As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe — sun-baked brick plastered with mud Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment houses Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods These buildingswere usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against
enemies They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized
since they called them “pueblos,” which is Spanish for towns
The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters” — corns, beans, and squash.They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain
The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such
as rabbits and snakes In the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walnises, andthe great whales They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tipis

The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland He came to London intending to study law, but went to art school instead There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting
In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art, and became interested in early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be He says, 'It's a secret - because I don't know myself I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top.' Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy 'Anyone can do the colours - you can buy them I simply notice what you put the colours next to.'
Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did,
he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them 'If I feel they're worried and want to look
at the painting, I can't do it.'
Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene He says
he is not interested in following any tradition, but just paints the way he can However, his work still influences young British painters
What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison’s work?

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe — sun-baked brick plastered with mud Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment houses Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods These buildingswere usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against
enemies They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized
since they called them “pueblos,” which is Spanish for towns
The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters” — corns, beans, and squash.They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain
The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such
as rabbits and snakes In the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walnises, andthe great whales They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tipis

Rock Band
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise ‘It’s better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,’ Ben argued, ‘and it’ll keep me out of trouble.’
In the end we gave in ‘All right,’ we said, ‘but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbourswhen you play.’
That was just the beginning Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport, the other members
of Ben’s band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing
At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising, my husband and I
go out for a long walk And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men I cannot judge their musical skill - after all I didn’t expect my parents’ generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager - but they do play regularly in local clubs for young people
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet I am always stressing to Ben how important his studies are But one thing is certain - Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored
Why do the band always practise at Ben’s house?

ancestors knew about plant, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient This is logical Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for
clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized
as a special branch of “knowledge” at all
Trang 31Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows Yet everyone comes
unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to
recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild — and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away

rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort They have also suggested thatthe very concept of abstract numbers — the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table — is itself far from innate

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age
Trang 37ancestors knew about plant, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient This is logical Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for
clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized
as a special branch of “knowledge” at all
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows Yet everyone comes
unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to
recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild — and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away
According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?

Dogs are either optimists or pessimists, claim scientists
Scientists have confirmed what many pet owners have long suspected: some dogs have a more gloomy outlook on life than others The unusual insight into canine psychology emerged from a study by Bristol University researchers into how dogs behave when separated from their owners Dogs that were generally calm when left alone were also found to have a “dog bowl half full” attitude to life, while those that barked, relieved themselves and destroyed furniture appeared to
be more pessimistic, the study concluded
Trang 38Michael Mendl, head of animal welfare and behaviour at the university, said the more anxiously adog behaved on being parted from its owner, the more gloomy its outlook appeared to be The findings suggest that the trouble caused by some dogs when they are left alone may reflect deeper emotional problems that could be treated with behavioural therapy.
“Owners vary in how they perceive this kind of anxious behaviour in dogs Some are very
concerned, some relinquish the dog to a refuge, but others think the dog is happy or even being intentionally spiteful,” said Mendl “At least some of these dogs may have emotional issues and
we would encourage owners to talk to their vets about potential treatments,” he added Of the tenmillion pet dogs in the UK, around half may show separation anxiety at some stage, the
researchers said
Mendl’s team studied 24 animals at two dog homes in the UK Half of the dogs were male and they were various breeds, including Staffordshire bull terriers, golden retrievers and collies They ranged from nine months to nine years old Researchers began the study by going to a room witheach dog in turn and playing for 20 minutes They returned the next day, but this time left the dogalone for five minutes, during which the scientists recorded the animal’s behaviour with a video camera The footage was used to give each dog an anxiety score
A day or two later, the dogs were trained to walk over to a food bowl that was full when placed at one end of a room and empty when placed at the other When the dogs had learned the
difference, the scientists tested the animals’ underlying mood by placing bowls in ambiguous positions – in the middle of the room, for example – and noting how quickly each dog went to the bowl
The dogs that had been most anxious in the earlier test were slowest to approach food bowls placed in or near the middle of the room, suggesting they expected to find the bowl empty The less anxious dogs ran to the food bowls, implying they were more optimistic, according to a report in Current Biology
“We know that people’s emotional states affect their judgements and that happy people are morelikely to judge an ambiguous situation positively,” Mendl said “What our study has shown is that this applies similarly to dogs – that a glass-half-full dog is less likely to be anxious when left alonethan one with a more pessimistic nature.” Samantha Gaines, deputy head of the companion animals department at the RSPCA, said: “Some dogs may be more prone to develop these behaviours and should be re-homed with appropriate owners.”
