Tribes (部落) in Danger

The Jarawa, a tribe of 200-300 people, live on the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. They look very different from their Indian neighbours. Most probably, their closest relatives are Africans. No one outside the tribe really speaks their language, so not much   【小题1】 (know) about them.

But we do know   【小题2】 the Jarawa live. They are nomadic (游牧) people,   【小题3】 (move) from place to place to find food. They hunt small animals and fish, they find berries, honey, and they are self-sufficient — they do everything by   【小题4】.

The threats to the Jarawa started in 1970. A road was built through the forest 【小题5】 they live, and the Indian authorities decided to build towns and “settlers” were brought from other places 【小题6】 (live) in them. They also wanted the Jarawa to live in the towns. This policy is called “forced settlement”, and it has been a disaster for tribal peoples in places all over the world. It’s clear why: 【小题7】 forced settlement, tribes are no longer self-sufficient, and they can easily get new diseases. A tribe’s sense of identity can easily be destroyed.

But in the case of the Jarawa, it seems that the fight against these dangers has been successful, thanks to Survival, an organization 【小题8】 (devote) to protecting endangered tribes, and the campaigns that they’ve organized. For a number of years, Survival asked the Indian government to respect the Jarawa’s rights to live on their land. As a result of the campaign, there was a court case. Eventually not only 【小题9】 the authorities close the road through the Jarawa’s land, but also remove the settlers. Now Survival 【小题10】 (fight) for the Jarawa’s right to own their land and to make their own choices about the way they live.

During the outbreak of COVID-19, online courses played 【小题1】 key role for students. But how do parents feel about this approach?

A recent survey 【小题2】 (conduct)by China Youth Daily has found that about 58.3 percent of Chinese parents of middle and primary school students have a positive attitude toward the 【小题3】 (effect)of online courses. Of the 2, 470 parents of middle and primary school students 【小题4】 were surveyed, 61.4 percent of those living in first-tier cities 【小题5】 (satisfy) with online courses, while about half of those living in counties, villages and other remote areas felt otherwise.

About 74 percent of the parents said online courses have added an extra burden on them 【小题6】 they have to spend more time taking care of and 【小题7】 (assist) their children. One Beijing parent told CGTN: "Most of the courses are delivered through recorded videos rather than livestreaming(直播), so students do not deal 【小题8】 (direct) with teachers. During classes, parents need to keep an eye on their children 【小题9】 (ensure) they stay focused.”

About 70. 5 percent of the respondents complained that their children got distracted(分心的)during online studies, with 92.8 percent blaming it for a lack of 【小题10】 (interact) they would have had in a classroom.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.

For thousands of years, Chinese people 【小题1】 (value) the large family with three, four, or even five generations living under the same roof. In this way of life, the older generation can enjoy a happy and easy late life with their children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren growing up beside them and keeping them 【小题2】 being lonely. However, as society advances and people enjoy a 【小题3】 (comfortable) life, the big families begin to break up. Along with the growth of so-called “empty nestles”, which means the young birds have flown away and only 【小题4】 old are left alone, young parents are living with their own nuclear families. It goes without saying 【小题5】 the collapse of big families and the popularity of smaller ones are the result of our times.

It is a time when people think highly of individual freedom 【小题6】 happiness. Young people like to have a space all alone to themselves, which helps avoid conflicts 【小题7】 (cause) by different living habits from their parents. It’s also a time when problems of old age and childcare have been socialized gradually. Senior citizens can live together and 【小题8】 (take) good care of by specialized nurses.

Therefore, there is every reason to believe that this trend of families in reduced size is 【小题9】 (agree) to our times. To create a brighter future, we should do our best to build our society into one in 【小题10】 every member lives healthily and harmoniously.
