BOne day, Mr Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of human being to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads(游牧民); they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作) the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to finish, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up：“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, wh y are we nomads all over again, Mr Arnold？”Mr Arnold didn't know what to say. Lucy was a very clever girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?“We have all become noma ds again，” continued Lucy. “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It's the same with everyone: when there's no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That's what the nomads did, isn't it？”The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right. Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. Andthen off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show to be more civilized(文明的)．The next day everyone attended class wearing a green Ts hirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad！”And, from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control.语篇导读本文为记叙文，通过Mr Arnold课堂上Lucy说的话告诉我们要节约使用资源和能源，不要做现代的游牧民族。
