　　Early people had very little effect on the environment．They lived in caves in very small groups．They collected or killed only enough for the clan’s survival．Early clans were nomadic, which means that they did not stay in one place．Instead, they moved around, following the animals that were their main food source and seeking areas where seasonal plants grew wild．Moving around seasonally helped to protect the environment．The land had time to recover and animals had time to breed(繁殖)before the clan returned for the next season．

　　As time went by, these small family clans joined with others to form larger groups for protection．Joining with other clans gave them more hunters and more women to help cut up the meat and share it between families．Eventually, people tamed(驯养)wild animals such as dogs and horses．People settled around rivers and fertile plains to share responsibilities and duties．Then, people began to plant crops instead of moving to areas where the plants grew．This development changed the environment．

　　Traditional forms of work also changed．Some people were hatter at performing a particular task than other clan members, so they began to specialize in things they were good at doing．This also meant that they began to exchange their goods for things that others produced．

　　People began to communicate with distant tribes．Land was cleared for roads．Foreign plants and animals were transported to places where they had not existed before．Specialization also gave people more free time．So art, dance and music became important ways of expressing feelings and thoughts．This was how many great civilizations started．

　　Compared to the past, modern civilization has experienced many changes to become the highly developed society that exists today．Populations have increased rapidly．Forests have been cleared for farms．Inventions and technology have made work easier．

　　However, pollution and other serious problems have also resulted from human progress．As concerned citizens, it is up to us to learn from past mistakes and to help maintain and improve our environment．

The word “conservation” has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such a good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and could “last forever”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.

　　Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.

　　For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should be made part of everybody’s daily life. To know about the water table in ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic math formulas. We need to know why all watersheds (上游集水区) need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to give their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, grown trees, because living space for most of man’s fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic (立方体的) volume above the earth. In a word, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.

1.The author’s attitude towards the use of natural resources is _________.

A. positive B. uninterested C. optimistic D. critical

2.According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _________.

　　A. they had no idea about scientific forestry

　　B. they had little or no sense of environmental protection

　　C. they were not aware of the importance of nature study

　　D. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials

3.To avoid repeating the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that ______

　　A. we plant more trees

　　B. natural sciences be taught to everybody

　　C. environmental education be directed toward everyone

　　D. we return to nature

4.How can you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.

B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.[来源:Z。xx。k.Com]

C. We need to take some measures to protect space.

D. We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and animals.
