Jessica Thompson,the paper's lead author,said:"This is the earliest evidence I have seen of humans(43) their ecosystem with fire.It suggests that by the Late Pleistocene(晚更新世)，humans were leaming to use fire in truly new ways.

The End of the Ordeal All of a sudden,I could see a light at the end of the tunnel.It started off quite small,but then it got bigger and bigger.A few seconds later I was shot up violently out of the drain,and onto the beach,right below the luxurious Majestic Hotel.I lay there for a few second,shaken,but unharmed.Then I picked myself up.walked up to the hotel and told them what had happened.Of course,at first it was hard to convince them that this dirty,wet middle-aged man with a horrible smell on him was in fact a dignified university professor.Anyway,they eventually believed me and allowed me to clean myself in one of the rooms.

Potential candidntes must present papers stating their intention to seek their party's recoramendation;delegates then choose from among those running some months later at the national conferences.Before that,however.each state holds a primary election that determines how the state's votes want the party's delegates to vote.Methods of choosing the delegates vary from state to state.At the conferences,there are speeches and often heated discussions.It may take several rounds of voting before delegates can agree on a candidate.On the final day of the meeting,the presidential candidate announces his or her choice for vice president. Election Day,by law,is the Tuesday that follows the first Monday in November.On this day,registered votes may cast their votes for president,vice president,and candidates for other federal,state,and local offices.The popular vote.however,does not determine who will be president.The president is chosen by a vote of the Electoral College,a group of 538 citizens from the 50 states and the District of Columbia who are chosen to cast votes for the president and vice president. The rules for choosing electors,as with the delegates,vary.Each state also decides whether its electoral votes must reflect the popular vote.The number of electors in each state is determined by the number of representatives and senators that a state sends to Congress and,therefore,may change every 10 years,depending on the results of the United States census.The winner must get at least 270 of the electoral votes when the Electoral College meets in December of the electron year.The election results are not official,however,until the following January,when Congress meets in a joint conference to count the electoral votes. At the end of the road to the Oval Office is the swearing-in ceremony,at which the new or reelected president takes the oath of office on January 20. 73.Which of the following is not a requirement for candidates for the presidency of the USA?

B. She says the small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants. C.Sahajwalla refers to this process as "the forth R.adding "re-form to the common phruse "reduce,reuse, recycle." D.Electronics contains various poisonous chemicals and materials that are released into the environment if they are not dealt with properly. E. The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust. F. Traditionally,recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products--like melting down plastic to make more plastic things. Not All Waste Has to Go to Waste Most of the world's 2.22 billion tons of annual trash ends up in landfills or open dumps.Veena Sahajwalla,a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.Australia,has created a solution to our massive trash problem:waste microfactories.There little trash processors--some as small as 500 square feet- house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with the new technology. (77) Sahajwall's launched the world's first waste microfactory targeting electronic waste,or e-waste,in 2018 in Sydney.A second one began recycling plastics in 2019.Now,her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented microfactory technology.(78) _The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location.avoiding the long,often interational,high-emission treks between recycling processors and manufacturing plants.With a microfactory,gone are the days of needing separate facilities to collect and store materials,extract elements and produce new products. (79) Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different."The kids don't look like the parents,"she says. For example,the microfactory can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and extract silica(from the glass)and carbon(from the plastic casing),and then combine them together.This generates a common material with many industrial uses.(80) In 2019,just 17.4 percent of e-waste was recycled,so they ability to re-form offers a crucial new development in the challenge recycling complex electronic devices."[We]can do so much more with materials,"says Sahajwalla.
