题目内容
18.Long,long ago people made fires from lightening (闪电).But they had to keep the fire burning,for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightening.Later,they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花).The spark could fire dry leaves.In this way they could make the fire again if it went out.Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦).They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole.They turned the stick again and again.After a few minutes they got a fire.A years went by,people learned other ways to make a fire.Sometimes they used the heat from the sun.They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries ago,people began to make matches.Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires.Today matches are still being used,but people have more new ways to make fires.One of them is to use an electric fire starter.Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches.But it is very useful.

分析 很久很久以前,人们靠闪电取火.但他们得让火一直燃烧着,因为要是熄灭了而又没有闪电,他们没办法再生火.后来,他们发现两个石头相互撞击可以产生火花,点燃干树叶.这样,他们知道了火熄灭之后再生的办法.再后来,人们在一块木头上凿开个洞,用一根小一点的木棍插进去不断旋转,几分钟之后便可生火.有时他们用正确的方式利用镜子通过太阳光点燃纸张.大约两百多年前,人们开始制造火柴,人们可以快速方便地生火.其中还有一种方法是用电打火机.当然电打火机比一盒火柴要昂贵得多,但它非常有用!
