Long ago, the early people did not live in houses as we do today. Most of the homes were in caves or shelters (遮蔽物) which were built in trees. These ‘homes’ were only used as temporary (临时的) shelters to p 1 them from the sun, the rain and the wild animals in the forests. Men of that time were called ‘cave people’.
These ‘cave people’ usually lived in small groups and life was not e 2 for them. They had to move from place to place to s 3 for food. They would hunt, fish or pick wild fruit. When they couldn’t find a 4 to eat, they would leave to find another proper place. Their tools were very simple. They ate raw (生的) food u 5 they learnt how to make a fire. For clothing, they used only the bark (树皮) of trees or the skins (皮) of animals to c 6 their bodies.
However, the lives of the ‘cave people’ changed. They collected the seeds (种子) of wild plants that g 7 in the forests. Soon they learnt to plant fruit, vegetables and other crops. They also kept cows, sheep and other kinds of farm a 8 for milk, meat and skins. They became f 9 and lived in only one certain area. Their groups became l 10 than before as they lived more settled (固定的) lives. They built houses as long-lasting homes, and as a result, villages and towns developed quickly.

Even though my grandfather was a farmer, my grandmother would iron his work clothes every day. Grandmother mixed up her own starch (淀粉浆) in a glass b 31 with a metal cap that had several holes. She sprinkled Grandfather’s jeans with the starch, hung them over a chair for a few minutes, and then i 32 them.
Because I watched her do this through my childhood, I thought every old woman did it. But as the years passed, I began to question this p 33 . Why did Grandfather need his work clothes ironed? Most days, he never saw anyone b 34 me and maybe a few other farmers. The clothes became dirty in just a short time. Why did Grandmother s 35 devote time and effort to ironing Grandfather’s clothes that were rarely seen?
One day when I was about 13, I asked Grandmother about it. She told me Grandfather was the most handsome man in the world. Later that day, I looked c 36 at Grandfather. He sure didn’t look so handsome to me. He was short and fat with false teeth (假牙). Later I told her my thought.
She gave me a girlish smile and said, “You just aren’t looking in the right light, Cathy. I remember when he had r 37 teeth. He has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. They are e 38 the same color as the sky just before the sun goes down. I want the world to see my h 39 as the most beautiful man. I want him to feel beautiful. I iron his clothes every day because for all these years, he has made me feel beautiful.”
The years went on, and I watched Grandmother and Grandfather grow old together. I was probably 30 when I u 40 what beauty really was. It was Grandmother ironing Grandfather’s jeans with starch from a glass bottle.

Erie Green has always wondered about things that live in the ocean. When he was y 41 , he loved to swim. He liked to watch all kinds of underwater animals and plants through his mask (潜水面罩). When he grew up, he wanted to l 42 for new things in the ocean.
Today, Mr. Green is a marine ecologist (海洋生态学家). He studies how underwater animals and plants connect with each other and need each other to stay a 43 .
Mr. Green studies coral reefs (珊瑚) in the Pacific Ocean. A coral reef is like a big underwater t 44 . Thousands of animals and plants live there. They compete for food and space there. As a result, the beautiful coral reefs get i 45 easily.
Mr. Green also studies how people’s actions can change coral reefs. Sometimes people pollute the water or overfish, so the w 46 that all the living things are joined together has been changed. If coral reefs get hurt, many animals have to find new homes. Some animals’ n 47 drop low, and some animals just disappear. Mr. Green wants to p 48 this from happening.
Mr. Green believes that all living things in a coral reef should be k 49 safe. “Underwater ecosystems are like airplanes,” Mr. Green says. “They need all of their parts to work correctly.” “To take better care of marine homes, we first must k 50 them. Only through that, can we understand the great influence humans have on these places.” Mr. Green says.
