A

One day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead，they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.

He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:

“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”

Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?

“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it? [来源:gkstkgkstk]

The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.

The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”

And，from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.

And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.

41. Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?

A. To experience different lifestyles. B. To go sightseeing in different places.

C. To find what they could to feed themselves. D. To do more exercise to build themselves up.

42. From Paragraph 2，we can know that _______________.

A. people got tired of living in the same place B. people gradually got used to living in cities

C. people spent a long time in learning to keep animals

D. people tended to settle down after learning farming

43. In the teacher’s opinion, Lucy’s argument was ______

A. reasonable B. ridiculous C. puzzling D. shocking

44. Which of the following agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7)?

A. People eat young fish for its delicious taste.

B. People use recycled materials as much as possible.

C. Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.

D. Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.

45. The writer tries to make us believe that ______.

A. mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling about[来源:gkstk.Com]

B. it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled way

C. it’s quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankind

D. teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravely

It’s nice to have friends. Sometimes you need one person to talk to. You can play games, hang out or even just talk on the phone. Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong, lasting friendships. Well, take your time, and don’t rush.

?Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests.

You don’t necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. But if you have something in common with them, it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is an organization or a club for you. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them.

?Join a sports team.

As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. A sports team isn’t the only way. If you play instruments or sing ，try joining a band.

?Make small talk.

Keep the conversation light and cheery. Even if you’re complaining about something, make sure it’s something you’re both dissatisfied with, and emphasize the positive—how such a situation can be avoided in the future. Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 (30% talking, 70% listening) pattern during small talk when possible.

?Ask them out for lunch or coffee.

That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A good way to extend yourself is to say: “Hey, well, I've got to go, but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that, let me give you my number or e-mail address.” This gives the

person the opportunity to get in touch with you; they may or may not give you their information in return, but that’s fine. Maybe they don’t have time for new friends--don’t take it personally! Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend, and eventually somebody will get in touch.

?Be loyal(忠诚的）to a friend.

You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well ，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on ，be there. If your friends make a joke ，laugh with them. Never complain about a friend.

?Be a good listener.

Many people think that in order to be seen as ‘friend material’ they have to appear very interesting. Far more important than this ，however, is the ability to show that you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and just take the lime to learn more about them. You don’t want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation.

?Be trustworthy.

One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything, even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world. The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets, so it’s no secret that you shouldn’t tell other people things that were told to you in confidence.
