My wife, one of her first visits to my mothers house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her d

22、rink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.

Now m

24、y sister has developed a second-hand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.

When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain gr

33、asses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer productions the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the wonder of agriculture; cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take the

34、ir living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the built up knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close relationship with plants in the wild would begin fade away. 51.
