Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert
36、(性格内向的人 ) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually abou

41、ite in San Timoteo Canyon (峡谷 ) when they unearthed hundreds of ancient animal fossils. Researchers say the bones hold important clues about the history of the region. Nearly 1, 500 fossils were recovered from the dusty canyon. The remains are about 1.4 million years old. They include the bones of a
42、 new species of deer, several small rodents (啮齿目动物 ) and more. A giant cat fossil was also found. Scientists believe the animal was an ancestor of the saber- toothed tiger. Signs of plant life were uncovered as well. “This is a huge find,” says Rick Greenwood, a scientist studying the site. “I dont

The area of the canyon where the fossils were found was once part of a green river valley. Today, the region is dry and
44、 plant life is rare. Most of the fossils are well preserved. Experts say a muddy lake bed may have trapped thirty animals that wandered over for a drink.
