There are many African tribes but, for many people, the Masai are the most well-known They are famous for their bright red clothing and their ceremonies with lots of music and dancing Probably, one of the most

colorful ceremonies is the festival of "Eunoto," when the teenage boys of the Masai become men

Eunoto lasts for many days and Masai people travel across the region to get to a special place near the border between Kenya and Tanzania The teenage boys who travel with them are called "warriors." This is a traditional name from the past when young men fought with other tribes

At the beginning of the ceremony, the teenagers paint their bodies while their mothers start to build a place called the "Osingira," a sacred room in the middle of the celebrations Later, the senior elders from different

tribes will sit inside this place and, at different times, the boys go inside to meet them Later in the day, the

boys run around the Osingira, going faster and faster each time

The teenagers also have to alter their appearance at Eunoto Masai boys' hair is very long before the ritual but

they have to cut it off In Masai culture, hair is an important symbol For example, when a baby grows into an infant, the mother cuts the child's hair and gives the child a name At a Masai wedding, the hair of the bride is also cut off as she becomes a woman And so, at Eunoto, the teenage boy's mother cuts his hair off at sunrise

On the final day, the teenagers meet the senior elders one more time They get this advice: "Now you are men, use your heads and knowledge." Then, people start to travel back to their homes and lands The teenagers are

no longer warriors They are adult men and now they will get married and have children

Later in life, they will be the leaders of their communities

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Given the American manufacturing tradition, it was also inevitable that cars would

be produced in larger volume at lower prices than in Europe The absence of tariff barriers between the states encouraged sales over a wide geographic area Cheap raw materials and a chronic shortage of skilled labor early encouraged the mechanization of industrial processes in the United States

This in turn required the standardization of products and resulted in the volume production of such commodities as firearms, sewing machines, bicycles, and many other items In 1913, the United States produced some 485,000 of the world total of 606,124 motor vehicles

The Ford Motor Company greatly outpaced its competitors in reconciling state-of-the-art design with

moderate price Cycle and Automobile Trade Journal called the four-cylinder, fifteen-horsepower, $600 Ford

Model N (1906-1907) “the very first instance of a low-cost motor car driven by a gas engine having cylinders enough to give the shaft a turning impulse in each shaft turn which is well built and offered in large numbers." Deluged with orders, Ford installed improved production equipment and after 1906 was able to make deliveries

of a hundred cars a day

Encouraged by the success of the Model N, Henry Ford was determined to build an even better "car for the great multitude." The four-cylinder, twenty-horsepower Model T, first offered in October 1908, sold for $825

Its two-speed planetary transmission made it easy to drive, and features such as its detachable cylinder head

made it easy to repair Its high chassis was designed to clear the bumps in rural roads Vanadium steel made the Model T a lighter and tougher car, and new methods of casting parts (especially block casting of the engine) helped keep the price down Committed to large-volume production of the Model T, Ford innovated modern mass production techniques at his new Highland Park, Michigan, plant, which opened in 1910 (although he did not introduce the moving assembly line until 1913-1914) The Model T runabout sold for $575 in 1912, less than the average annual wage in the United States

By the time the Model T was withdrawn from production in 1927, its price had been reduced to $290 for

the coupe, 15 million units had been sold, and mass personal "automobility" had become a reality
