The spark could fire dry leaves（树叶）. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing（摩擦）. They made a hole on a big piece of wood（木头）and put a smaller stick（树枝）into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat （热）from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries（世纪）ago, people began to make matches（火柴）. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric（电子）fire starter.

Then I told him again and again, the first answer is “elephants and bears”, the second answer is “my father and my brother”and the third answer is “bread and milk”. Then he retold(复述)the questions and answers. At last I asked the three questions again. He could give the right answers:1. elephants and bears, 2.my father and brother, 3.bread and milk. I was very happy.When we got home, I told my parents that my brother could answer my questions correctly （正确地）.

But they had to keep the fires burning（燃烧）, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone (石头) together could make a spark（火花）. The spark could fire dry leaves（树叶）. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing（摩擦）. They made a hole on a big piece of wood（木头）and put a smaller stick（树枝）into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat （热）from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries（世纪）ago, people began to make matches（火柴）. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric（电子）fire starter.
