听力原文： Many a grown man can remember with pleasure the cool refreshment that came to him as a five-year old when he ran to his mother after playing on a hot afternoon and she fanned his perspiring face for a moment with her fan. If it was a folding lace fan it may have had a drop of sweet-smelling perfume in it to make the breeze sweet to a child.
Today, air-conditioning and electric motors have made us forget fans. In these days it often seems, too, that we have no time to sit and fan ourselves—and that's our great loss.
And yet you may be surprised to know that fans have not yet disappeared from the science. A good many are still made in France, which has always been a great home of the fan, and in the Orient, and quite a few even in busy, bustling America. You might never expect to see a fan today in a great, rushing city, and yet a few are still sold in New York and other great cities.
Today in Fifth Avenue's smart shops you may buy a severe little fan for a lady for $ 3, or a fine French "Louis ⅩⅣ" fan, with pictures of the king's countries, and the price？... $ 25.
Fans are still used here and there by people who find time to sit on porches, and they're used, too, at concerts and in church—and at dances. Today, however, they're finding a new use they never had before; once a year an interior decorator from St. Paul, Minnesota, journeys 1,100 miles to New York City to buy fans which she then frames as "shadow-boxes" and uses as decorations in smart homes.
Though no one knows where fans came from, researchers say that primitive men in all countries seem to have used them. Chances are that the first fan may have been a branch with leaves to whisk flies away from food, or a palm leaf used to fan up a fire in smouldering wood.
The word comes from Latin vannus: a Roman instrument for winnowing grain. The Bible says (Isaiah, 30:24): "The oxen.., shall eat clean provender which hath been winnowed with the shovel and the fan." This fan, or vannus, was a basket of special shape for tossing grain high into the air so the breeze could blow away the chaff. On hot days, farmers no doubt found they could cool each other by fanning with the vannus.
But fans have a very ancient history as the Chinese had fans in 2699 B. C. , if not long before. The Assyrians, 3,000 years ago, hung fans from the ceiling and, when they were pulled by ropes, they gave "enough wind to wreck a ship". In early Egypt, fans were widely used by kings and became a symbol of authority.
The strange thing about fans is: they are talkative. Since early times, man has used fans to say things. What can you say with a fan？ Until fifty years ago, Japanese generals when giving an order to attack, threw fans in the air as high as possible where, whirling over and over, the fans inspired men to fight.
Laborers in the Far East for hundreds of years used fans to cool themselves while working. Soldiers fanned themselves while under attack. Laborers and soldiers alike learned to greet each other pleasantly by a "nod" of their fans.

根据下面内容，回答题：
Many of the problems we face today are not so new as we think they are. And some of our modern solutions are not so new， either. The problem of energy shortages and the solution of using solar energy go back at least to early Greek cultures. The climate in the coastal areas of Greece 2，500 years ago was characterized by cool winters， much as it is today. At that time， the Greeks heated their homes with small， charcoal-burning heaters. In other words， wood （which is used to make charcoal） was their primary source of energy.However， by the fifth century BC fuel shortages had become common because， in many parts of Greece， the firewood in the forests had been depleted. Once the supply of firewood from the local forests ran out， people began to use the wood from olive groves as fuel. But this solution had its own problem. It reduced the olive crop， a valuable resource to the Greeks. By the fourth century BC， the city of Athens banned the use of olive wood for fuel. Wood had to be imported from farther and farther away， making it more difficult to obtain and more expensive to use. About this time the Greeks began to build their houses facing south， so that the low sun in winter could penetrate and help heat the interiors. Excavations of ancient Greek cities suggest that large areas were planned so that individual homes could take maximum advantage of passive solar energy.
