C How to make a fire
导读：火是人们生活中必不可少的东西。人类最早是怎样生火的呢？读一读下面的短文,了解一下人类从古到今的生火方式。
Long long ago,people made fires from lightning. But they had to keep the fire burning,for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightning. Later,they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark. The spark could burn dry leaves. In this way they could make fire again if it went out.

Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick 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 from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper burn.

About two centuries ago,people began to make matches. Using matches is a quick and easy way to make fires. Today people still use matches,but they have more ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches,but it is very useful.
