boomerang The Aborigines (澳洲土著) have lived in...

The Aborigines believed that spirits made people, animals and plants, and that these spirits still live in the earth. For Aborigines, no one can own the earth—the earth belongs to the spirits.

In 1700, there were many Aboriginal groups with a population of 750,000 all over Australia, and there were probably more than 240 different Aboriginal languages. The groups did not have a leader. Instead, things were decided by the older men in a group. People from different groups often travelled hundreds of miles to meet each other.

Aboriginal life changed when an English boat arrived in Australia in 1770. Many Aborigines were killed in the wars that they had with the English. More Europeans came, and they started taking land from the Aborigines. The Europeans also brought new illnesses that killed the Aborigines. The result is that today there are only about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.

1. The Aborigines painted pictures ________.

A. on animals’ fur         B. on the land

C. on the tree              D. on the rock

2. What do you think the Aborigines used boomerangs to do?

A. To paint.  B. To hunt.   C. To fight. D. To play.

3.. The Aborigines thought ________ were the most important on the earth.

A. people      B. animals   C. spirits      D. plants

4. In an Aboriginal group ________ decided things.

A. the older men        B. the leader

C. the English          D. the Europeans

5.The number of the Aborigines is small today ________.

A. because their living condition was very bad

B. because the English killed a lot of them in the wars

C. because of the new illnesses the Europeans brought them

D. because of the wars and the new illnesses
