The First Emperor’sTerracotta Army

When workers were digging a well outside the city of Xi’an, China, in 1974, they made one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the world. (1) The workers told the Chinese authorities and archaeologists came to the site where they found thousands more soldiers.

The soldiers are in underground corridors. They are similar to each other, but each one has a slightly different appearance and character. (2) This terracotta army was constructed to travel with the First Emperor of China into the afterlife, according to the archaeologists.

At the age of 13, in 246 BC , Ying Zheng became emperorof the states of what we now know as China. (3) With these states he created the empire of Qin. During his rule, Ying Zheng standardised coins, weights and measures.(4) He also authorised the building of the Great Wall of China.

Relatively early, he began planning his tomb and the terracotta army which he needed for the afterlife. Archaeologists have studied four areas around the tomb, but they haven’t started digging where Ying Zheng is probably buried. (5) It says the tomb has models of palaces made from precious stones and metals such as bronze.

Module 4 4 D

My favourite dayA

Before the actual day, there are lots of preparations to do. First of all, you need to invite all the people you would like to attend. Believe it or not, but many people travel hundreds of miles from other states to see their nearest and dearest! The other really important part of the holiday is the meal and turkey is a must on every American table! Can you believe that about 45 million are eaten in America on this day?

B

If you ask people ‘what’s your favourite day’?, you’ll probably get several different answers. Christmas, the first day of spring, the last day of school, and many others. Have YOU ever thought what is your special day of the year? What makes it so unique?

C

It’s always exciting to see the whole family as they arrive. After an enormous meal the atmosphere is usually very relaxed, with older members of the family just chatting and the kids playing. What makes this day so unique is that it is a genuine family celebration so no one expects presents or gifts. And … after Thanksgiving Day the whole country starts preparing for Christmas.

D

My favourite day is Thanksgiving Day, on the fourth Thursday in November. This holiday has its roots in history as every year we want to remember some of the first people to arrive in North America four hundred years ago. Their first year was very difficult so at the end of 12 months they gave thanks to God. Nowadays families still get together and give thanks for all the blessings they have received. It’s also a chance to see relatives or old friends you haven’t seen for a while.

Grammar 1 What would you say in the following situations?

Make sure you use modal verbs.

1 You are sure Sarah is pregnant.

2 You think it is possible your friend has read all the books by Charles Dickens.

3 You are sure Mark didn’t quit his job.

4 You know Tara was forced to sell her jewellery.

5 You think it’s possible that your friends bought tickets for your favourite band’s concert.

6 You know the person you are talking to is your new neighbour.

7 You want to know if Sally was able to read and write when she was four.

8 You want to tell your sister it was silly of her to getso stressed before the exam as she did really well.

2 Put the following adjectives in the correct order.

1 Susan brought a blue / round / Spanish plate.

2 The most incredible present I got for my birthday was a French / canvas / nice bag.

3 Have you seen Tom’s new girlfriend?She is a pretty / young / slim lady.

4 My brother brought me a cotton / yellow T-shirt when he was on his holiday in Hawaii.

5 We have to throw away the red / old carpet from the hall.

6 A huge / wonderful sculpture made the biggest impression on me.

7 I am dreaming of a(n) silk / Italian scarf.

8 Sally has a Polish / handsome boyfriend. He is very polite to all her friends.

9 I was so terrified! Suddenly I saw a(n) grey / enormous shape on the wall!

10 My daughter wants to take a brown / young dog from the shelter.

Vocabulary 3 Circle the correct answer.

1 If you do not want to queue / stand for a ticket you may buy one online.

2 If you want to see contemporary / old masters works of art you should visit / watch the Tate Modern in London.

3 Modern art can be awful / astonishing but on the other / another hand it sometimes makes you think.

1

In 2008 a battered piece of paper was pulled from the ruins of an ancient Spanish colonial church. It turned out to be a 400-year-old letter that had been penned by an unknown Spanish author and lost for four centuries. Notes on the back of it have revealed a previously unknown language that was once spoken by the indigenous peoplesof northern Peru. But scientists have only recently revealed the importance of these words.

2

The early 17th-century author had translated the Spanish numbers – uno, dos, tres – and Arabic numerals into a mysterious language never seen by modern scholars. ‘Even though the letter doesn’t tell us much, it does tell us about a language that is very different from anything we’ve ever known – and it suggests that there may be a lot more languages out there,’ said project leader Jeffrey Quilter, an archaeologist at Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology.

3

The new-found native language may have borrowed from Quechua, a language still spoken by the indigenous peoples of Peru. However, it was clearly a unique tongue, and possibly either Quingnam or Pescadora – ‘the language of the fishers.’ The writings also include translated numbers, which tell us that the lost language’s numerical system was a ten-based or decimal system – like English. This was not the case with all native American cultures. While the Inca used a ten-based system, many other cultures did not: the Maya, for example, used a base of 20, according to Quilter.

4

Finding the new language at Magdalena de Cao Viejo helps to reinforce our knowledge of the rich diversity of cultures in the early colonial Americas. We often think of a confrontation between the Spanish and Native Americans, but in almost every place, from Massachusetts to Peru, was more diversity than we may imagine. For example, colonialists from many parts of Europe were referred to as ‘the Spanish’ by the Native Americans, and in the Americas there were people who spoke many different languages and had different customs. The letter helps to show how rich and diverse that world was.

4 Przeczytaj tekst, który został podzielony na trzy części (A–C), oraz pytania ich dotyczące (1–4).Do każdego pytania dopasuj właściwą część tekstu. Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli. Uwaga: jedna część tekstu pasuje do dwóch pytań.

A Fancy a dish of poisonous fugu fish? How about sheep’s

heads and rotting shark? All of these foods are delicacies on menus around the world. In fact, what’s good or bad is all a matter of taste. Food taboos and delicacies often arise from cultural and religious beliefs; one person’s meat is another’s poison. The humble hamburger, a mainstay of US cuisine, is a forbidden food for Hindus. Pork is also off the menu for many Jews and Muslims. More than 1,400 species of protein-packed insects are part of African, Asian, Australian and Latin American cuisine, but one would be hard-pressed to find these creepy crawlies in a US restaurant (at least in the menu).

B ‘Food is often a taboo or a subject triggering disgust

because it is internalised. Any disgust we have for the food is magnified by the thought that it will become part of us,’ says Carole Counihan, an ethnographer at Millersville University in Pennsylvania. In New York, rats are considered filthy creatures that consume human garbage, carry disease and live in human waste – eating one would be unthinkable. But in the West African nation of Togo, rats live a more wholesome existence in the forests and are sold in the village markets. ‘[West African] rats are more like squirrels. They’re not in an environment that’s filled with human filth,’ says Paul Rozin, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

C Food symbolises many aspects of everyday culture and

is a vehicle for social relations. In February, the people of Iceland celebrate an old tradition called Thorrablot – the festival of feasts. The feast comprises some unusual delicacies such as sheeps’ heads and rotting shark. Although these dishes strike most outsiders as disgusting, for Icelanders the feasts are a great way to preserve their Viking heritage. ‘The purpose of continuing to eat these foods makes the rituals real and distinguishes the festival culture from everyday life – it reinforces history,’ says Nan Rothschild, an archaeologist at Barnard College in New York. It also provides a bonding experience for Icelanders. ‘By eating these foods – which can be hard to eat – you prove your tie to the community,’ Rothschild says.
