　　We know that many animals do not stay in one place．Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time．They move for different reasons：most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded．

　　When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food．Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed．The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”(鲑鱼)．This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water．There it spends its life．When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water．Then it gives birth and dies．In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse．They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded．They move down to the low land．Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea．

　　Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾)．Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean．Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go． So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place, but at other times we don’t．Maybe living things just like to travel．

　　History is the story of us, human beings．Everyone who has lived and everything that has happened are part of history．But history is not only what happened in the past．The word also means the study of the past, through old written records and other kinds of facts．

　　Why do we study history?One reason is that we enjoy it．A good story is even better if it is true, and history is full of good stories, though they can be terrible too．A more serious reason is to understand ourselves and the world we live in．To understand events happening now, we need to know their causes．We cannot understand the present if we know nothing about the past．History helps to explain why things are the way they are．

　　Of course, history books cannot tell us everything about the past, not even everything that is recorded．A history of the world has to pick out the people and events that changed the world．

　　Since ancient times, great civilizations have appeared in different countries and regions．Usually, only three or four existed at the same time．While they lasted, they changed the lives not only of their own people, but of their neighbors too．

　　注：(1)civilizations文明　(2)exist存在　(3)region地区
