20、ance10 From the beginning rivers have played an important part in the life of man.

21、eat water-way for the transport of goods and people.Water is natures most precious gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash.

22、 shortage of water in heavily populated agricultural areas will cause great hardship and starvation as crops fail.Water is also a source of energy and power.

But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we

27、 did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or i

28、n a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people v/ho lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.

29、But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past.

37、ens work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat.
