These ancient life forms
25、can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for th
26、e Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their neares
27、t relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europes Middle Ages. Ther
28、e are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs (病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that
29、 was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last weeks announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why a
30、re we surprised?” Noonan asked. “As a biologist, I would say life on earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful.”Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States.

34、 the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell(地狱)is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.”Obviously the national stereotypes(模式化的思想) in this o
35、ld joke are generalizations (普遍化) , but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason” . Is there actually a sliver(裂片,碎片)of truth in them? Not likely, an international research team now says.“National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and other
36、s ,and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing ” said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Aging. “These are in fact unfounded stereotypes. They dont come from looking around you ” McCrae said.If national stereotypes arent rooted in real experiences, then where
37、 do they come from? One possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. For example, many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism(个人主义)has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers in the Old West. Social scientists such
38、as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed. We may be “hard-wired” , to some degree
39、 , to keep incorrect stereotypes , since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes. Generally, according to Robins , when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultur
