Years ago, I lived in a building in a town. There was another building across from mine, and it was only a few metres away. There lived a woman whom I had never met. I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, drinking or reading.
Several months later, I noticed her window was very dirty. Everything was not clear through the window. I wondered why the woman didn't wash her window.
One sunny morning, I decided to clean up my apartment, including washing my windows. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down for a rest by the window. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen! Her window was clean! Suddenly, I realized I had made a mistake. I was watching her through my dirty window all the time!
That was quite an important lesson for me. Since then, whenever I wanted to judge （判断） someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through the dirty window of my heart? ”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world clearly.The writer lived in _______years ago.

Have you ever seen a horse with toes？Millions of years ago，horses had many toes．They had four toes on each front foot．They had three toes on each back foot．The horses were no bigger than the cats．These small horses lived in the forest．The toes helped the horses run on the soft，wet ground．
At first，it was very hot in the forest．But the weather changed．It became very cold．Many trees could not live in cold weather．The trees died and fell．Open fields took the place of forests．The sun made the ground dry and hard．
