Long time ago, people hadn't learned how to make fire, let alone cook food. People ate raw food and drank cold water. Everything they ate was raw, so people used to get sick and even die easily, and their life span was not long.
One day, the forest caught fire. After the fire was put out, people found beasts that were burnt by the fire. People found that the smell was good. They took a bite, and it was delicious, too. Hence, people learned that meat tastes better when cooked with fire. They also discovered that fire can bring light and drive away wild animals. With fire, the beasts wouldn't dare to get near people.
On a mountain, there grew a kind of tree called Suimu. In the Suimu woods, there lived a kind of bird with a long and hard beak(喙). This kind of bird liked to peck the wood with its beak. It pecked and pecked, and sometimes it could peck out sparks(火花). One day a man walked through the woods and saw the sparks. He thought "If birds can make sparks, can I do the same " He found a piece of Suimu wood and a hard branch, and struck the wood with the branch just like the bird did.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
How have cars changed A lot! Ever since the first cars were built, carmakers have been working to make them better. There have been a lot of changes. But there is still more to be done.
Drivers want cars that can go fast. But drivers also want cars that are safe. Many people need cars that are cheap — that do not cost a lot of money.
Right now, most cars run by burning gasoline, a fuel. When cars burn up gasoline, some dirt gets into the air. People hope that new cars will burn less gasoline to help us have cleaner air.
Inventors are working on ideas that could solve these problems. We are not sure which new cars will work the best. But here are some interesting ideas!
A Cleaner, Cheaper Car
There are already a lot of electric cars on the road. Someday, they may be great. But right now there are still some problems. Some electric cars run on gasoline part of the time. So they still dirty the air. Also, someday they might cost less, but now most electric cars cost a lot of money.
A ___73___ Car
Seat belts and airbags help keep you safe now. But some inventors think that cars would be safer if they drove themselves. They say that people make mistakes but that a self-driving car would not.
At least one company is getting ready to sell cars that drive themselves. The cars use special cameras and other tools to drive. But not everyone is ready to accept that a machine would be a better driver than a human.
Someday, there may even be self driving cars that can also fly and run on electricity. Now that could solve a lot of problems!
A Faster Car
Some inventors think that a flying car is a great idea. They say it would help people get places faster. If driving on the road is too slow, these cars will rise up in the air.
Imagine it! Zooming up above the traffic on the ground. So far, no one has made a flying car that really works on the road. But some inventors say that they should have flying cars to show very soon.
71.Why do people hope that new cars will burn less gasoline
___________________________________________________________________
72. What problems do electric cars still have
___________________________________________________________________
73. Fill in the blank with a proper word.
___________________________________________________________________
74. What can a flying car mainly do for people
