When very small dinosaur bones were found in a Germany mine people thought they were from baby dinosaurs.   48  , scientist Martin Sander's work shows that they were probably fully grown and belong to the smallest giant dinosaur species ever found.

Growth marks on dinosaur bones are similar   49   growth rings on trees. The rings are far apart while the animal is young and growing quickly.  50  get closer as growth slows. "It is exactly these tight ring marks that we found in the fossil (化石) bones," says Sander. So the fossils must have been from adult animals.

51  was this German dinosaur so much smaller than other giant dinosaurs, which grew up to 45 metres long and weighed as much as a thousand humans?

150 million years ago, most of Germany was underwater. Scientists think that  52  water levels rose, there was less and less land and food available. The dinosaur was forced to adapt and evolved into  53  smaller animal needing  54  space and food.

Since 1998, scientists have dug up more than 1,000 dinosaur fossils in the mine. It is one of the few places in the world  55  the bones and footprints of dinosaurs have been found together.

Job hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are 48. Most serious of all, some still have no idea  49 to go working even a long time after graduation.

The reasons 50 this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on   51 the number of graduates is greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable jobs to do 52 go to the country.

I believe the problem can be solved 53 both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit 54 needs. Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to some 55 cities and the countryside. There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the problem can be solved.
