　　When Columbus reached the New World, corn was the most widely grown plant in the Americas. This plant´s range extended from what is now southern Canada to lower South America. At that time some tribes cultivated it at sea level, others at elevation of more than 11,000 feet.

　　“Columbus had no way of knowing that corn was far more valuable than the spices (香料) and gold he had hoped to find.” said Frances

　　B. King, a professor at a university of Pittsburgh. Through human intervention, this plant has developed into several hundred races, or varieties. Their heights vary from 2 to 12 feet, and their maturity ranges from little more than 2 months to almost a year. Their ears vary not only in color, but also in size.

　　Unlike other cereals (谷类)， corn bears little resemblance to its wild ancestors. In fact, it differs from the appearance of its immediate ancestors more than any other cultivated plant known. From humble origins as a lowland grass, corn developed into the western world´s important grain. As its high yields allowed communities to grow far beyond what early agriculture could feed, most scientists viewed corn as having largely fueled pre-Columbian growth and civilization.

　　Now, new findings are greatly altering researchers´ notions about the time when corn revolution occurred. New dates for its emergence from Mesoamenrica do not support the widely held view. The evidence now suggests that the signs of corn in Americas can date back 5,500 years at least.

　　A. the purpose of Columbus´ exploration was to discover corn

　　B. corn was one of Columbus´ discoveries, but more precious than anything else

　　Women on a touring holiday of Britain were injured by an explosion in their motor van in the center of Norwich yesterday.

I thought it could have been a bomb.” Said Mr. Leslie Webster, manager of the market, who was working in his office in Red Lion Street. “I looked out of the window and saw this lad leap from the van and roll on the ground. Then another lad came out of the van. He seemed to be in a worse state --- parts of his trousers were hanging below his knee.”
