It includes their family life, religion, laws and language. The term “anthropology” comes from two Greek words:“anthropos” means “human being” and “logy” means “the science of”. Anthropology can be divided into two areas. These two main divisions are cultural anthropology and physical anthropology. Anthropologists define human progress in three main steps. Step one begins with the first human being and continues until the last of people who hunted animals just to survive .Step two includes people who grew food. In this step, there was progress in invention and religion. Step three deals with first civilization, such as those in Egypt and parts of Asia. Anthropologists always seek new information about people .For instance, recent evidence found in Ethiopia and Kenya shows humans earlier in history than it was previously believed.41.

But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, sex, and the sort of drinks you have had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks. In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if youre below the legal limit, you can still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol. It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you are still over the legal limit. In addition, if you have had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit. In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive through a set of moveable posts in the driving test. and the less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure youre safe is not to drink at all. Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young people. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.It is important to remember that driving after drinking doesnt just affect you. If you are involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, at least the person you might kill or injure.46. The amount of alcohol one can drink before reaching the legal limit_. A. is 80 milligrams of pure alcohol B. is bout three standard drinks C. is different for different people C. is not related to ones body weight47. When might you be taken to court by the police for drinking and driving? A. When you have driven a vehicle after drinking any alcohol at all. B. When you have had at least three drinks before driving. C. Only when you tests show that you have 80 milligrams of alcohol at all. D. When the police think that you r driving is affected by alcohol.48. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TURE? A. When you have been drinking heavily in the evening, you might be still over the legal limit the next morning. B. The more alcoholic drinks the drivers have had, the more likely they are to pass the driving test. C. If you have had a standard drink, you may drive an hour later. D. If you want to drive safely, you had better not drink at all.49. Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents in that_. A. most drivers who die in these accidents have been drinking B. more young people die in drink-related accidents than in any other way C. drinking affects peoples blood alcohol concentration D. one in three drivers drink heavily50.

She always went there on Thursday. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone. At six oclock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she was wondering whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door“a master key ”perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that, dressed as usual, she went out at her usual time, but she didnt go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four oclock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly toward the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.51. Mrs. Clarke looked forward to Thursday because_. Ashe worked at a club on the day Bshe lived alone Cshe visited a club on Thursdays Da special visitor came on Thursday Clarke 52.

The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by peoples attitude towardsthem. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts. 56. The first paragraph points out that_. A. there are many disabled people in the world B. the number of disabled people in India is the biggest C. India has many more disabled people than Canada D. it is easy to get an exact number of the worlds disabled people 57. The last paragra
