8.In 1879,a group of explorers made an incredible find.They discovered paintings of remarkable beauty on the walls of a cave in Spain.Some scientists believed that these paintings were created by early humans from the Stone Age,between ten and thirty thousand years ago.Other scientists and the public did not believe the claim,but over the years,it was proven correct.Our ancestors had incredible artistic talents.
Most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in Spain and France.A smaller number of such caves are located in Italy,Portugal,Russia,and other countries.Scientists believe that many more caves will be discovered in the coming years,and are concentrating their efforts on Africa and the area between Europe and Asia.These two regions of the world were,populated first by humans.
Cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves,usually near the entrance.The entrance area was probably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings.In some cases,the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light.Evidence suggests that the artists used torches or shallow bowls in which animal fat was burned.

6.Last year,I was on a trip in Sanxiarenjia in Yichang,Hubei.I waited for the boat  (61)to take  (take) me along the Yijiang River.Out of nowhere,a shirtless man ran up to me and asked to take a photo with me.(62)We both smiled as he said I was the first foreigner he had ever seen.He said"thank you"and ran off again.
The experience was funny,and it wasn't the first time this (63)had happened (happen) to me.In fact,almost all the foreigners I know in China have experienced the  (64)same thing.Girls with blonde hair seem to be the most (65)photographed  (photograph).Most of them were surprised at first,but they now enjoy having their photo taken with happy students.
Of course,many countries in the West are home to different ethnicities.So it is normal to see people (66)who/that look different.But it's different in many areas of China.
Personally,I think it's fine to take photos with strangers.But try to ask first.Once I (67)was waiting  (wait) for my friend in an art district when a group of girls began giggling (咯咯地笑) at their phones.I noticed one of them was pointing the camera at me,(68)secretly (secret) taking photos.When I spotted them,they smiled and asked if they (69)could  take a photo with me.Maybe it is shyness,but I prefer when people ask  (70)before  they take a photo.Most foreigners will say yes.
3.Before leaving work,Steve Lee likes to use his cell phone to turn on his heat and air condition system at home.So by the time he gets through traffic into his front door,the temperature inside is perfect.You may wonder what a so-called smart home can do inside.
Lee works for a company called Smarthome.com,testing and living with many of his company's home automation gadgets(自动化小配件),like this multifunction touch screen that controls devices around the house and even connects to the Internet traffic cameras.
"I have cameras,and they follow all the way down the freeway to work,"said Lee with pride,"What's going on at home when you are away?No problem,install some wireless cameras and controllers and from any computer in the world with an Internet connection,you can watch your house."
"You can check on the house,and I can look at the temperature.Believe it or not,if I want to turn on lights ahead of time,I can,"added Lee.
We sat in Steve's California kitchen and with the right password,turned on the kitchen counter lights at his boss'house in Wisconsin.Steve did have permission to log on(登录).
"If you do know the password and you want to play a trick on your wife,you could turn lights on and off remotely."
This new technology,which can automatically turn on water sprinklers when humidity is low,or turn off a pool pump when it is not in use,is no longer expensive.Several hundred dollars for a basic system is enough and it is not hard to install.
Sure the convenience is nice but many people who like the security advantages like making sure kids are safe with the help of camera monitors and bedside alerts.
"I can notice that maybe one of my children wakes up in the middle of the night once the light switch is turned on."
What a smart home can't do is get you a snack and you have to leave the couch for that.
