MOCK TEST - PROJECT 4 (UNIT 5)
I) Read the text and answer the questions:
Thirty thousand years ago the first Americans
travelled across the ice from Asia to Alaska. Some of
them stayed in Alaska and became the Inuit people.
Others went to different parts of Canada and North
and South America. Some were fishermen, some were
farmers and some were hunters. When Columbus
arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, he thought he was in
India, so he called the Native Americans “Indians”.
When the first Europeans went to live in North
America, there were already a million people there.
There were about 300 “Indian” tribes. Each tribe had
a different language and a way of life, but they also
had a sign language that everyone could understand.
When the first white settlers arrived, the Native
Americans were living in their traditional homes
across North America. At first, they were friendly to
their new neighbours, but the European settlers
wanted their land. The Indians fought many wars and
their leaders-Crazy Horse, Geronimo, Sitting Bullbecame famous. Thousands of them died, and they also
died from illnesses that the Europeans brought with
them. Finally, the US government forced the Native
Americans to live in special “reservations”. Today,
about 1.5 million Native Americans live on
reservations. Many of them try to keep their ancient
traditions and now Native American culture is growing
again.
