But then people learned to find more ways to get food. About 10,000 years ago people started to farm the land. After that, people developed farming skills. People eat different food in different areas. In China, rice is the main food for people in the south while the people in the north eat noodles. People who live in European countries near the sea eat lots of fish. But in Central Europe, people are away from the sea. So they don’t eat so much fish. They eat more special meat. People eat food with different tools in different areas. In China, people always like using chopsticks while in North America, Australia and Europe, people always like using knives and forks. To our surprise, in India and the Middle East, people always pick up food with their own fingers. Now people can eat different food from different areas. As we can see it is possible to convey food easily from one part of the world to another. We can almost eat whatever we like at any place of the world. For example, people in Britain can eat bananas from Africa and rice from India. Food is becoming a very big business. 16．People ________ at the beginning of human history.

It was about the secret of a special pebble (鹅卵石) that could turn anything into real gold. The special pebble was lying among other ones on the beach. Because they looked the same, the special pebble was almost impossible to be found. If people touched the special pebble, it would feel warm. However, other pebbles were cold. After learning the secret, Tom was excited. He dreamed of becoming rich. So he sold all that he had, bought garden forks, went to the beach and started picking up pebbles. On the first day, he picked up pebbles and then he threw them into the sea if there were not special. Again and again, the special pebble didn’t appear. But he didn’t give up and then he continued. Several years later, suddenly he picked up one pebble which was warm. But because he had such a strong habit of throwing one pebble after another without thinking, he threw this special one into the sea as usual. He lost the chance to be rich. What a pity! In fact, good chances do come in our life at any time. Try to hold them as soon as possible instead of missing them. ( )21．The special pebble that could turn anything into real gold would feel cold.

They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, and even more serious problems. 31 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Some give out their anger by crying loudly. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain gives out hormones (荷尔蒙). 32 In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger suddenly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure (压力). 33 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and try to find the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ 34 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 35 A．Do not express your anger while angry. B．Anger may cause you very serious problems. C．They speed the heartbeat and raise blood pressure. D．They said that laughing is much healthier than anger.
