(a)New Zealand was the last land to be settled by humans.(b)Its a paradise for exotic birds.BOn one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple
36、 of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table. “Hey, arent you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “Im from Mississippi too.”Without a second
37、 thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair. “They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didnt know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the g
38、roup got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Weltys new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚) .“My friends said: Now
39、 we believe your stories, ” Welty added. “And I said: Now you know. These are the people that make me write them. ”Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I dont make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these l
40、ast 50 or so years. “I dont have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Weltys people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78
41、, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story. 58.

What can we learn about the characters in Weltys fiction?A. They are pleasure seekers. B. They are mostly women.C. They live in big cities. D. They come
43、from real life.CConventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on childrens bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.Scientists meas
44、ured this by studying the ends of childrens chromosomes(染色体), called telomeres, says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.Telomeres are special DNA sequences(序列) which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a
45、cell cannot divide any more and dies.Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could
46、 make childrens telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the chi
47、ldrens telomeresin cells obtained by swabbing the insides of their cheeksat ages 5 and 10.Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three thin
