correct answer to each of the questions
"Did you see that?" Joe said to his friend Bill "You're a great shooter!"
Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again The ball flew into the net
"Bill, you never miss!" Joe said admiringly
"Unless I'm in a real game," Bill complained "Then I miss all the time."
Joe knew that Bill was right Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd
"Maybe you just need to practice more," Joe suggested
"But I practice all the time with you!" Bill objected He shook his head "I just can't play well when people are watching me."
"You play well when I'm watching," Joe pointed out
"That's because I've known you since we were five years old," Bill said with a smile "I'm just not comfortable playing when other people are around."
Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice After a few minutes, Joe excused himself
"Practice without me," Joe said to his friend "I'll be back in a minute."
Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a math teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school's basketball court As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him
"Hey, Bill!" Joe called out finally
Bill turned A look of surprise came over his face
"I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you," Joe said "Now you'll have nothing to worry about for the next game!"

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news Rather, it is an ordinary event Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than
Trang 4300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task “They” did not limit
themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex
Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have
destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered
