EX8:Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers

Native Americans have been living in what is now the United States of America since long before any Europeans came. They are not just a single group of people – there are many different tribes of Native Americans. Different Native American groups have different languages, religious believes, and ways of living, or folkways.

The Hopi are Native Americans who come from what is now the American Southwest. When the Spanish came to America in the 16^th century and found the Hopi people, they nickname them ”pueblo people” because Hopi people didn’t move around much – they lived together in what amounted to towns. Pueblo is a Spanish word that means ”town”. The Hopi have always been a very peaceful people. Their name comes from the term Hopituh Shi-numu, which means, in the Hopi language, ”The Peaceful People” or “Peaceful Little Ones”. The Navajo come from the same general area as the Hopi. But instead of staying in one place, they moved around. They didn’t live in permanent towns like the Hopi. They were a “semi-nomadic” people. While the Hopi were historically known for farming, the Navajo were known for hunting and gathering. After they met the Spanish, the Navajo became known for herding sheep. The Hopi, not so much. Today, there may not be as many thriving Native American tribes as there used to be, but there are more than a few. All in all, there are about 1000 different groups of Native American people in the United States, and each group is unique.

3. Which of the following is NOT true about the Hopi?

EX10: Read the passage carefully and do the tasks:

New Zealand is located in the south – east Pacific Ocean, 1,600 kilometres south – east of Australia. It consists of two main islands called the North Island and the South Island and a number of small islands. The Maori – Polynesian race – were the first people who settled in New Zealand in 1642. Over a hundred year later, in 1769, Captain James Cook who belonged to the British Royal Navy discovered Fiordland in the South of New Zealand. Then came the navigators, sealers, whalers, explorers and miners. From 1840, New Zealand was a British Colony. It became an independent nation in 1947.

New Zealand is as large as the United Kingdom or Japan, but it has a much smaller population, only about 4.9 million. Most people live on the North Island where there are two biggest cities: Wellington, the Capital City and Auckland, the biggest City in terms of population. New Zealand is a beautiful country of snow – capped mountains, beaches and waterfalls. It’s also famous for its large population of sheep. There are about 45 million sheep living in farms all over the country. New Zealand has many special birds. The best known is the kiwi. This lightless bird is the national emblem of New Zealand. New Zealanders call themselves ”kiwis”; it’s their nicknames!

Task A: Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F)

1. New Zealand is an island country in the Pacific Ocean

2. New Zealand was first discovered by James Cook in 1642

3. New Zealand used to be part of the United Kingdom

4. The alternative name for a New Zealander, Kiwi, is named after a fruit

5. The Capital of New Zealand also has the highest population
