Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines Within four or five years, these young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory

of the questions Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period Question 15: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a A further understanding of prehistoric times B broader vision of prehistoric natural environments C deeper insight into the dry-land farming D further understanding of modem subsistence societies Question 16:

new species of wild animals in the home D making wild animals used to living with and working for humans Question 17: According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter-gatherers share A some restricted daily rules B some methods of production C some patterns of behaviour D only the way of duty division Question 18: The word “conditions” in the second paragraph refers to A the situations in which hunter-gatherers hardly find anything to eat B the places where plenty of animals and fish can be found C the situations in which hunter-gatherers can grow some crops D the environments where it is not favorable for vegetation to grow Question 19: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
