Read the following text and fill each of the numbered spaces with ONE suitable word, Write your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Another early Native American tribe in (31) is now the southwestern part of the United States was the Anasazi. By A. D. 800 the Anasazi Indians were constructing multistory pueblos-massive, stone apartment compounds. Each (32) was virtually a stone town, (33) is why the Spanish would later (34) them pueblos, the Spanish word (35) towns. These pueblos represent one of the Anasazis’ supreme achievements. At least a dozen large stone houses (36) shape below the bluffs of Chaco Canyon in northwest New Mexico. They were built with masonry walls more than a meter thick and adjoining apartments to (37) dozens, even hundreds, of families. The largest, later named Pueblo Bonito (Pretty Town) (38) the Spanish, rose in five terraced stories, contained more than 800 rooms, and could have housed a population of 1,000 or (39) Besides living quarters, each (40) included one or more kivascircular underground chambers faced with stone. They functioned (41) sanctuaries where the elders met to plan festivals, perform ritual dances, settle pueblo affairs, (42) impart tribal lore to the younger generation. Some (43) were enormous. Of the 30 or so at Pueblo Bonito, two measured 20 meters across. They contained niches for ceremonial objects, a central fire pit, and holes in the floor for communicating (44) the spirits of tribal ancestors.Each pueblo represented an astonishing amount of well-organized labor. Using only stone and wood (45) , and without benefit of wheels or draft animals, the builders quarried ton upon ton of sandstone (46) the canyon walls, cut it into small blocks, hauled the blocks to the construction site, and fitted them together with mud mortar. Roof beams of pine or fir had to be (47) from logging areas in the mountain forests many kilometers (48) . Then, to connect the pueblos and to give (49) to the surrounding tableland, the architects laid out a system of public roads with stone staircases for ascending cliff faces. In time, the roads reached (50) to more than 80 satellite villages within a 60 kilometer radius. 37().

Many parents, teachers, and community leaders are eager for some sign of a decline in drug use among teenagers that it’s worth citing a recent survey by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.This group’s polls show drug are gradually losing their aura of "coolness" and acceptability. The statistical declines are hardly startling-40 percent of teens surveyed saying that really cool kids don’t use drugs, compared with 35 percent a year ago; experimentation with marijuana is down to 41 percent, from 44 percent in 1997.A few more kids are trying to talk friends out of using drugs. More are saying they couldn’t be talked into it. Considerably more say they’re aware of antidrug messages in the media.Skeptics are prone to sneer at such findings. They point to continued high drug use generally. But changes in attitudes toward drugs shouldn’t be discounted. Altered attitudes lead to altered behavior, as shown by dropping cigarette use among youths in states making a consistent effort to discourage smoking.Perhaps most importantly, anti-addiction drives-whether against drugs, tobacco, or alcohol-have to credit the people they want to stay with intelligence and common sense. Those faculties may need to be awakened, Kids, and adults for that matter, have to be moved to the question, " Do I really want to do this to myself" and, "Do I want to set this example for others"Helping young people towards the right answers early is at the heart of the country’s against drugs. The ads being aired as part of the government’s National Youth Anti-Media Campaign have their part to play. So, citically, do parents and other influential adults. It’s encouraging that an increased proportion of teens surveyed (50 percent versus 27 percent last year) said their parents had informed them of the dangers of drugs.The glimpses of hope seen in this survey and other recent ones demand diligent follow-up. Reducing demand is the most critical front in the drug "war".Among youths, whether urban, suburban, or rural, that means education, with an emphasis on moral reasoning-making decisions that help oneself and others. The children survey said that ().
