Finding fossil man 发现化⽯石⼈人 Why are legends handed down by storytellers useful? We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas -- legends handed down from one generation of storytellers to another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago. But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from. Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especiallyflint, because this is easier to shapethan other kinds.They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rottedaway. Stone does not decay, and so thetools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappearedwithout trace.　读到flint 打⽕火⽯石anthropomorphic ⼈人格化拟1anthropo ⼈人类的让步⼀一⼀一trace backdate back read of read abouta trace of ⼀一些resound u叙述　Polynesian adj.波利利尼⻄西亚(中太平洋之⼀一群岛)的 Indonesia n. 印度尼⻄西亚 我们从书籍中可读到5,000 年年前近东发⽣生的事情，那⾥里里的⼈人最早学会了了写字。

What was the main objective of early mountain climbers?Modern alpinists try to climb mountains by a route whichwill give them good sport, and the more difficult it is, the more highly it is regarded. In the pioneering days, however, this was not the case at all. The early climbers were looking for the easiest way to the top, because the summit was the prize they sought, especially if it and never been attained2 before. It is true that during their explorations they often faced difficulties and dangers of the most perilous4 nature, equipped in a manner with would make a modern climber shudder5 at the thought, but they did not go out of their way to court such excitement. They had a single aim, a solitary6 goal -- the top!It is hard for us to realize nowadays how difficult it was for the pioneers. Except for one or two places such as Zermatt and Chamonix, which had rapidly become popular, Alpine7 village tended to be impoverished9 settlements cutoff from civilization by the high mountains. Such inns as there were generally dirty and flea-ridden; the food simply local cheese accompanied by bread often twelve months old,all washed down with coarse wine. Often a valley boasted no inn at all, and climbers found shelter wherever they could -- sometimes with the local priest (who was usually as poor as his parishioners), sometimes with shepherds or cheese-makers. Invariably the background was the same： dirt and poverty, and very uncomfortable. For men accustomed to eating seven-course dinners and sleeping between fine linen11 sheets at home, the change to the Alps must have very hard indeed.WALTER UNSWORTH Matterhorn ManNew words and expressions 生词和短语Matterhornn. 马特霍恩峰（阿尔卑斯山之一，在意大利和瑞士边境）alpinistn. 登山运动员pioneerv. 开辟，倡导；n. 先锋，开辟者summitn. 顶峰attain1v. 到达perilousadj. 危险的shudderv. 不寒而栗courtv. 追求solitaryadj. 的impoverish8v. 使贫困Alpineadj. 阿尔卑斯山的 flea-riddenadj. 布满跳蚤的coarseadj. 粗劣的boastv. 自恃有parishionern. 教区居民shepherdn. 牧羊人linen。
