  In addition to the need for food, man also has need of some kind of protection from heat and cold and from wind and rain. The first homes of man were very simple. The size and kind of buildings which he built were limited by his technical knowledge and also by the kind of building materials which were available (可得到的) to him. Climate also had an important influence. In some places, man's home would be nothing more than a cave in the side of a hill, with a fire at the entrance to give light and warmth and to keep dangerous wild animals away. In warmer areas primitive man (原始人) could use branches to make a framework (框架) which he then covered with leaves.

  The community’s way of life was another important influence on the kinds of houses which were built. For example, a hunting society had to move frequently from one place to another to find its food. Therefore, the houses of the people of a hunting society were made so that they could be moved easily. An agricultural society would probably stay in one place for a long time. The homes of these people could be more permanent.

  When settlements grew larger and civilization (文明) became more complex (复杂的), other differences developed in buildings. The most important men in the village, or the men with more property probably had larger and better homes. There were also buildings constructed for special purposes: some kind of large building for public meetings;shops and offices for commercial (商业的) activities;schools, churches, hospitals, theaters, jails or prisons, and many other specialized structures.

  The technical knowledge and skill of the twentieth century makes it possible for man to build structures which would have been impossible a hundred years ago. Construction is now an important industry. As the population of the world grows, more and more buildings of many different kinds will be needed. In planning the construction of these buildings, architects (建筑师) will be using knowledge gained through centuries of experience. At the same time they will be utilizing new materials and developing new methods and techniques in order to meet the needs of still larger and more complex societies.

1.The first homes of man were very simple

A.because he did not have fire.

2.When people of a hunting society built houses

3.Men began to construct buildings for special purposes
