The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements were many. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work easier and more productive.

In ancient Mexico there were many clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of different crops around it. The Maya cut down trees with stone axes and planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced food for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were cloth makers, builders, or priests. The Maya believed in many gods. The people built large temples to honor their gods. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult to construct these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone needed. Workers had to carry the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing. Measuring time was important to the Maya, so they developed a system for measuring it accurately. Farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops. Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time. They wrote numbers as dots (...) and bars (- ). A dot was one and a bar was five. The Mayan priests studied planets. They made a calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into. 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time. Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why. They may have died from an infectious disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Archaeologists are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya. They are still one of our greatest mysteries. This article may be taken from ______. A．a magazine B．a literature book C．an art book D．a historical book

Artis considered by many people to be little more than a decorative means ofgiving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may beseen to have purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have amedicinal as well as an artistic purpose.

According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental orphysical illness has in some way disturbed or come in contact with thesupernatural—perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To counteract thisevil contact, the sick person or one of his relatives will attract a powerfulsupernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2to 9days, the“singer” will produce a sand painting on the floor of the Navaho house. On thelast day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sand painting and the“singer” will rub the sick parts of the patient’s body with sand from aspecific figure in the sand painting. In this way the patient absorbs the powerof that particular supernatural being and becomes strong like it. After theceremony, the sand painting is then destroyed and disposed of so its power willnot harm anyone. Theart of sand painting is handed down from old “singers” to their students. Thematerials used are easily found in the areas the Navaho inhabit: brown, red,yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground into powder by being crushedbetween two stones much as corn is ground into flour. The “singer” holds asmall amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his thumb andforefinger onto a clean, flat surface on the floor. With a steady hand andgreat patience, he is thus able to create designs of people, snakes and othercreatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. 26. The word “decorative” in Paragraph 1most probably refers to ___. A).functional B).medicinal C).artistic D).pure 27.According to the Navaho traditions,one is ill because he has met with _____. A).something with supernatural powers B).a dead goat C).any animal D).too many dead people 28. How can a sick person recover fromhis illness according to the passage？ A).He must avoid the evil contact. B).He needs help from another powerful supernatural being. C).He must draw a sand painting. D).He must sing at a ceremony. 29. The reason for the sand painting tobe destroyed after the ceremony is _____. A).not to allow others to use it freely B).to harm the patient C).not to harm others D).to protect the patient 30.Which of the following is TRUE of the designs of people, snakes and othercreatures created by the “singer” ？ A).They are sand paintings.
