Thousands of years ago， people had to hunt for food． They lived in caves and needed fire to keep warm．（1）　　．

    We don't know why they drew the pictures． They had to go deep into the cave to do it ， so they must have had a plan． They probably took a fire made of fat with them．（2）　　． Others think the spears（长矛） in the pictures mean they were teaching other people to hunt．

    For paint，they mixed animal fat with some different things such as dirt or berries（浆果）．（3）　　Some of the drawings are colorful and others are black from the burned end of a stick．

    These people drew what they saw around them﹣animals such as buffalo， deer， horse， and sometimes birds and fish（4）　　．

    The pictures are quite good． The buffalo look strong and powerful． Many of the horses and deer look beautiful．

    These drawings have been found in more than 130 caves ﹣﹣﹣﹣mostly in England and France（5）　　． It is interesting to look at such old drawings．

A． They drew people ， but no very often． B． Maybe there are more that we haven't found yet． C． Some of them drew pictures on the walls of their caves． D． They used sticks to brush the paint onto walls on the cave． E． Maybe they drew the pictures to bring good luck when they hunted．
