Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use. This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today. As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart- shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems.

HAPPY HOURS Happy hours are not necessarily happy nor do they last for an hour, but they have become a part of ritual of the office worker and businessman. On weekdays in pubs and bars throughout America, there is the late afternoon happy hour. The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven. After the workday is finished, office workers in larger cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and do not go directly home to the hearth. They head off instead for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, coworkers and colleges. Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessman and secretaries, payroll clerks and stock executives. They gather around the bar like birds around fountain or forest animals around a watering hole and gossip about the intrigues of office life or matters more personal. This is their oasis; the place to unwind from the day’s stress at the office. At these happy hours, social binding occurs between people who share the same workplace or similar professions. They may gossip about each other or talk about a planned project that has yet to meet a headline. In this sense, these places become extensions of the workplace and may constitute a good portion of one’s social life. These happy hours are those late afternoon chances to unwind after work and relax before returning home. Conversations which may begin quietly and with the reserve, rise gradually from a chatter to roar. The oasis quickly fills up with smoke. Coarse laughter may cackle in the air as a way to diffuse the tensions of the day. The festive mood, heightened by the feeling of relief, competes with a TV broadcasting the latest update of CNN evening news or a sports game already in progress. The price of drinks at this time are most often reduced. They are usually half – priced, and some pubs even offer d’oeuvres which are placed on the counter for complementary picking. Cheaper places may only served popcorn, potato chips and cheese with crackers. Places of higher quality and favored by richer clientele may go so far as to present a smorgasbord of Swedish meatballs, chicken wings, miniature franks and deviled eggs. When a happy hour draws to an end, the crow quietly disperses in dribs and drabs like a Diaspora in a biblical desert going off to domestic land of milk and honey. When it is finally over, the cost of the drinks goes up Câu 56: How long are happy hours? A. They last as long as there are customers. B. Not exactly an hour but maybe a little bit longer. C.
