There would be few, if any, high-rise buildings because people would refuse to climb many stairs. By the time workers reached their offices on the top floors of a tower building, it would be time to go home if they were not too tired for the long walk down！The first lift that we know about was used by the Greek scientist, Archimedes, in about 230 BC. It was a simple place that could be pulled up and down with a rope. A lift like this was used much later in the 12th century by priests who lived on top of a mountain at Metereo in Greece. Because they were afraid of killers, the priests had not built any stairs up the mountain. The only way up was by lift, which priests worked from the top of the mountain.A few hundred years later, a Frenchman, Villayer, invented a flying chair which used a rope and a place. A number of rich people had these flying chairs built in their homes, including Queen Anne of England in Windsor Castle and Louis XVI of France at Versailles. Unluckily, Louis daughter was badly hurt when using one of the chairs, and Villayer ran away, afraid that he would be punished.The main problem for lift engineers was that either humans or animals were needed to pull the ropes. This problem was not worked out until the discovery of steam power. But even steam powered lifts were not always safe because they also used ropes which sometimes broke. If the rope broke - which it sometimes did - the lift fell to the ground and people in it were killed or hurt. This problem worked out in 1854 when an American, Elisha Otis, invented something which stopped the lift from falling if the rope broke. At first Otis lifts were used only in factories, then in 1857 he built one in a large New York store. Now lifts use electric power and are completely safe. They also travel very quickly. Some lifts travel faster than 60 kilometers an hour.13 .

But are they actually a good thing?Those people who are against zoos, would argue that animals often suffer（遭受痛苦）physically and mentally by being enclosed. Even the best man-made environments cant come close to matching the space, diversity（多样性）, and freedom that animals have in their natural homes. This causes many zoo animals to become sick. Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating with dolphinh family. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, ocean parks often force dolphins and whales to perform. These sea animals may die years earlier than their wild relatives.On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to save animals and their homes. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses, or pets which have been given up and no longer wanted. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness.One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding（繁衍）programs, especially for endangered species（物种）. In the wild, some of the species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding, and they might also be hurt or even killed by people. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a safe environment. In addition, as numbers of some wild species drop, there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically（基因上） similar. Breeding programs provide a safeguard: zoo-bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity.However, those people who are against zoos say that many zoo-bred animals are not put back into the wild. A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks in South Aften, these some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helpless animal. Often, where animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong.21 . According to Paragraph 2, some sea animals may die earlier than wild relatives because _.Athey were born in the ocean parkBthey dont have enough living spaceCthey are forced to behave unnaturallyDthey suffer from family separation22 .

Courage may make you confident of your success. If you have courage，you will not show fear in face of anything difficult or dangerous. With courage，you may look someone in the eye who you have wronged and say“I am sorry；you may still smile even if you are seriously ill and know you are at the end of your life. How can we build up our courage？Believe you will be successful. Take chances and know that you have your own talents. Besides，your family and friends are always there for you. Exercise your courage. It can be compared to a muscle（肌肉）. The more we use it，the stronger courage gets. Know that giving up is not a choice. Its much easier to give up，and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right，even when other people think you are wrong. Fight to control your fear. Courageous people may still be afraid，but the difference is that they can control their fear. They dont let it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they dont go on. Get courage by reading inspiring stories of brave people. Abraham Lincoln is one of the people who you may think of.64 . What is courage？（in no more than 13 words）_65 .
