Once, the Paiter-Surui tribe(部落)lived a happy life in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. But after the tribe’s first me eting with Westerners several decades ago, they were nearly wiped out; diseases brought by outsiders reduced the Surui’s numbers from 5, 000 to about 250. Today, some 1, 300 tribe people live in 23 villages across 600, 000 acres. Though they are as likely to wear T-shirts and jeans as feathered headdresses, the Surui are determined to preserve and protect the tribal culture of their homeland. Now they are under threat again, from illegal logging and deforestation(滥伐), but this time it’s different. The Surui have put aside their bows and arrows and taken up a new weapon: the Internet.
The tribe people learned to use the Web from their leader, Chief Almir Narayamoga. “We decided to use computers and technology to br ing attention to our situation, ”says Narayamoga, 36. The first in his tribe to attend college, Chief Narayamoga learned how to use computers at the Federal University of Goiás in Goiania, a city of 1. 2 million. In 2007, he fled the Surui homeland after his fight against loggers who placed a $100, 000 reward on his head. He traveled to the United States and paid a visit to Google headquarters in California. He came armed with a big idea. Narayamoga’s visit to Google was considered a great success. And Goo gle sent teams to the Amazon to train the Surui in using computers, cameras, and smart phones to photograph logging sites, which could be pinpointed using GPS technology and then uploaded to Google Earth. The Surui have now mapped the entire reserve and recorded the biodiversity and the rainforest within it.

Nearly all of today’s Native Americans in North, Central and South America can trace their ancestry to just six women whose descendants（后裔）immigrated around 20,000 years ago, a DNA study suggests．
The finding does not mean that only these six women gave rise to migrants who crossed into North America from Asia in the earliest population of the continent．Rather, it suggests that only six left a particular DNA legacy that persists to today in about 95% of Native Americans, said study co-author Ugo Perego in Utah．
“The women did not necessarily arrive together, nor even all live at the same time,” he said．Results indicate the women arrived sometime between 18,000 and 21,000 years ago．The work was published this week by the journal PLoS One．Perego is from the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation in Salt Lake City and the University of Pavia in Italy．The work confirms the previous indications of just six maternal（母系的）lineages, as well as a date of around 20,000 years ago when the first people in North America arrived after crossing a land bridge from Asia, Perego said．
The researchers studied mitochondrial （线粒体）DNA, which is passed only from mother to daughter．They created a “family tree” that traces the different DNA lineages found in today’s Native Americans．By noting mutations（突变）in each branch and applying a formula for how often such mutations arise, they calculated how old each branch was．That indicated when each branch arose in a single woman．
The six “founding mothers” obviously did not live in Asia because the DNA signatures they left behind are not found there, Perego said．So they probably lived in Beringia, the now-submerged land bridge that stretched to North America, he said．
6．What is the passage mainly about?
A．A study indicates that women arrived in America around 20,000 years ago．
B．A study indicates six women gave rise to migrants of America．
C．A DNA study tells about people who crossed into North America from Asia．
D．A study indicates Native Americans can trace their ancestry to just six women．7．Which of the following is TRUE about the research?
A．It shows that DNA is passed from parents to daughters．
B．It concludes that the six women arrived individually but lived at the same time．
C．It is a joint one conducted by Salt Lake City and an Italian university．
D．It shows that only six women in 95% of present Native Americans have got a particular DNA legacy．
8．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “lineages”?
A．Classes．B．Varieties．C．Families．D．Findings．
9．What didn’t Ugo Perego and his team do?
A．They used a “family tree” to analyze the findings．
B．They focused on life styles of the original women．
C．They clarified genetic changes in the family tree．
D．They studied how long each branch had developed．
10．What can we infer from the finding?
A．The six mothers probably lived on the present islands in North America．
B．Most Native Americans have got the DNA legacy passed from the six women．
C．Beringian DNA was found in the women who originally immigrated to North America．D．The research was not accepted by the previous scientists because of its contradiction．【参考答案】6—10、D C C B B

Everyone knows about straight-A students．We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge（报复）of the Nerds．They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book．They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports．
How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?
Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School．She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society．For two years she has maintained A’s in every subject．Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque．He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station．Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A’s in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A’s in tw o college-level courses．
How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren’t the only answer．“Top grades don’t always go to the brightest students, ” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students．“Knowing how to make the most of your innate（天生的）abilities counts for more．Much more．”
In fact, Walberg says, students with high IQ sometimes don’t do as well as classmates with lower IQ．For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down．Hard work isn’t the whole story, either．“It’s not how long you sit there with the books open, ” said one of the many-A students we interviewed．“It’s what you do while you’re sitting．” Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates．
The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn．
11．The underlined word “nerds” can probably be．
A．dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills
B．successful top students popular with their peers
C．students with certain learning difficulties
D．born leaders crazy about social activities
12．What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
A．Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students．
B．People have unfavorable impression on straight-A students．
C．Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films．
D．Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society．
13．Some students become super-achievers mainly because ．
A．they are born cleverer than others
B．they work longer hours at study
C．they make full use of their abilities
D．they know the shortcut to success
14．What will be talked about after the last paragraph?
A．The interviews with more students．
B．The role IQ plays in learning well．
C．The techniques to be better learners．
D．The achievements top students make．
15．What can we infer from the passage?
A．IQ is more important than hard work in study．
B．The brightest students can never get low grades．
C．Top students certainly achieve all-around developments．
D．Students with average IQ can become super-achievers．
