Thousands of years ago , people lived only in hot countries .They did not live in cold countries because they could not keep warm. And they did not know to make fire ,either .At times , lighting(闪电)hit a forest and started a fire . Then people took some of the fire to make a fire near their homes. A fire was important for three reasons . It kept them warm .It frightened wild animals . They did not attack people when they saw a fire .And if you cook food , it tastes much better!
But men still didn’t know how to make fire .When they had a fire , they did not let it stop burning .If it went out ,they could not start it again .They had to wait for lighting to start another fire ! Sometimes they had to wait for years .
Later ,they found how to make fire . If you rub (摩擦) two pieces of wood together ,they become hot and burn. Of course you have to rub very fast ! One way of doing it is to make a little hole in a piece of wood .pieces of wood or dry leaves are put into the hole ,then you put the end of a stick into the hole .You rub the sticks between the hands .This makes it turn quickly .The end of the stick in the hole becomes very hot .The small pieces of wood and dry leaves begin to burn.

Jealousy (妒忌)is a very common problem in daily life .It’s everywhere .For example , if someone does better than you ,you will get annoyed because you want to be No .1. We may become jealous of a best friend’s top marks in an exam ,or of the girl in art class who is praised by the teacher all the time .We get annoyed because these good things are happening to someone else but not to us .
It’s bad to feel jealous .We should be pleased with the things we have .But we still wish we had the money of this person and the talent of that person .Instead of sharing their happiness ,we just feel jealous and unhappy with ourselves .And , too often ,these feelings are expressed by speaking ill of the people we envy .
However ,envy is also a kind of compliment to others . We see that other people’s styles and talents are not the same as our own .By comparing ourselves with others ,we can know what we lack( 缺乏).And we can turn this comparison ,the envy of others ,into a kind of power .
Therefore ,being a bit jealous of others lets us know what we are like and what we want to be like .It can push us to become what we really want to be .
( )41.According to the first paragraph ,why do you be annoyed ?
A. because you are an annoying person B. Because others do something better than you
C. because the teacher doesn’t like others
( )42.From the passage we can know if you have good marks in the exam, ,a jealous person may _______.
