The bank note was then useless for money but was his wedding gift to the young couple. Yes, the bank note was worth millions of dollars, but not worth
20、 on tenthe as much as how Henry felt about Portia .Unit 4How life began on the earthNo one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened so long ago. However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “ Big Bang “ that threw matter in all directions. After that, atoms bega
21、n to form and combing to create stars and other bodies.For several billion years after the “ Big Bang “, the earth was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe. The earthenware became so viole
22、nt that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in time to produce carbon, nitrogen , water vapour and other gases , which were to make the earths atmosphere. What is even more imprtant is that as the earth cooled down, water began to ap
23、pear on its surface.Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but, unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life. What many scientists believe is that the continued persence of water allowed the earth t
24、o dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxyg
25、en, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They were followed in time by land animals. Some were insects. Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as well as in the water. Later when the plants grew into
26、forests, reptiles appeared for the first time. They produced young generally by laying eggs. After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs too and existed on the earth for more than 140 million years. However, 65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. Why they
27、 suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery. This disappearance made possible thief rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they Gavin birth to young baby animals and prodeced milk to feed them.Finnally about 2.6 million years ago some sm
28、all celver animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they no they looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevenrs heat f
29、rom escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may bcome too hot to live on. So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.A visit to the moonLast month I was lucky engough to
