1. The totem pole
ppl in that northwest area along the pacific coast live on fishing, hunting, so they don’t have to cultivate food or feed animal. After metal tools were introduced to the area through fur trade, spruce and cedar trees are used to make totem poles. They are made of the whole tree, 90 fts tall (27.4m). The society was balanced by requiring each man and woman to marry sb out of their clan. So there is no one predominating family. The pics sculpted on the totem poles are family inherited signs. They are made in artistic tradition, not related to spiritual. Totem poles are first used for funerary function, but latter on they were put outside the leaders’ house as exterior decoration. All the totem poles are bilateral symmetrical and all the animals on the pic are looking upwards (or upward related).
QUESTIONS:
a) Which is right about the way they make a living? – don’t have to cultivate
b) Which explains why they make social balance? – marry outside their clan
c) What was the original use of totem pole? – memorize died ppl
d) What are the characteristics of the totem pole pics? – bilateral symmetrical, integrated as whole, & upward oriented
2. Sugar purifying. * .The process of purifying sugar is cut the cane, squeeze to get the juice, let it settle for months and the molasses will reach the bottom. The better the machine is, the lighter the color of the sugar is. But now some chiefs use brown sugar in baking and some other recipes, so manufactures add the molasses back to sell it. After the Civil War, the technology of sugar producing was improved. The product is almost identical, and customers see no major reasons to choose one from another. Many of the firms are not profitable, but they still keep on doing business because: one, they are expecting the demand to grow; two, it incurs more financial damage to close down the business than to sell it at discount.
QUESTIONS:
a)  ut this sentence in the right spot: “the process of making sugar is simple but time consuming.” – I put it at *
b) Why are the businesses not closing down? – expecting for growth in market needs, and because closing down costs more losses.

When the sunshine is too strong and harmful, a substance will grow from the bottom of its eyes to the top to form a pair of “sunglasses” to protect the eyes from harmfulness. S can sense the movement of ppl because it’s sensitive to the shakes passed by the sands. S can also sense the airborne movements, but with its hair at the end of legs.

a) Which is correct about the eyes of S? – its eyes are not as developed as its ancestors’’
b) Which is correct about S? – when S find you, it will raise its tail to show defending status.
