IV. Reading Comprehension

Primitive man was probably more concerned with fire as a score of warmth and as a
means of cooking food than as a source of light. Before he discovered less laborious
ways of making fire, he had to preserve it, and whenever he went on a journey he
carried a firebrand with him. His discovery that the firebrand, from which the torch
may very well have developed, could be used for illumination was probably
incidental to the primary purpose of preserving a flame.
Lamps, too, probably developed by accident, Early man may have had his first
conception of a lamp while watching a twig of fibre burning in the molten fat
dropped from a roasting carcass. All he had to do was to fashion a vessel to contain
fat and float a lighted reed in it. Such lamps, which were made of hollowed stones or
sea shells, have persisted in identical form up to quite recent times.
