Passage One

Men sometimes say we are better and more lever than women. Women never invent things; we do. It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: machines, rockets, and guns. But scientists and archaeologists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed the history. They invented agriculture. Before the invention of agriculture, men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals; sometimes the animals killed them. Life was difficult and then, one day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home in the middle east. They grew. And the first weed was born. The idea grew too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. They could stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home. They built villages and cities. Civilization began.

Passage Two

Hollywood hasade more films than any other film enter in the world. The warm climate and long hours of sunlight meant that filmmaking was easy and quite cheap. This was also a rich part of America, and there were many businessmen who wanted to make money from the motion picture industry. At first short cowboy films were popular because they add excitement and adventure to people's lives. Later, comedy films were made so that people could laugh and forget their troubles. Charlie Chaplin was probably the most liked of all comedy actors.

To begin with, all films were silent, and actors showed the story by acting larger than life. Charlie Chaplin was the most famous of these silent film actors. In 1926 some short films were made in which the actors spoke for the first time. Within three years nobody wanted to watch silent films although some famous actors, including Charlie Chaplin, refused to make talking films for many years.

At first all films were in black and white, but in 1932 the first color film was made. It was not until 1938 that a full-length color film was made, and the success of this film made producers everywhere change from black and white to color. This first full-length color film was translated into ten languages and made Hollywood the major center of the motion picture industry.

Passage Three

A four-year study conducted by the Infant Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendship of a sort.

The above findings, based on observation of a hundred babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the ideal way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, wellª²known pediatrician and author of books about babies supports the idea. He says that family day care is sounder in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.
