For instance, they had not yet figured out why the sun rises. Ancient people saw death and disaster. However, they did not always understand what caused them. People developed stories to help make sense of the world. These tales were passed along through storytelling. Often, myths became part of peoples religion.Most myths try to answer questions: How was the world created? How did life begin? Why is there good and evil? Cultures everywhere came up with different ideas about how the world was formed. Some stories say an all-powerful god created it. One Polynesian myth tells about the god lo. This god formed the world out of water and darkness. Myths also explain the creation of human beings. One ancient story from India described a being called the Self. When the Self became lonely, it divided into two parts. It became a man and a woman. Their children became the human race. Many cultures also have myths about why sickness and disaster happen. For example, a famous Greek myth tells the story of Pandora. Out of curiosity, she opened a dangerous jar. Inside were sickness and other kinds of suffering. These evils were released into the world.Often cultures developed stories about groups of gods. The ancient Egyptians believed in many of these beings. It was said that some looked like human while others looked like animals. Anubis was the doglike god of the dead. Ra had a falcons head and was god of the sun. The ancient Greeks also worshiped many gods. They believed that a group of them lived on Mount Olympus. Zeus was always their king. The Greeks later wrote down their myths in poems and plays. they described the adventures of the gods and human heroes. These myths influenced Greek writing and thinking. The ancient Romans borrowed many Greek myths. They often gave (he Greek gods new names. For example, Zeus became Jupiter. The stories were turned into poetry, sculpture and other art forms. They continue to show up In our art today.Choose A for T and B for F.24 . Many people used ancient myths to explain events that had not been explained by science.25 .

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 the 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 dont.
