41、ries in Indonesia are causing a stir in the science world. Researchers have excavated tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species. If thats true, it will change how we think about our ancestors.Clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first issued last year

42、in the scientific journal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of Flores in Indonesia. When they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton（骨架）belonged to a full-grown adult. Researchers named her Hobbit after the tiny h

43、eroes of the Lord of the Rings books.Now the team is saying it has excavated even more pieces of the puzzle, including a jawbone and parts of arms, legs and hands from several individuals, as well as stone tools. They reported their find in Nature this month. “The new evidence makes it very clear th

44、at these people are a new species, distinct from modern humans.” Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancient humans Homo floresiensis.Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a different species from modern humans, t

45、hat would make our family tree bigger than we knew, It means, says Brown, that “until recently a relative shared the planet with us.”Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.Dan

50、udents often tell me that they do not have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time ”is not an acceptable explan

51、ation of not getting sth done.Once in graduate school, I tried to justify（证明）myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “Thats irrelevant（无关紧要的）.Whats important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge

52、（诀窍）,and I have come to some conclusions-all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time

53、, which can vary in intensity（强度）.But, as my professor suggested, its not the diligence of the work but the quality of the product thats important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office: “Dont wor

54、k harder, Work smarter.” Theres a lot of sense in that idea.If you cant get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means devising（想出）ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our w

55、ork habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading an writing .If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the boar
