In 2012 the remains (bones) of a man were discovered at the site of a former church in England. Certain features suggested that these remains belonged to Richard III, who died in 1485—the last English king killed in battle. Many historians were excited by the possibility that Richard Ill’s remains had been discovered after so many centuries. However, new evidence indicates that these remains cannot be those of Richard III.
First, the man’s hair color seems incorrect for Richard III. DNA evidence recovered from the remains showed that the man had DNA associated with blond hair. However, Richard III is depicted as a man with brown hair in all of his existing portraits, making it doubtful that the remains belong to Richard III.
Second, the remains seem to be too old to be those of Richard III. Researchers used a technique called radiocarbon dating to examine the level of radioactive carbon in the remains and thus determine how old the bones were. This dating revealed that the remains were from a man who died in the first half of the fifteenth century. Since Richard III died in the second half of the fifteenth century, in 1485, the remains are too old to be those of the English king.
Finally, the remains did not show any signs of wounds or injuries, except the fatal ones at the time of the man’s death. Richard III was an experienced military commander who had been in many battles and had been involved in dangerous fighting. Therefore, his remains would likely contain marks on the bones of healed wounds from his previous battles. However, the remains of the man found in the church showed no evidence of healed wounds.

教授：看求职者的社交账号能帮助公司筛选吗？
Andrew：不能。
Claire：不能。
Dr. Diaz: Today, will be discussing a company’s hiring strategies. When hiring new employees, recruiters usually review resumes to learn about candidates. However, with socia media becoming popular, some companies are trying new ways to find out more about candidates. Recruiters view what candidates post on social media, like Twitter to see their personality and skills. This helps to see if they match with the company’s culture and job requirements. Do you believe that checking a candidate’s social media is a fair and effective way to evaluate if someone is right for the company? Why or why not?
Andrew: This approach is fresh and interesting, but it has its drawbacks. Some candidates are superactive on social media, while others rarely share anything. So, just looking at their online profiles might not give recruiters the whole story of what they’re really like.
Claire: I don’t think this is a great idea. What people share on their personal social media might not be related to their professional abilities or work ethics. Things like photos they’ve posted or comments they’ve made don’t really help recruiters judge if they’re suitable for the company.
