A) Comprehension
( 7points)
Read the text carefully and do the activities
The Mayan
Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in
the 1500s. The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose
achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many
buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them.
This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time,
because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable
and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work
easier and more productive.
In ancient
Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a
village with fields of corn, beans, and other crops around it. To clear the
land for farms, the Maya cut down trees with stone axes. They planted seeds by
digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks. A farmer was able to grow
crops that produced food for several people. But not every Maya had to be a
farmer. Some were cloth makers, builders, or priests.
The Maya
believed in many gods. The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods.
Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them
to construct these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone
they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves.
Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.
The Mayan
priests studied the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets. They made a
calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days
each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than
the European calendars of the time.
Around the year
800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one
knows why this happened. They may have died from an infectious
disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops.
Archaeologists are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya. They are still
one of our greatest mysteries.
1. Are the following statements true or false? Write ‘T’ or ‘F’next to the

as a surprise to many here who had tipped someone involved in peace talks as
winner this year. Mr Yunus himself told national Norwegian television he was
