Reading
Comprehension (Seen)
1. Read the
text carefully and answer the following questions:
You read
history in books. But in old times, when men did not exist, surely no books
could have been written. How then can we find out what happened then? We cannot
merely sit down and imagine everything. This would be very interesting, for we
could imagine anything we wanted to and would thus make up the most beautiful
fairy tales. But this need not be true as it would not be based on any facts
that we had seen.
Although we
have no books written in those far-off days, fortunately we have some things
which tell us almost as much as a book would. We have rocks and mountains and
seas and stars and rivers and deserts and fossils of old animals. These and
other like things are our books for the earth’s early story. And the real way
to understand this story is not merely to read about it in other people’s books
but to go to the great Book of Nature itself. You will, I hope, soon begin to
learn how to read this story from the rocks and mountains. Imagine how
fascinating it is!
