Men still did not know how to make a fire. When they had a fire they did not let it stop burning. If it went out, they could not start it again. They had to wait for lightning to start another fire! Sometimes they had to wait for years.
Later they discovered how to make a fire. If you rub pieces of wood together, they become hot and burn. You have to rub very fast! One way of doing it is to make a little hole in a piece of wood. Pieces of wood or dry leaves are put into the hole. Then you put the end of a stick into the hole. You rub the stick between your hands. This makes it turn very quickly. The end in the hole becomes very hot. The small pieces of wood and dry leaves begin to burn.
Another way of making a fire is to knock two stones together. This makes a spark. You can use this spark to start a fire. Nowadays we have matches. We can carry them in our pockets and make a fire when we want to. We also have cigarette lighters. They are, perhaps, handier and more useful than matches. There are, of course, other advanced methods of making a fire. Many people use heaters to keep warm. Oil heaters bum oil. Gas heaters burn gas. Electric heaters use electricity. We also use oil, gas and electricity for cooking.
How was fire first made?
A.Lightning hit a forest and started a fire.
B.People rubbed two pieces of wood together to make a fire.
C.People knock two pieces of stone together to make a fire.
D.People rubbed a stick between their hands to make a fire.

Animal Intelligence
Are Animals intelligent? If they are, which animals are the most intelligent? These are not easy questions to answer. In the first place, no one is quite sure what intelligence is.
We often say that intelligence means being able to solve problems.(46). For example, dogs and cats often find their way home from long distances. To do this they have to use their intelligence. They have to remember and think. But many birds find their way over long distances, too. They travel thousands of miles every year when they move from cool to warmer places. We do not know how they do this but we know that they do not use their intelligence.
(47). Young birds are able to make these journeys without help as soon as they can fly. They are born with this ability. This is not intelligence. We call this 'instinct'.
Often we cannot be sure whether an animal is acting intelligently or instinctively. When a dog hears a strange noise, it barks. This is instinct. It cannot stop itself from doing this. It does not really know why it is doing this. But supposing a house is on fire and the dog barks outside its master's bedroom until he wakes up, is the dog using its intelligence?(48). Often we cannot be sure.
Many animals, however, can be taught to sole problems, especially when they are given rewards. Rats have been taught to press a lever to get food. Pigeons have been taught to peck a disc for the same reason. Even an octopus (章鱼) has been trained to know the difference between a square and an oblong (长方形) ! Animals in circuses have been taught to do all sorts of tricks to amuse an audience.(49). It is saying, " if I do this, I will get a reward. Therefore I will do it." This may be thought of as a low kind of intelligence.
Some animals, however, show a much higher kind of intelligence. They solve problems without any help. Chimpanzees, one of the ape family, are much more intelligent than other animals. A chimpanzee once did something even more intelligent. He did not have a stick. He had two short tubes. Neither of the tubes was long enough to reach the banana but one was wider than the other. He jammed the narrow tube inside the wider tube and in this way made one tube long enough to reach the banana(50).
A Is it solving the problem by waking its master or is it simply barking instinctively because it is afraid?
B Chimpanzees can solve certain problems without any help.
C Some animals seem able to do this.
D In all these cases we may say that an animal is using intelligence.
E In other words, he did not simply use a tool, which itself is intelligent: he made a tool.
F They do not remember places and directions and then make decisions.

听力原文: Back in those primitive times it was unnecessary to have a special form. of exchange value for everything, like a price. In thee times the only things that were really valuable were the skills to sat vive. But as society became more complex, people depend more on others who were living far away; then it became important for people to develop some method for exchanging value without having to ex change the actual goods.
This need to develop a method for exchanging value was what led to the use of money. Money was a means of exchanging value without having to actually exchange the specific things you wanted. Before the use of money, people had to trade things with each other, and it was usually very difficult to decide what everything was worth in relation to each other. If you had three animals skins and your friend had two pots of dried betas, how did you know how many skins were equivalent to a pet of beans if they didn't have a price? With the introduction of money, all things could begin to hate a common value that everybody could know about. This led to a standardized set of values among people. As the power of money increased, values that were different from the majority were no longer recognized. The value of something in terms of money became the ultimate value. In order for money to function, the whole society has to agree on the same values.
