Have you ever seen a horse with toes (脚趾)? Millions of years ago, horses had many toes. They had four toes on each front foot. They had three toes on each back foot. The horses were smaller than cats. These small horses lived in the forest. Their many toes helped the horses run over the soft wet ground. It was very hot in the forest. But the weather changed. It became cold. Many trees couldn"t live in cold weather. The trees died and fell. Open field took the place of (代替) forests. The sun made the ground dry and hard (坚硬). Horses began to change too. They began to get bigger. This took a long time. On the dry hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time horses had only one hard toe on each foot. We call this hard toe a hoof (马蹄). | |||

F1 is a very fast car race. It is one of the most popular sports in the world. The drivers go at over 300 kilometers an hour every race. But F1 cars didn"t always go so fast. In 1895, the first F1 race began in France. During that race, it took the drivers 48 hours to finish 580 kilometers. In 1901, the best drivers had an average (平均) speed of 100 kilometers an hour. Modern grand prix (奖品) F1 racing began in 1950 in Britain. Grand prix is French. It means "large prize". Today, 12 teams and 24 drivers race to get points. There are races at different tracks (路线) all over the world from March to October every year. There are also F2 and F3 racing. But the cars are slower and less high-tech. During a F1 race, drivers have to make several stops to change tyres(轮胎) and put more petrol in their cars. A team of people do these tasks together to make the stops short. Some people lift the car up, others change the tyres. While this team works on the tyres, another person puts petrol in the car and a different person cleans the driver"s helmet. One more person talks to the driver about how to win. It"s amazing that all those people finish it in just a few seconds! During 100-meter races, people count the athletes" speed by 1/100th (0. 01) of a second, for example 10.81 seconds. In the world of car racing, however, the race has to be timed to 1/1,000th(0. 001) of a second. That is 50 times faster than the time for a blink (眨眼). F1 cars look very colorful. First, cars of different teams have different colors. Then there are a lot of advertisements on the cars. | |||

Letter A Dear Rose, I like your programmes very much. I"m now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I"m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I"m afraid of making mistakes. Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I"m thankful for their kindness? Wang Lin Letter B Dear Wang Lin, It"s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don"t get there early. If you"re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don"t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you. If you like the food, say so. Of course, you"ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It"s also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after. Rose | |||
