Tiny tubes and filaments( 丝状物 )in some Canadian rock appear to be the oldest known fossils, giving new support for some ideas about how life began, a new study says.
The features(特征)are mineralized remains of what appear to be bacteria that lived some 3. 77 billion to 4. 28 billion years ago. the scientist said. That would be older than some other rock features found in Greenland, which were considered to be the fossils last August.
The new results come from examining rock found along the eastern shore of Hudson Bay in Northern Quebec. The filaments and tubes, made up be， made up of iron oxide called hematite（赤铁矿）， appeared within a rock type called jasper（碧玉）.
Matthew Dodd of University College London, an author of the study published Wednesday by nature, said the living things lived in the seafloor where water was heated by a volcano. Since the fossils are nearly as old as Earth, which formed some 4. 5 billion years ago, the finding supports previous indications that life may have begun in such an environment, he said.
He and his colleagues presented several lines of evidence to support the idea that tiny tubes and filaments are signatures of past life. But two experts who've previously reported similar findings said they are not convinced.
“I would say they are not fossils, \an Kranendonk of the University of New South Wales in Australia, who reported the Greenland findings last year, wrote in an email. The paper's evidence for a biological orign falls short, he said. Abigail Allwood, a NASA geologist, said the authors have produced one of the most detailed cases yet made \evidence of life in rocks older than 3. 5 billion years. But \an extraordingary claim to make and you do need extraordinary evidence, \

Have you ever imagined the benefits that a good memory can bring to you? 36 .Here are four ways to improve your memory.
37 There is evidence that sleep plays a vital role in the consolidation( 巩固) of memories relating to learning motor skills, such as learning to play a musical instrument or ride a bike. Having a full night's sleep soon after gaining a new skill helps consolidate the processes involved, so they can later be performed well.
It 's rewarding to continue education. Older people are often told to adopt a \cognitive (认知的 )function. 38 In a 2016 study, US researchers found participants aged 60-90 who spent 15 hours a week for three months learning a complex skill, such as digital photography, saw significant improvements in memory tests. Taking a break counts. 39 More than a century ago, German scientists showed that people performed almost twice as well in memory tests if they took breaks.
It's useful to stay social. Having an active social life delays memory loss as we age. US scientists who asked people in their 50s and 60s to do memory tests every other year between 2001 and 2007 found the decline in recall abilities of their most sociable subjects to be half that of the least well connected. 40 A .Sleeping well helps strengthen memories B. Old people should participate in easy activities
C. Yoga, meditation or other relaxation techniques may help.
D. Memories can be destroyed if the brain doesn’t have enough rests to sharpen them.
E. In fact, when it comes to memory, research suggests that only certain types of mental activities help. F. Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in your life G. Having good friends, volunteering for charities and other forms of social engagement also protect memory. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分
