Nobody knows when people 【1】 controlling fire. We do know that people have been using fire for millions of years. Its many uses helped them to survive.

In the beginning, people probably used fire for three purposes: to stay warm, to keep wild animals away, and to have light in the darkness. People built fires and stayed 【2】 to them because bears and wolves would stay away from the flames. They slept near the fire for warmth, as well.

Eventually, people discovered that roasted meat tasted good. Soon they were cooking their meat and fish. Cooking kills germs. As a result, people became sick less often.

Early people thought of more 【3】 for fire. Using smoky torches, humans forced bees to leave their hive. This resulted in the people getting honey. They discovered that fire could be used for hunting, too.

Over time, people figured out that they could grow seed-bearing grass such as wheat. They needed a way to clear a field quickly so that they could plant what they wanted. It was much easier to burn a field than to cut down every bush and tree.

【4】 people had farms, they also built houses. Each home had a fireplace. Even 150 years ago a fire was always burning in most homes so that people could make soup and hot drinks at any time.

Today small fires burn in our homes in our gas furnaces, water heaters, stoves, dryers, and fireplaces. Thus, fire continues to help us thrive.

21、Fifty-five years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first came out in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most famous toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.

However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present, There are many similar (相似的) dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life fifteen years ago. She looks more like today’s pop stars with heavy makeup (浓妆) and miniskirts.

It seems that Barbie has lost her magic (魔力) among older girls. “For young girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern,” Says Vera Shepherd, a shopkeeper in a New York toy shop.

It is good news that on the international market Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In January 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become________for their own Barbies.

Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie’s 55th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world will make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but 55 is surely not the age to retire (退休).

22、Volunteers are often overlooked(忽视) by people. But no activities can carry on smoothly without hard-working volunteers. Last month, I volunteered at the Color Run in Melbourne, Australia. Although I didn’t have so much fun as the runners, I still learned a valuable lesson.

My job was to give a high five(击掌) to every runner at the finish line. At the beginning, I saw it as a simple task. When the first runner passed, I reached out my hands and shouted “Good job!” excitedly. However, as more and more people crossed the finish line and clapped their hands with mine, my arms got sore. What’s worse, it became hotter. My clothes were wet because of the sweat(汗水), and I felt really tired. But soon I saw a group of children running towards me. They were about 6 years old. Although they hardly caught their breath, they still kept going with big smiles on their faces. They put up their hands and said loudly, “High five!”

At that moment, I was quite touched. They were so young, and they refused to give up. Suddenly, I felt myself full of strength(力量). I clapped their hands, “Well done, little guys!”

That is the meaning of being a volunteer. It is never an easy job. However, we meet different people and see the spirit that touches us. Although such spirit is not often found in daily life, it can help us learn a lot when we see it by accident.

【1】Where did the Color Run take place last month?
