As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North
America were building with adobe — sun-baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked
remarkably like modem apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters
for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings
were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against


enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized
since they called them “pueblos,” which is Spanish for towns.

The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London intending to study law,
but went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still
kept on painting.
In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art, and became
interested in early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work. He loved the greens and
browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.
This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's
never sure what the results will be. He says, 'It's a secret - because I don't know myself. I don't
start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top.' Like most talented people,
Aitchison makes it sound easy. 'Anyone can do the colours - you can buy them. I simply notice
what you put the colours next to.'
Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did,
he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings
many times before they are finished. This explains why his favourite models are people who don't
ask to see their pictures while he's painting them. 'If I feel they're worried and want to look at the
painting, I can't do it.'


Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene. He says
he is not interested in following any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work
still influences young British painters.
Aitchison prefers models who don’t

Rock Band
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday. At first, we were
very much against the idea because of the noise. ‘It’s better than watching television or playing computer
games in my free time,’ Ben argued, ‘and it’ll keep me out of trouble.’
In the end we gave in. ‘All right,’ we said, ‘but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours
when you play.’
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport, the other members
of Ben’s band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment. And so, for
several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising, my husband and I
go out for a long walk. And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a


friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill - after all I didn’t expect my
parents’ generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager - but they do play regularly in
local clubs for young people.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work because of their musical
activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always stressing to Ben how important his studies are. But
one thing is certain - Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.

Read the text and answer the question.

People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so early and so
inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their
growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy
— one plate, oneknife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of
noting that theyhave placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this
amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they move on to
subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island
at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics class
without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has
illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends. Children
were observed as they slowly grasped — or, as the case might be, bumped into — concepts that
adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as
water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstrated
that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red
pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested that the
rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggested that
the very concept of abstract numbers — the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that
applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically
demanding than setting a table — is itself far from innate.
The author implies that most small children believe that the quantity of water changes
when it is transferred to a container of a different

Dogs are either optimists or pessimists, claim scientists
Scientists have confirmed what many pet owners have long suspected: some dogs have a more
gloomy outlook on life than others. The unusual insight into canine psychology emerged from a
study by Bristol University researchers into how dogs behave when separated from their owners.
Dogs that were generally calm when left alone were also found to have a “dog bowl half full”
attitude to life, while those that barked, relieved themselves and destroyed furniture appeared to
be more pessimistic, the study concluded.
Michael Mendl, head of animal welfare and behaviour at the university, said the more anxiously a
dog behaved on being parted from its owner, the more gloomy its outlook appeared to be. The
findings suggest that the trouble caused by some dogs when they are left alone may reflect
deeper emotional problems that could be treated with behavioural therapy.
“Owners vary in how they perceive this kind of anxious behaviour in dogs. Some are very
concerned, some relinquish the dog to a refuge, but others think the dog is happy or even being
intentionally spiteful,” said Mendl. “At least some of these dogs may have emotional issues and
we would encourage owners to talk to their vets about potential treatments,” he added. Of the ten
million pet dogs in the UK, around half may show separation anxiety at some stage, the
researchers said.
Mendl’s team studied 24 animals at two dog homes in the UK. Half of the dogs were male and
they were various breeds, including Staffordshire bull terriers, golden retrievers and collies. They
ranged from nine months to nine years old. Researchers began the study by going to a room with
each dog in turn and playing for 20 minutes. They returned the next day, but this time left the dog
alone for five minutes, during which the scientists recorded the animal’s behaviour with a video

camera. The footage was used to give each dog an anxiety score.
A day or two later, the dogs were trained to walk over to a food bowl that was full when placed at
one end of a room and empty when placed at the other. When the dogs had learned the
difference, the scientists tested the animals’ underlying mood by placing bowls in ambiguous


positions – in the middle of the room, for example – and noting how quickly each dog went to the
bowl.
The dogs that had been most anxious in the earlier test were slowest to approach food bowls
placed in or near the middle of the room, suggesting they expected to find the bowl empty. The
less anxious dogs ran to the food bowls, implying they were more optimistic, according to a
report in Current Biology.
“We know that people’s emotional states affect their judgements and that happy people are more
likely to judge an ambiguous situation positively,” Mendl said. “What our study has shown is that
this applies similarly to dogs – that a glass-half-full dog is less likely to be anxious when left alone
than one with a more pessimistic nature.” Samantha Gaines, deputy head of the companion
animals department at the RSPCA, said: “Some dogs may be more prone to develop these
behaviours and should be re-homed with appropriate owners.”

People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so early and so
inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their
growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy
— one plate, oneknife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of
noting that theyhave placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this
amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they move on to
subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island
at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics class
without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists
has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends.
Children were observed as they slowly grasped — or, as the case might be, bumped into —


concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is
unchanged as water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since
demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number
of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested
that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also
suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers — the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a
threeness that applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more

mathematically demanding than setting a table — is itself far from innate.
The word “illuminated” is closest in meaning to

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For
many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything
more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age
ancestors knew about plant, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still
exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical.
Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have
always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for
clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes
living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many

properties of each. To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized
as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact
with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes
unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to
recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle


East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their
seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants
and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture:
cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled
production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties
that grew wild — and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience
and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
