6、。这不是一件容易的事情，但是科学家们依然在努力。据说在墨西哥东部有个巨大的坑，人们认为这个坑是由 6500 万年前从外太空中陨落的巨大物体造成的。在那时候，生活在陆地上的恐龙就绝迹了。因此，人们认为那个巨大的物体可能是导致恐龙死亡的原因。尽管已证实这个巨大的物体和恐龙及其他动物的灭绝有密不可分的关系，但科学家们对这一物体如何导致这些远古动物的灭绝仍持有不同的意见。Twenty years ago, scientists discovered that a large cloud of dust was created by the crash of the large object.

42、ement D. an introduction to Scotland(B)In the United States, when you become rich you want people to know about it. And even if you do not become very rich you want people to think that you are. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich
43、 as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23.

Momands series appeared in
