There seems never1.a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown．They probably came about just to give children something to do．
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with2.．In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls 3.(prepare), even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world．
4.is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but 5.they have remained the same．The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology．It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the word and their persistence to the present 6.is amazing．In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的)people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared．Variations depended on local customs and way of life 7. toys imitate their surrounding．Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles．
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps 8. characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步)．The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓)used by a baby in 3000BC to 9.used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject 10.the limitations of available materials.

Rules You Must Follow When Travelling with Friends
Traveling with friends can be an amazing experience. Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible.
Include at least one activity for everyone
Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that's not always the case. 1.. Have each person categorize activities/sights/etc into "must-see", “want to see" and “would go if we have time'', and plan accordingly, making sure everyone gets to see at least some of their top attractions.
Be honest about personal requirements and preferences
2.. Some like getting the bed closest to the bathroom, and others prefer sitting in the airplane's window seat. To deal with this, have a conversation about everything from allergies and hygiene (卫生) to consideration of time and space.
3..
When traveling with a group, you may want some alone time. 4.. Communicating your whereabouts (行踪) saves your travel companions from having to play detective in the event no one can find you.
Swallow your pride
Traveling brings out the good, the bad, and the ugly in all of us, so there are some tense moments every now and then. 5.. It's better to apologize quickly and most importantly, forgive and forget.
A.Don't disappear
B.Don't play detective when traveling
C.Everyone has personal preferences when traveling
D.Everyone should be able to have a particular time
E.That's fine, but make sure your friends know where you are
F.To keep everyone happy, go over travel plans ahead of time
G.When this happens, we've just got to learn to bite our tongue
