Could you live without a computer or a mobile phone? It might be hard for you to imagine a life without technology(科技). But even today, many people all over the world live happily without it. There are many tribes(部落) with much more important things to worry about than technology.
One of the most famous tribes on the earth is the Maasai(马赛族) people of Kenya, in Africa. The Maasai people don’t live in one place all the time. They move from place to place and make new homes each time they move. They build their homes in the forests from things they can find in nature—mud, sticks, grass and rocks. Their villages don’t have electricity(电), so computers and mobile phones cannot be used.
Another tribe in South East Asia is the Hmong. These are hill people—they live in the mountains in parts of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. They have a very traditional way of life. In fact, they live the same way now that their ancestors(祖先) used to live over 2,000 years ago. They’ve also got their own ancient language with two different dialects(方言)： Hmong Djua and Hmong Daw. The language comes from Southern China and it’s quite different from the other languages of South East Asia. You won’t find much technology in a Hmong hill village.
The Koryak people, a tribe in Russia, live on the northern part of them Pacific Coast. It is very cold. For food, these people catch fish or keep reindeer (驯鹿). Koryak children help hunt(狩猎) and cook food for their family. They also sometimes make their own clothes with reindeer skin(皮).
Life for these people is much harder than it is for you or me. Could you live comfortably without basic necessities like food, water and electricity?
1.What can we know about the Hmong?
A. They live on the coast.

2.What does the writer think of the life of the tribes？
