21、A study says the origin of human is in Botswana. Researchers said they used DNA to find out where modern humans came from. They believe all our roots (根) are in an area of northern Botswana. Humans were there 200,000 years ago. They lived there for at least 70,000 years and then migrated (迁徙) around the African continent. They then started moving to Europe and Asia. Researcher Professor Vanessa Hays, from the University of Sydney, said, “We’ve known for a long time that modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago.”

The researchers made sure of an area called Okavango as where we came from. There used to be a big lake but it is now a salt flat (盐碱地). People had water, hunting and farmland. Scientists studied DNA from 200 people who live near the area today. They are from the Khoisan people, who live in modern-day South Africa and Namibia. They had a lot of DNA called L0. Professor Hayes explained why L0 is important. She said, “Whenever a Dew migration (迁徙) happens, our L0 records that migration event as a time-stamp. Everyone walking around today comes from this region.”

In Poland， guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses（女主人）. Remember the number must be an odd（奇数）one. And the hostess doesn’t hope that you remove the cover of the bunch（束）of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.

In China we often hear people say that “nodding” means agreement（同意）。 And “shaking the head” means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.
