Then his amazing school life at Harvard started the same year. He Jiang began his speech with a childhood memory from his small village in central Chinas Hunan province. He was bitten on the hand by a spider and his mother treated it in an old folk waysetting his hand on firerather than going to the doctor, because there were no doctors.He Jiang was one of the speakers to speak at the commencement.

For such remains to be considered fossils, scientists have decided they have to be over 10,000 years old.The word fossil comes from the Latin word “fossilis”, which means, “dug up”.Fossils can be divided into “body fossils” and “trace(痕跡) fossils”. Body fossils are the remains of a plant or animals body. Trace fossils are the remains of the activity of an animal, such as footprints, egg shells, and nests.How are fossils formed?Some animals were quickly covered after their death by sediment(沉淀物) like earth, mud or sand. Over time, the parts of the animals that didnt rot (usually the harder parts like bones and teeth) were covered in the newly formed sediment. Then, a lot of chemical changes happened to the animals bodies. Water with minerals(礦物質) went into the bone and took the place of the chemicals in the bone with rock-like minerals. In the end we get a heavy, rock-like copy of the original object - a fossil. There werent any changes in size and shape when an object changed into a fossil, but the fossil of a bone doesnt have any bone in it!It is chemically more like a rock! According to scientists, fossils have been found on every continent(大陸) on Earth.57. According to the passage, there are _ kinds of fossils.A. two B. three C. four58.
