Tarzan has learnt some human language from Kala.（)

The previous section has shown how quickly a rhyme passes

from one school child to the next and illustrates the further difference 【B1】 ______

between school lore and nursery lore. In nursery lore a verse, learnt

in early childhood, is not usually passed on again when the little listener 【B2】 ______

has grown up, and has children of their own, or even grandchildren. 【B3】 ______

The period between learning a nursery rhyme and transmitting

it may be something from 20 to 70 years. With the playground 【B4】 ______

lore, therefore, a rhyme may be excitedly passed on within the very hour 【B5】 ______

it is learnt; and, in the general, it passes between children of the 【B6】 ______

same age, or nearly so, since it is uncommon for the difference in age

between playmates to be more than five years. If, therefore, a playground

rhyme can be shown to have been currently for a hundred years, or 【B7】 ______

even just for fifty, it follows that it has been retransmitted over

and over, very possibly it has passed along a chain of two or three 【B8】 ______

hundred young hearers and tellers, and the wonder is that it remains live 【B9】 ______

after so much handling, to let alone that it bears resemblance to the 【B10】 ______

original wording.

sert you. But if this has not been your good fortune, you tend to think of reading as a bore. A few, but very few, come to the habit late in life. The circumstances which help to set a child on the path to the literary adventure are: a life even barely above real poverty, so that there is cope in the family for thoughts and activities not wholly devoted to the struggle for making a living; the availability of free books either at home or in a public library; and the possession of a character both curious and independent.

In order to desire to read one must be curious. A few children are able to keep this curiosity and their mental independence alive despite the educational system of their country. But many fail to do so either because of an overstrict system where what is most important is memory work; or because of a careless and lazy one where even the basic disciplines of literacy are ignored in the sacred name of free expression.

Imagine this situation: you have bought a faulty item from a shop and you take （) back

to complain. You go directly to the shop assistant and tell them your problem. They say they cannot help you, () makes you angrier, to the point perhaps where you start insulting the poor shop assistant. RESULT: This will do you no (), like getting any compensation, or even a refund. If you go directly to the first person you see within the organization you are complaining about, you may be wasting your time () they may be powerless to take any action or provide you () a solution. So the important lesson to be learnt is to make sure firstly that you are speaking to the relevant person, the one who has the authority to make decisions.

men’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first ‘Tarzan’ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!

In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.

Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called "the weaker sex", or, if men want to please them, "the fair sex". But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers .And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women&39; s bodies really weaker？

The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women&39;s speeds are always slower than men&39; s, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first "Tarzan" in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later!
