress from hard labor.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It’s still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle.

B. Prehistoric women went through much suffering.

C. Women's arms have become much stronger over time.

D. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.
