3、现过，因而被认为是 Palea 居所独有的。然而最近，考古学家在一个与 Palea 隔着一条叫做 Brim 河的村庄 Lithos 发现了一个这样的 Palea 篮子。Brim 河很深很宽，所以古代 Palea 人只能坐船穿过它，但没有证据表明 Palea 人拥有船只。这表明那种所谓的 Palea 篮子并不是那里所独有的。2.The following appeared as part of a letter to theeditor of a scientific journal.A recent study of eighteen rhesus monkeys providesclues

9、投票禁止了在中央广场玩滑板。他们认为是滑板爱好者的废弃物和损毁公物的行为使游客远离了广场。然而在过去两年中，中央广场的游客却只有少数增加，而且废弃物和损毁公物的行为依然存在。滑板运动在M 公园就被允许，但是那里却没有任何的废弃物和损毁公物的行为。为了能让中央广场重新焕发生机，我们建议市里应该取消广场禁止滑板的限令。4.The following appeared in a letter from ahomeowner to a friend.Of the two leading real estate firms in ourtownAdams Realty and Fitch RealtyA
