The thousands of year before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indians entered North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. The migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.
When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, bake fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return, the whites introduced horses, guns, gunpowder, alcohol. But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only one result – war. When the wars were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now, some of them, embittered by past mistreatment, are determined to preserve there tribal life, some wish to modernize the reservations.

II. Read the passage then decide whether the following statements are True or False Two things that make humans different from all other animals are language and music. Language is used to communicate. People also use music to communicate – especially their emotion. Music can express ideas, thoughts, feelings, anger, love, hate or friendship. It can also convey one’s hopes and dreams.
Music is very much an integral part in our life. It is played during almost all important events and on special occasions and set the tone for them. It adds joyfulness to the atmosphere of a festival and makes a funeral more solemn and mournful. Music lulls babies to sleep at night and wake students up in the morning. Above all, music entertains. It makes people happy and excited. It delights the senses. In fact, music as entertainment has always been a big business. It is a billion-dollar industry. It is difficult to imagine what our lives would be without music.
1. Humans and other animals use the same language. 2. Only language is used to communicate. 3. People can express what they think, love, hope or dream of with music? 4. Music plays an important and necessary part in our lives. 5. Without music, a festival can be very joyful and exciting. 6. Music is both an entertainment and a business.

II. Read the passage then choose the best answers The history of the cinema began in the early 19th century. At that time, scientists discovered that when a sequence of still pictures were set in motion, they could give the feeling of movement. In the first two decades of its existence, the cinema developed rapidly. In those early days, films were little more than moving photographs, usually about one minute in length. By 1905, however, films were about five or ten minutes long. They used changes of scene and camera positions to tell a story, with actors playing
2. Films were about ten minutes long ________. B. by 1905
character parts. In the early 1910s, audiences were able to enjoy the first long films, but it was not until 1915 that the cinema really became an industry. From that time, film makers were prepared to make longer and better films and build special places where only films were shown. The cinema changed completely at the end of the 1920s. This was when sound was introduced. The change began in America and soon spread to the rest of the world. As the old silent films were replaced by spoken ones on the screen, a new cinema form appeared, the musical cinema. 1. In the first 2 decades of its existence, the cinema developed________ A. slowly D. strongly B. hardly C. fast
