Scientists say a mineral fund in mn dust suggests Earth's mn is 40 millin years lder than scientists had believed. The finding was made by researchers wh examined mn rck samples gathered frm the mn surface in 1972—the last time humans walked n the mn. The samples were part f a cllectin f 110 kilgrams f dust and rck returned t Earth fr scientific study.
The American space agency NASA says the leading thery n hw the mn frmed invlves a huge crash. NASA says a Mars-sized bject likely crashed int Earth and released material frm bth bjects, which frmed the mn. But the exact timing f when the mn was created has been difficult t identify. A new study based n the 1972 samples suggests the mn frmed abut 4.46 billin years ag.
The research was led by a team frm the Field Museum f Natural Histry in Chicag, Illinis. The study examined small minerals fund in the mn dust. The team said these minerals cntained Zircn, which is believed t have frmed when the mn surface cled after the crash. Philipp Heck, a researcher frm the Field Museum, nted that the huge crash that frmed the mn was a majr event that changed Earth's rtatinal （自转的） speed. He added, “The frmatin time f the mn is imprtant as nly after that Earth became a habitable planet.”
Jennika Greer, the leader f the research, said the finding is “a great example f what the atmic scale can tell us abut big-picture questins.” Greer hpes the finding can serve as a basis fr answering many questins abut the mn. “It's amazing t knw that the rck yu're hlding is the ldest bit f the Mn we've fund s far.” She added, “When yu knw hw ld smething is, yu can better understand what has happened t it in its histry.”

Hw d we learn a language? Suzanne Graham, Prfessr f Language and Educatin at the University f Reading, investigates hw learners make sense f what they read r hear in a freign language and hw teachers can supprt their learning. Befre she began this wrk, she studied French, German, Latin and Russian herself and became a language teacher, which sparked her curisity in the prcess f language learning.
Early in her academic career, Prfessr Graham analysed mtivatin levels amng several hundred 16-t-19-year-lds wh were learning French. Her study prvided evidence f a relatinship between students' understanding f hw t imprve their learning, their cnfidence in their wn ability, and their mtivatin t cntinue language study.
Prfessr Graham went n t explre ways t imprve strategies fr learning French listening skills. She als examined hw secndary schl teachers thught abut secnd-language listening, and hw they taught it t Key Stage 3 （11-14 years ld） pupils. Prfessr Graham embedded（把…嵌入） the utcmes f this research in a set f Principles fr Practice, which she develped, alng with supprting materials and tls. These are nw helping teachers learn hw t develp students' listening skills in a mre effective, research-infrmed way.
Nw, Prfessr Graham is leading the Language Learning strand f the Creative Multilingualism research prgramme, a large prject invlving several universities and partner rganizatins.
