For example, they can wash cars, clean gardens, look after babies and so on. Sit down with children and talk with them about some ways they could make money.

Do you know why people living particular (特殊) areas usually have a certain color? Biology and history are the two reasons for this?Skin includes something called melanin, which decides a person’s skin color. The more melanin a person has, the darker his or her skin will be. The amount of and the production of melanin are controlled by genetics (遗传因子), but can beaffected by other things, such as sunlight. If a person lives in a place with less sunlight, a person’s body will produce less melanin, making the skin lighter.Skin color is also affected by another source—vitamin D. humans all need vitamin D to build bones, people can get it by eating foods such as fish and milk, or from sunlight, so sunlight absorbed by melanin cannot be used for Vitamin D production. Therefore, a dark—skinned person will produce less vitamin D than a light—skinned person when they received the same amount of sunlight.The connection between vitamin D production and skin color is clear when we look at evolution (演变). The earliest humans lived in Africa and their dark skin produced less vitamin D because of their dark skin. As a result, their skin made less melanin, so they could get enough sunlight to produce vitamin D. their skin gradually got lighter and they lost hair. Now, people living areas with strong sunlight like Africa, have darker skin, while people living in other areas have lighter skin. The exception to this is the Inuit (因纽特人), who live in a place with little with little sunlight, but they have dark skin because they eat a lot of fish and have enough vitamin D.Evolution has given us a rainbow of skin colors. Humans have always had melanin to decide our skin color. What has changed through history is the environment where we have lived. This has in turn changed our melanin production, and eventually, skin color.A World of Skin Color36._________; 37._________; 38._________; 39._________; 40.__________五、词汇（本题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）A. 根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空填一词。
