grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them.that led to the concept of specialization，which means that people would specialize，or focus，on doing one specific job.lets take a man well call mr.fielder，for example.he did everything connected with farming.he planted seeds，tended the fields，and harvested and sold his crops.at the same time，he did many other jobs on the farm.however，he didnt make the bricks for his house，cut his trees into boards，make the plows(犁)，or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs.instead，he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.suppose there was another man we shall call mr.plowright.using what he knew about farming and working with iron，mr.plowright invented a plow that made farming easier.mr.plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows.perhaps，he thought，other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.how did mr.plowright let people know what he was doing？why，he advertised，of course.first he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers.that sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door.it was probably all the information people needed to find mr.plowright and his really good plows.many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago.even before most people could read，they understood such signs.shopkeepers would carve into stone，clay，or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.a medium，in advertising talk，is the way you communicate your message.you might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols.the second medium was audio，or sound，although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today.originally，just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument，such as a bell，were used to get peoples attention.a crier，in the historical sense，is not someone who weeps easily.it is someone，probably a man，with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city.in ancient egypt，shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products.often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods.perhaps the crier described the goods，explained where they came from，and praised their quality.his job was，in other words，not too different from a tv or radio commercial in todays world.21what probably led to the start of advertising?athe discovery of iron.bthe specialization of labor.cthe appearance of new jobs.dthe development of farming techniques.解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句和下文所举的两个例子可知：劳动的专业化导致广告业的开始。答案b22to advertise his

that is onethird the length of its body, and its beak actually has nostrils (鼻孔) at the end. the kiwi is the only bird with this feature. another unique feature of the kiwi is that it has no tail. it has thick brown hairlike feathers. this bird has many physical features unlike any other bird on earth.kiwi birds have been called a genetic leftover. their characteristics seem very odd to us probably due to the fact that they havent evolved much at all. they are suspected to be about 8 million years old. thats 7 million years older than humans. due to new zealands isolated environment, it has been safe from predators(食肉动物) and hasnt needed to do much adapting. they just hang around.with its long beak, the kiwi digs up and chows down on worms. a kiwi is almost blind; it can see about six feet at night and around two feet during the day，so when it comes to hunting the kiwi is not well equipped.it uses the nostrils on its beak to find its food and then picks up the worms with its beak.the kiwi bird is native of new zealand.it is the island countrys national bird, and is rare anywhere but here and a few pacific island neighbors. of course，it is available for viewing at certain zoos.it has stayed in its native land due to the facts that it is an isolated island and that kiwis cant fly.kiwi birds are extremely unique in the bird world. though they are the size of chickens, they lay eggs the size of ostrich eggs, weighing around a pound each.their enormous eggs are the largest in the bird world, compared to their bodies. these birds were named after their distinctive shrill cry “keewee keewee”26which of the
