| The incident took place on Sunday,the 25th Of June. On that particular day,a south wind had been gusting (劲吹) on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern,so we carried on our daily work not suspecting what was about to happen. The storm gave us very little warming. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon (地平线) so suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then,we were not really worried,as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then,just as the clouds had moved inland,the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm. Instantly,we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we could do about the corps. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above river. If the river flooded,they should be safe there. In the meantime,my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service. If the tin flew off,it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows.If the storm develop into a cyclone (旋风), the boards would protect the glass. The storm raged for four hours,pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As expected. the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock. ' Then, just as we were beginning to lose hope,the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The animals were safe, and the roof was still nailed on. "All's well that ends well," Said my mother. |

| Early people had very little effect on the environment. They lived in eaves in very small ' clan' groups. They collected or killed only enough for the clan's survival. Early clans were nomadic, which means that they did not stay in one place. Instead, they moved around, following the animals that were their main food source and seeking areas where seasonal plants grew wild. Moving around seasonally helped to protect the environment. The land had time to recover and animals had time to breed (繁殖) before the clan returned for the next season. As time went by, these small family clans joined with others to form larger groups for protection. Joining with other clans gave them more hunters and more women to help cut up the meat and share it between families. Eventually, people tamed (驯养) wild animals such as dogs and horses. People settled around rivers and fertile plains to share responsibilities and duties. Then, people began to plant crops instead of moving to areas where the plants grew. This development changed the environment. Traditional forms of work also changed. Some people were hatter at performing a particular task than other clan members, so they began to specialize in things they were good at doing. This also meant that they began to exchange their goods for things that others produced. People began to communicate with distant tribes. Land was cleared for roads. Foreign plants and animals were transported to places where they had not existed before. Specialization also gave people more free time. So art, dance and music became important ways of expressing feelings and thoughts. This was how many great civilizations started. Compared to the past, modern civilization has experienced many changes to become the highly developed society that exists today. Populations have increased rapidly. Forests have been cleared for farms. Inventions and technology have made work easier. However, pollution and other serious problems have also resulted from human progress. As concerned citizens, it is up to us to learn from past mistakes and to help maintain and improve our environment. |
| 1. Early tribes didn't have much effect on animal population because _____. |
| A. they kept animals for themselves B. they ate only vegetables C. they killed only enough for food D. they loved animals |
| 2. The main purpose for small clans to join together was _____. |
| A. to hunt animals B. to seek safety C. to share caves D. to protect environment |
| 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? |
| A. Early people moved to new places looking for new sources of food. B. Modem civilization began when people started to live together in big groups. C. Modem advancements are always good for the environment. D. People began to exchange goods because they didn't have enough money. |
| 4. It can be concluded from the passage that _____. |
| A. human progress has brought civilization to the society B. civilization has improved traditional forms of work C. our environment has been affected by human progress D. early people understood environmental protection |

They must he able to write up their own research clearly so that others can follow it. They also need to be able to give lectures about their findings, so that they can spread knowledge. Ichthyologists who wish to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study. The first area is aquaculture (水产养殖). This involves the study and practice of fish farming and management. Because it is a rather new study, there are very few job opportunities available. However, as there is so much to discover, many see it as an exciting area for a new ichthyologist to enter. The second area is fisheries science, which means working with a team of scientists to find out more about different fish species. The third area is about the protection of natural fish populations. This is very important today, given that many fish species are in danger of dying out because of the actions of humans. To become a successful fish scientist, you need to have a curious mind and be able to work on your own.
