In Africa, when the antelope wakes up every morning, the first thing         31.            comes into his mind is, “I must be able to run   32.       (fast) than the fastest lion,  33.            I will be killed by a lion.” And at just the same time, the lion   34.         (wake) out of his dream, and the first thing          35.              (flash) into his mind is: “I must be able to catch up with the slowest antelope, otherwise I will starve to   36.             (dead).” So almost at the same moment   37.         the antelope and the lion jump to their feet, and start  38.               (run) toward the rising sun.

Such is life —   39.         you are an antelope or a lion, you ought to dash forward without   40.         (hesitate) when the sun rises.

Many animals  31         (disappear) during the history of the earth.       32          (famous) of these animals were dinosaurs. They lived on the earth        33           (ten) of millions of years ago, long    34        humans came into being. There were many different species of dinosaur and several of them have been found in China. The eggs of twenty-five species have been found in Xixia County, Nanyang, Henan Province, and not long ago a rare new species of bird-like dinosaur was discovered in Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province. The scientists were surprised      35         (find) they could run    36      other dinosaurs, but also climb trees. They could tell this from the way the bones   37          (join) together.

Dinosaurs died    38        quickly about 65 million years ago. Some scientists think it was after a large rock hit the earth and put too much dust into the air. Others think the earth got    39        hot for the dinosaurs to live on any more. Nobody knows   40          sure. In the same way there are animals that have died out more recently and no one knows why. Listen to the story about the dodo, an animal that has disappeared from the earth.

People bought tools that they needed for farm work; salt, sugar and  6       foods that the farm didn’t produce; articles of clothing that they couldn’t make    7     ; shirts for the men; or clothes for the children. Life was simple then. One feels that people were   8      (thank) for what they had and that they looked  9      with courage to whatever the future brought. It would be interesting to know how they would feel about the life today. Would it seem to them that life is too complex? Would they enjoy   10    (live) a life as we do now?

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect 21       of Chinglish. Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal(照字面意思的) translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruined English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American 22         . I was too amazed to believe her. Her words could not convince me 23          . So I did a search on www.google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 24        “long time no see”. This sentence has been 25          used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.  26         , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

　　Nobody knows the 27         of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies.

Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting(引用) Confucius(孔子). “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world thanks to the popularity of these movies.
