Ancient Mexican Food Also Relied On Hot Peppers

看看一些美国太太们（I’m pretty sure most of them are）网上聊辣椒，就可以知道有关的常用词汇了，诸如cayenne pepper, Tobasco sauce。

On the July 3rd podcast we talked about a variety of super hot habanero peppers that's
brand new. Now comes news about some chili peppers that are really old. 2 caves in southern Mexico were found to contain leftovers, possibly 1500-year-old leftovers of 10 different kinds of cultivated chili peppers. That's according to Smithsonian researchers writing in the latest online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The arid conditions in the caves preserve plants well and have already offered info about ancient Mexican agriculture. For example, squash was cultivated in the region 10,000 years ago. And the caves also contain corn(s), beans, avacados in addition to the chili peppers.

It would take a genetic analysis to tell if the chili varieties correspond to modern peppers, although one kind of pepper looks a lot like modern cayenne and another like Tabasco. The researchers did determine that the people who grew the peppers used them both fresh and dried. One cave had 7 varieties leading a researcher to say, you don't grow 7 different kinds of chilis, unless you are cooking some pretty interesting food.

Reading financial news will help. Perhaps you want to do it everyday for a while until you get used to it.    :)

那请问从哪里读这样的新闻比较好啊?

Where can we get financial news?

Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/) is one of the most comprehensive financial news providers. In addition, you can read the business section of most major newspapers, such as New York Times, Reuters, MSNBC, just to name a few.

我觉得在前人基础上修改比较清楚，自己也能检查一下，别人看起来也知道应该对哪一个。
这样你帖我帖的有点混乱。最终也不知道用哪个版本，降低了效率。

纯粹提一点个人意见啊。
