The spread of the manufacture of paper is an example of extensive diffusion by direct contact. The<br /> invention of paper is attributed to the Chinese Ts’ai Lun in A.D. 105. Within fifty years, paper was being made in many<br /> places in central China. By 264 it was found in Chinese Turkmenistan, and from then on the successive places of<br /> manufacture were Samarkand (751), Baghdad (793), Egypt (about 900), Morocco (about 1100), and France (1189). In<br /> general, the pattern of accepting the borrowed invention was the same everywhere. Paper was first imported into each<br /> area as a luxury, then in ever-expanding quantities as a staple product. Finally, usually within one to three centuries, local<br /> manufacture started.<br /> Diffusion by intermediate contact occurs through the agency of third parties. Frequently, traders carry a cultural<br /> trait from the society that originated it to another group. As an example of diffusion through intermediaries, Phoenician<br /> traders spread the alphabet, which may have been invented by another Semitic group, to Greece. At times, soldiers serve<br /> as intermediaries in spreading a culture trait. During the Middle Ages, European soldiers acted as intermediaries in two<br /> ways: they carried European culture to Arab societies of North Africa and brought Arab culture back to Europe. In the<br /> nineteenth century Western missionaries brought Western-style clothing to such places as Africa and the Pacific islands.<br /> <br /> Mã đề 878 trang 1/4<br /> <br /> In stimulus diffusion, knowledge of a trait belonging to another culture stimulates the invention or development<br /> of a local equivalent. A classic example of stimulus diffusion is the creation of the Cherokee syllabic writing system by a<br /> Native American named Sequoya. Sequoya got the idea from his contact with the English; yet he did not adopt the<br /> writing system nor did he even learn to write English.

A recent study offers some<br /> insights into this common disproportion in children’s illustrations. As part of the study, researchers asked children<br /> <br /> Mã đề 878 trang 2/4<br /> <br /> between 4 and 7 years old to make several drawings of men. When they drew front views of male figures, the size of the<br /> heads was markedly enlarged. However, when the children drew rear views of men, the size of the heads was not so<br /> exaggerated. The researchers suggested that children draw bigger heads when they know they must leave room for facial<br /> details. Therefore, the odd head size in children’s illustrations is a form of planning ahead and not an indication of a poor<br /> sense of scale.<br /> Câu 20: The main subject of the passage is_____________.<br /> A. what the results of an experiment revealed<br /> B.

With training, young children can be taught to avoid disproportion in their art.<br /> B. Children enlarge the size of the head because they think that it is the most important part of the body.<br /> C. Children under the age of 7 do not generally have a good sense of scale.<br /> D.
