20、ance10 From the beginning rivers have played an important part in the life of man. Primitive man used rivers as a means of travel.In ancient times, man settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires and civilizations. The Menam runs through modern Bangkok(曼谷), still serving as a gr
21、eat water-way for the transport of goods and people.Water is natures most precious gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash. In nations far and wide rivers mean life and wealth. The Irrawaddy, Nile, Ganges and a host of others feed and clothe the nations around them. A
22、 shortage of water in heavily populated agricultural areas will cause great hardship and starvation as crops fail.Water is also a source of energy and power. Man constructs huge dams across rivers to control the water irrigation and obtain the energy needed to drive generators. The electrical power
23、is then channeled to homes, cities, factories, television stations and the military(军方).Man uses billions of litres of water each day.

But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we
27、 did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or i
28、n a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people v/ho lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.
29、But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and sto
30、ries have been made about most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history“. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable
31、to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing.

32、story, compared with written history, is less reliable.（B） Written records of the past plays a most important role in our knowledge of human history.（C） A written account of our daily activities helps us to remember the events that happened in the past.（D）Where there are no written records, there is
33、 no history.17 We know very little about what happened in Central Africa 200 years ago because_.（A）there was nothing worth being written down at that time（B） people there had not known how to write in those days（C） the written records were perhaps destroyed in a fire（D）people there ignored the impor

36、te history.（D）Remembered history can last for a long time.20 If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876l947), concluded from other m
37、ens work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than
38、 they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring mans mental abilities are affected by the same factor
