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、Here is a difficult question. Are you happy?
It’s difficult because it depends on who you compare yourself to. Most people compare themselves with those around them. Am I happier than my classmates or my friends? We also compare ourselves with people we never meet. When we compare so, we may feel sad easily.
People like sad stories. We are interested in other people’s sadness, but we don’t let others know our own. Psychologists(心理学家) find that people don’t feel like telling others when they’re sad or upset, but will shout if they are happy.
People often show their happiness in public while hiding their sadness.
As the famous thinker Montesquieu said about 300 years ago:
“If we only want to be happy, it will be easy. But if we want to be happier than other people, it is almost always difficult. Because we think them happier than they are.”
【1】When we often compare ourselves with others, we may feel_______.
A.excited
B.interested
C.sad
D.surprised
【2】Why do people like sad stories?
A.Because sad stories are interesting.
B.Because they are interested in other people’s sadness.
C.Because they want other people to know their happiness.
D.Because they will feel sad.
【3】When people are in public, they show________.
A.they are happy
B.they are successful
C.they are sad
D.they are upset
【4】The underlined word “hiding” means “________” in Chinese.
A.泄露
B.保护
C.约束
D.隐藏
【5】What can we learn from Montesquieu’s words?
A.To compare ourselves with others is a good way to be happy.
B.It’s always difficult to feel happier than others.
C.People will feel happy when they are alone.
D.It’s difficult for everyone to be happy.
