What do Eleanor Roosevelt, Big Bangs and Chrysan the moms have in common？Find out in this tale of 2 soul sisters on the last search！

       Recent reviews of Chris Anthem by Mona Telor state, “It’s hard to describe a book like this one, it is an inspiring and encouraging story of survival, struggle, change, friendship, love and, basically, life. The relationship between Mona and Chris is one that I think most people can relate to on some level, and I think everyone has someone in their life who inspires them to be who they are. The development of the characters and the journey they take together through some of life’s hardest lessons are so beautifully written that you find yourself wrapped up in their world, and searching for them to overcome hardships and not lose sight of who they are. I highly recommend this book to anyone，especially if you need a little lift, and need to feel a bit better about the world!”

       “I swallow Mona’s tale in a short time and didn’t want the story to end — a continuation someday perhaps?”

       “Chris-Antem is a delightful story which offers much inspiration. Telor writes beautifully—I love the back grounding of each scene. I can just smell the coffee, taste the wine and see the moms every time they are mentioned. It’s a descriptive，word-picture type of writing that reminds me of Agarba Christie without the British accent！The story deals with the very sensitive subject of bad habits in family but does it in a way that shows love, pity and hope. In the world we live in today，this kind of writing is refreshingly welcome and uplifting.”

閱讀理解。

　　These days, it's easy to fly across oceans for vacation．Centuries ago, however, crossing the open seas required thorough and accurate planning, handmade boats, and courage．Scientists and historians have long been looking for clues to explain who crossed which oceans first．When it comes to the trip between Polynesia(玻利尼西亞中太平洋群島)and South America, chickens may have been among the first ocean voyagers, according to new evidence．

　　After studying an ancient chicken bone, anthropologists(人類學(xué)家)from the University of Auckland in New Zealand now say that people and chickens traveled from Polynesia to what is now Chile(智利)by about 620 years ago．By then, the Inca people were already living in South America, but the Polynesians would have been the first to get there by sea．Previous theories claimed that European explorers and their chickens sailed to South America first -- but those voyagers didn't arrive until about a century later．

　　In 2002, archaeologists dug up 50 chicken bones from a site in Chile called El Arenal．The team from New Zealand analyzed one to these bones．According to their calculations, the bone is about 650 years old．

　　The researchers also compared the genetic material, or DNA, from the South American chicken bone with DNA from 11 chicken bones that had been found on the Polynesian islands of Tonga and American Samoa．These islands are 6,000 miles west of Chile．The bones found on the Polynesian islands are been 600 and 2,000 years old．

　　Results of the comparisons showed that the chicken bones from both the Polynesian and South American sites had part of DNA in common．The researchers found the same part of DNA in feathers of two living chickens in Chile that belong to a modem breed that lays blue eggs．That DNA evidence suggests a close relationship among the chickens．

　　"However, the weight of scientific evidence is now behind the hypothesis(假設(shè))that it was seafaring(航海)Polynesians who sailed from the islands to South America and returned," says archaeologist Patrick V．Kirch of the University of California, Berkeley．

(1)

What is the passage mainly about?

[　　]

A．

It was difficult for ancient people to travel between Polynesia and South America．

B．

The first people who lived in Chile and Polynesia．

C．

Valuable chicken bones have been found in Chile．

D．

Chickens－the first to travel between Polynesia and South America．

(2)

When did the first European explorers reach South America?

[　　]

A．

About 520 years ago．

B．

About 2.000 years ago．

C．

About 600 years ago．

D．

About 620 years ago．

(3)

People found that chickens were among the first to travel from Polynesia to South America by _________．

[　　]

A．

comparing the colors of eggs laid by chickens from the two places

B．

comparing the DNA of chicken bones dug up on the Polynesian islands and that of the chicken bones from South America

C．

studying some previous theories

D．

asking the natives of South America

(4)

What do we learn from the passage?

[　　]

A．

European explorers and their chickens were the first to sail to South America．

B．

Chickens in South America have the same ancestors as those in Polynesia．

C．

In ancient times, a 6,000-mile channel separated Polynesia from South America．

D．

Before the Polynesians arrived in South America, the Inca people had lived there．'
