But early horses weren馴 給 me

32、n（Dugh to perform these kindsof tasks. Scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the f

33、irst step in domestication.As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loa

34、ds would have chosen to keep stronger animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics.Modern-d

35、ay horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn t exist in the horse population before domestication. The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts

36、（礦井）with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. People bred these heavy, tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horses were important tools in the advancement

37、of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living i

38、n different areas to interact with one another. The new from of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.Before domestication horses were.A. caught for sportsB. hunted for foodC. made to pull ploughsD. used to carry peopleThe author uses the Shetland horse as an example to show .

I don t know ainythraeoffice who is better liked than you.You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees persona-life events is b

42、ecoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral (葬禮)remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts.I

43、t s notily the collected -from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected-for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don know them outside the office, who wouldn teven recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.This is basica

46、 possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities 川uminate (照亮)me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and“too seriousabout our studies w

47、hen it was becoming fashionable with our classmatesto learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“ Let s swith a train whistle today.We would sit quietly togethersapawire poems orst

48、ories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair（ 失望）and I was in despair. But our friendship was

49、based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For al

50、most four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other s dreams. SheI agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my

51、most interesting moments, I often think:Yes, I must tell .” We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist心、理學(xué)家）,who will only fill up the healing （愈合的）silence necessary to those dark

52、est moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to .become serious about her studygo to her friend s house regularlylearn from her classmates at schoolshare poems and stories with her friendIn Paragraph 3

55、able ExperiencesB. Remarkable ImaginationC. Lifelong FriendshipD. Noble CompanionsEThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no- fat diet, vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word “diet ” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and

56、potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically （身體上）Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight p

57、roblems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word“diet ” in foodlabels.On ano

58、ther level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awarenessthat we don t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe thatain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and st

59、ruggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients（營養(yǎng)成分）

60、.Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products h
