Dollhouse History

In America, when people hear the term“dollhouse," they think of a small house for children to play with. However, there is much more to it. History tells us that dollhouses were first designed for adults and children of high social status. A dollhouse can delight both the adult and the child. Children and adults feel special when receiving or planning their fantasy house.

Dollhouses began in Europe in the 1600s when they were referred to as“Baby Houses." These houses were made up of several cupboards. In the cupboards, everyday objects created on a tiny scale were displayed (展示). The displays focused on the way people lived at that time. They showed detailed household (家庭)，routines with servants, and kitchen settings, etc. These were carefully designed, and only the upper class could afford to have them built,

As time went on, factories were built to make dollhouses. Germany was the leader of dollhouse makers before World War I. These houses were shipped throughout Central Europe and England, and even to America. Later, the folding dollhouse became popular. Around 1894, an American company produced dollhouses that had four rooms. Children could share such dollhouses when they were playing games. During World War I, Germany needed their resources to fuel the war. As a result, other countries began to make more dollhouses.

After World War II, dollhouses produced in the US were usually made of plastic and metal. In the 1970s, people became interested in wooden dollhouses again. Besides children, today's dollhouses are also designed for the adult collectors.

The People of the Rain Forests

➊There are two groups of people who live in the rain forests of Africa- Bantu villagers and Pygmy hunters. The two groups have very different ways of life. But they have learned to survive in the rain forest by depending on each other.

❷The Pygmies live as hunters in the rain forest. They live in large groups of families and hunt with nets. The men go to an area where they know there are animals. They hold up nets and the women and children spread out and drive the animals into the nets.

❸Hunting is a full-time job for the Pygmies, so they cannot always stay in villages. But over the years, the Pygmies have learned to enjoy some of the luxuries (奢侈品) of village life. Their forest foods of meat, fruit, and nuts are enough for them. But they also enjoy some village foods—like rice, beans,peanuts and vegetables. They also need some metal tools that are made by the villagers.

❹The villagers are Bantus. They stay in the clearings (空地) in the rain forests. The Bantus cannot keep cattle in the rain forest. There is not enough room for the cattle to feed, So the Bantus are given meat by the Pygmies. To the Bantus the rain forest is a dangerous place. But to the Pygmies it is familiar. So the Pygmies fetch firewood and guard the village fields from wild animals.

❺The Bantus must work very hard to clear their fields. Once they are cleared, the villagers must fight continually to keep the rain forest from taking over again. The soil of the rain forest is so poor that the farm crops soon wear it out. Then the villagers must give the land back to the forest after a few years' farming and clear more.

Horses

Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite animal is, I always say,“Horses." I like almost all animals.  26  I don't have a horse of my own. Horses are very expensive.   27  You have to pay for their food, equipment, insurance, and health care, for example. If you live on a farm or other big piece of land, you can keep your horse there. But if you don't have a place that's big enough for a horse, you have to pay to keep it somewhere else.

  28  I go there on the weekends sometimes and watch the trainers exercising the horses. All of the horses need a lot of exercises in order to stay healthy, no matter what kind of riding they are used for. Most of the horses are used for trail (小径) riding, which I think is the easiest and the most fun. It's nice to go out into the woods or along the beach with a horse.

One reason I really like horses is that they have as much personality as people do. They can't talk, but they can tell you what they are feeling with their body language.   29  

Maybe, when I get a little older, I could get a job at the stable.  30   I'm trying to learn as much about horses as I can now, so that I'll be really qualified(有资格的). I would love to have a job like that.

A. There I could be around horses all the time.

B. We're very lucky to live near a horse stable.

C. It's very expensive to buy one and to own one.

D. But horses have always been my very favorite animals.

E. My favorite horse“Vrana”is older than a lot of other horses.

F. For example, a horse is happy if its ears are forward and its tail is relaxed.

People Watchers

Some of them study the people of  43  (differ) cultures to learn their ways of doing things. They often live with the people of the culture they are  44  (study).
