These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.People began to live near one another, so the first village was established (建立). Many people came to live in the villages, and these villages became even larger.When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.Today, its strange that some people are moving back to small villages.

I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, thats nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But arent you too young?”“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied, “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him Ive arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Dont worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first.
