Milk was one of main   1   of people   2  history was written. It will probably keep on   3  one as long as there are animals that give   4  .   5   the word “milk” is very   6   It comes from Sanskrit (梵文), one of the oldest

languages known   7   man. A very old picture of milking has been found．It was   8   more than five thousand years ago.

    In the years   9   , people got their milk from their own animals. But   10   new inventions made the milk industry a big   11   . In1651 Gail Borden found a   12  to take some of the water out of milk. This made it keep   13   longer. Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced a way to   14   the bacteria (细菌) in milk.   15   a special milk was made. This was followed by the   16   of machines that could fill   17   of milk.

    These discoveries had a great    18    the milk industry. They meant that milk could be stored longer.

　　 A problem has grown up   6    the street cleaners and the people   7   in the street.

Can I help you?” I could hardly see the young woman who had spoken to me, but was   11   to find another person out in the fog. I explained where I wanted to go, and she said she knew exactly how to get there. I was doubtful, but followed her   12   the dark streets.

　　 “ Frank!”  I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t answer, as I knew, but all the time   1   his foot against mine.

Helene Warton and her sister Charlotte don’t go to school. Instead they are taught in their 1 by their parents, Heidrun and Richard Warton. The Wartons are one of the rapidly growing number of families in Britain who are 2 with the school system. The most famous 3 is probably the Lawence family, whose home—taught daughter Ruth recently 4 a first-class degree at Oxford University, at the age of 13.

    Until Christmas 1982, Helence and Charlotte Warton 5 their local village primary school. But Helence, a clever and tidy girl, had difficulties, “I’m slow at writing and things like that,”she says, “I don’t like reading aloud; I got left 6 .” It was not until Mrs. Warton met another family who were members of a(n) 7 called Education Otherwise that she 8 that it was possible for children to be 9 at home.

    However giving up school can produce an unpleasant feeling and effect on both parents and children. “We were very 10 in the beginning”, says Heidrun Warton. We tried to 11 it like school at first. But gradually the family relaxed, and soon noticed the advantages of home education. Helence could work at her own 12 and began to read a great deal. Curiosity and self—motivation became very important. 13 was no longer competitive, it was divided into subjects and it became more practical. 14 learning from books, Helence and Charlotte started to cook, help in the garden, do housework, visit museums and other places of interest with her parents, and go to drama and music lessons. They got more 15 to see what their mother calls “real life”—their parents and other adults 16 everyday things.

    Heidrun Warton is not a qualified teacher, and she believes that parents don't need special qualifications (资格): “Young children want to learn”, she says. “You don’t 17 children at home; you just allow them to learn.” She has become very 18 about the normal school system. “Education authorities (权威者) are not willing to really 19 . They feel that they are experts, and the only ones 20 to teach children. But mothers will always teach their children more than anyone else-but in a natural way.”

No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we1 correctly the signs around us we can 2 what the more changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries people have 3 the weather and tried to 4 weather forecasting.

Sometimes 5 objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a 6 of much water vapor in the 7  and therefore rain will probably come.

Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their 8 the coming of wet weather. Their joints (关节) ache. Some birds fly 9 as fine weather is coming but they fly near the ground 10 or stormy weather is 11 the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting 12 they fly 13 .

If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such 14 always come in the evening. If the stars 15 clearly at night, then fair weather will 16 . If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if a fog appears in the evening the next day will bring wet 17.

If the sunset is mostly red in 18 , then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the 19 sayings have been made by people who have used their 20 and brains to make weather forecasting.
