Doggerland
Since the 1930s, ﬁshermen have occasionally found ancient objects madefrom stone or bone in their nets when ﬁshing in the sea between Britain andnorthern Europe. Many of these objects were made around 9,000 years ago.
Historians used to believe this area was underwater at that time, like it is now.
There was also little evidence that ancient Europeans regularly traveled on the sea.

21(), experts had difﬁculty explaining how these man­made objects had

ended up at the bottom of the ocean.
The only possible explanation was that sea levels must have been much
lower in the past. In fact, research shows that Britain did not become an island

22

until about 8,000 years ago. Before that, people () the European

continent. The huge piece of land that once connected Britain and the European
continent has been given the name Doggerland. As the last ice age ended, sealevels rose. Britain was separated from the rest of Europe when most of
Doggerland was covered by the sea. By about 7,000 years ago, sea levels hadrisen further and covered Doggerland completely.
Researchers want to learn more about the people who lived in Doggerland.
They have created 3D maps from data that has been collected by companies
searching for oil at the bottom of the sea. The researchers are using these maps tochoose sites where humans probably lived. At one of these sites, the researchers

23(). As a result, they are hopeful that they will continue to makediscoveries about the culture and lifestyles of the people of Doggerland.

The Science of False Starts
A shot is ﬁred at the beginning of a running race to tell athletes to startmoving. If one of the athletes moves before the shot is ﬁred, it is known as a“false start,” and the athlete is removed from the race. Interestingly, if an athlete
moves before 0.1 seconds have passed after the shot is ﬁred, this is also a false

24

start. Athletics organizations argue that no human can (). They say thatsuch an athlete must have been guessing when the shot would be ﬁred rather than
waiting to hear it.
To learn more about false starts, scientists have carried out experiments onhuman response times. One experiment in the 1990s found that athletes responded
to the sound of the shot after 0.12 seconds (25). Some were slightly

quicker, while others were slightly slower. However, the athletes who took part inthis experiment were amateurs. A more recent experiment showed that some
professional athletes might be able to respond in just 0.08 seconds. Both studies,
however, involved a small number of athletes.
Some people think that the false start rule is too strict. In some other sports
and track­and­ﬁeld events, athletes (26) if they break a rule. For example,

in the long jump, if an athlete’s foot goes over the line on their ﬁrst attempt, theathlete still has two more opportunities to try. Some people suggest that instead of
removing athletes who make false starts, their start position should be moved backa few meters, and this would make the races fair for everyone.

From: Melissa Simmons ＜simmonsm@wigbylibrary＞
To: Library staff ＜staff@wigbylibrary＞
Date: October 8
Subject: Story time
Dear Staff,
One of my goals as the director of Wigby Public Library is to make it a popular place
for families. Reading is important for everyone, especially children. If parents andchildren read books together, they will share happy memories and build better
relationships. Also, reading is a great way for parents to help with their children’s
education. Our library can play a surprisingly important role in making Wigby aneven smarter and more caring town!
With this in mind, I have decided to start a weekly storytelling session for children
and parents, and I need your help to make it fun. Of course, I want your suggestions
for stories. I also need someone to make posters to advertise the sessions andsomeone to look for items that the person telling the story can use to make thestories more fun. Finally, I think we should take turns telling the stories.
Please let me know if there is something you would really like to do for thesesessions. If you have any ideas that could help make them better, I would like tohear them, too. Also, if you have any ideas that will encourage more families tocome to the library, please feel free to tell me about them. You can either send mean e-mail or come to my office to talk to me in person.
Best regards,
Melissa
Director, Wigby Public Library( 27 )( 28 )( 29 )

Purple Straw Wheat
Wheat is an important crop in the United States, and its seeds are used for making
bread, pasta, and other foods. It has been the country’s main food grain since the 18th
century. Wheat production in the United States, however, has faced challenges throughout
its history. During the late 18th century, many types of wheat were attacked by diseases
and insects that came from Europe. One type of wheat called purple straw wheat, though,was able to resist these dangers, and for a long time, it was the best choice for many
farmers to plant.
Purple straw wheat seeds can be used to make whiskey or produce soft and delicious
ﬂour that is good for making cakes and bread. It has been grown since the 18th century,
especially in the southern United States. What made purple straw wheat particularly
important was its ability to survive winter weather. Unlike other types, purple straw
wheat could be planted in late autumn and harvested in early spring. This meant that it
avoided summer diseases and insects. As a result, purple straw wheat continued to be
widely grown until the mid­20th century.
In the 1960s, scientists developed new types of wheat by mixing the genes ofexisting ones. These new types produced more seeds per plant and were better able toresist diseases. By using modern farming technology, chemicals that kill insects, and these
new types of wheat, farmers could produce large quantities of wheat seeds more cheaply
than before. Although ﬂour from purple straw wheat is tastier and healthier, this type of
wheat almost completely went out of use.
Some researchers wanted to bring back purple straw wheat. However, its seeds were
not easy to obtain because there were only a few sources. The researchers ﬁnallymanaged to get a few grams of purple straw wheat seeds and planted them at Clemson
University in South Carolina. They have been gradually increasing the amount of wheatthat they can produce, although it is still not enough to make and sell ﬂour. Many chefs,
bakers, and whiskey makers are looking forward to being able to use purple straw wheatin their products.

Venice’s Books
During the Middle Ages, the Italian city of Venice was famous for international
trade. Not only was the city’s location important, but also there were fewer laws
controlling people’s behavior than in other parts of Europe. This freedom attracted
writers, artists, and craftspeople to the city. Following the invention of printing machines
in the 15th century, these people combined their abilities to make Venice the center ofthe printing and bookmaking industry in Europe. This tradition of making high­quality
books by hand survives in the city to this day.
Paolo Olbi is helping to keep this tradition alive. He makes use of techniques thathave existed for centuries to produce beautiful books, diaries, and photo albums. The
paper inside them is cut by hand, and their covers are made of hand­printed paper,
leather, wood, and even a kind of Italian glass called Murano. When Olbi began learning
his craft in 1962, there were about 20 bookstores in Venice that made handmade books.
Now, though, Olbi’s store is one of only three such places that remain.
One of Olbi’s heroes is a man called Aldus Manutius. Manutius founded a printing
company in 1494 that became one of the most famous printing companies in Venice.
Until the late 15th century, books were large, heavy, and very expensive. They were
mostly about religion and law. Manutius developed techniques to produce smaller, lighter,and cheaper books. Moreover, he printed novels and books about art and philosophy.
These developments made books more popular and easier to buy for ordinary people.
Olbi has a picture of Manutius on the wall of his store. Like Manutius, he loves
books and believes they should be beautiful. Over the years, Olbi has taught his skills to
many people. In 2018, a former student invited Olbi to display his books at an exhibitionof handmade objects. This gave Olbi a chance to get more people interested in traditional
bookmaking. Olbi wants to expand his store into a cultural center where tourists can see
how he makes books and young people can learn his techniques. By doing so, he hopes
to prevent the tradition of bookmaking in Venice from being lost.
