They had three toes o n each back foot. The horses were smaller than cats. These small horses lived in the forest. Their many toes helped the horses run over the soft wet ground. It was very hot in the forest. But the weather changed. It became cold. Many trees couldn?t live in cold weather. The trees died and fell. Ope n field took the place of (代替) forest. The sun made the ground dry and hard (坚硬). Horses began to change too. They began to get bigger. This took a long time. On the dry hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time horses had only one hard toe on each foot. We call this hard toe a hoof (马蹄). 56. Long ago, the horse had four toes on each of its __________.

Christopher Columbus, whodiscovered America, saw the Indians smoking, and soon the dried leaves were transported(运输) to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turks (土耳其人)made cigarettes popular.Cigarettes smoke contains at least two harmful substances (物质), tar and nicotine,Tar, which forms as the tobacco bums, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing.Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes t he heart to beat faster and increases breathing rate (频率).Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that cigarettesmoking is the cause of lung cancers and several other deadly diseases.

People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have atest. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they gotno breakfast at all. Scientists (科学家) wanted to see how well their bodies worked whenthey had eaten different kinds of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not h elp you lose weight (减轻体重). This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight (增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals. 66. During the test, the people were given ________.

Pictures will be seen everywhere of the old man with long white beard, red coat, and bag of toys. Children are taught that he brings them presents the night before Christmas, and many children up to the age of 7 or 8 really believe this is true. In most countries, it is said that he lives near the North Pole, and arrives through the sky on a sledge (snow-cart) pulled by reindeer(驯鹿). He comes into houses down the chimney at midnight and places presents for the children in socks or bags by their beds or in front of the family Christmas tree.In shops or at children?s parties, someone will dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children, or ask them what gifts they want for Christmas. Christmas can be a time of magic and excitement for children.Father Christmas is based on a real person, St. Nicholas, which explains his other name “Santa Claus ” which comes from the Dutch “Sinterklaas ”. Nicholas was a Christian from Myra (in modern-day Turkey) in the 4th century AD. He was very shy, and wanted to give money to poor people without them knowing about it. It is said that one day, heclimbed the roof of a house and dropped a purse of money down the chimney. It landed inthe stocking which a girl had put to dry by the fire! This may explain the belief that FatherChristmas comes down the chimney and places gifts in children?s s tockings.71.
