• Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked A, B, C or D:
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 modern apartment houses Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods These buildings were 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”- corn, 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, walruses, and the 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 tips

'There are 142 steps to the top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.'
'When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.'

FOOD AROUND THE WORLD
It isn't amazing how much time we spend talking about food? "Have you ever eaten ?", "What you have for lunch?" and so on And yet, when you travel from one county to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food People often feel that what they eat is normal, and what other people eat is strange and silly In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice In England, people eat potatoes every day In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal Eating becomes a habit which is difficult to change Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee The English drink tea four or five times a day Australians drink large amounts of beer and the French drink wine every day
The sorts of meat people like to eat also differ from one country to another Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes New Zealanders eat sheep, but never eat goat meat The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is a little common sense in what we say about it People everywhere enjoy what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can to change our eating habit
