When the world was very young, people lived only in hot places. They did not live in cold places because they could not keep warm there.

  At first men did not know how to make a fire. Sometimes trees were hit by lightning(閃電). Then a fire was started. People took some of the fire near their homes. A fire was very important for three reasons. It kept them warm. Wild animals were frightened when they saw it. And when food was cooked, it tasted much better.

  But men did not know how to make a fire. When they had a fire, they did not let it stop burning. If it went out(熄滅), They could not start it again. They had to wait for lightning to start another fire. Sometimes they had to wait for years.

   Later, they learned how to make a fire. But it was not easy to make something burn.

   Now we have matches. We can carry them in our pockets and make a fire when we want to.

請認真閱讀下面短文,并根據(jù)各題所給首字母的提示,寫出一個合適的英語單詞完整、正確的形式,使短文通順。

You’re standing with your classmates. E  66 ___  is talking except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at when you say. Maybe you just aren’t b  67  enough to speak. Shyness is like a snake that crawls(爬進)into our mouth and s  68  us speaking. But we shouldn’t let it stay there.

I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes v  69  me. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the w  70  to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a j  71  in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers(顧客). I had to tell them how m  72 their meal cost. I had to ask them if they want to drink Coke or Sprite.

This job taught me how to speak with people. You may be too young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other c  73  to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. O  74  you can go to get a newspaper for your family. If you do these things for a while, the ‘shyness’ snake will soon begin to l  75  you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.
