Despite the tricky and life-threatening relationship
between Paleolithic humans and the megafauna that comprised
so much of their environment, twentieth-century scholars tended
to claim cave art as evidence of an unalloyed triumph for our
species. It was a “great spiritual symbol,” of a time when “man
had just emerged from a purely zoological existence, when
instead of being dominated by animals, he began to dominate
them.” But the child-like and highly stylized stick figures found
in caves do not radiate triumph. By the standards of our own
time, they are excessively self-effacing and, compared to the
animals portrayed around them, pathetically weak.
While twentieth-century archeologists tended to
solemnize prehistoric art as “magico-religious” or “shamanic,”
today’s more secular viewers sometimes detect a vein of sheer
silliness. India’s Mesolithic rock art portrays few human stick
figures; those that are portrayed have been described by modern
viewers as “comical,” “animalized” and “grotesque.” As Judith
Thurman wrote about the artists, “despite their penchant for
naturalism, rarely did they choose to depict human beings, and
then did so with a crudeness that smacks of mockery.”
But who are they mocking, other than themselves and, by
extension, their distant descendants, ourselves? Of course, our
reactions to Paleolithic art may bear no connection to the
intentions or feelings of the artists. Yet there are reasons to
believe that Paleolithic people had a sense of humor not all that
dissimilar from our own.
Barbara Ehrenreich. The Humanoid Stain. Later on.
Internet: (adapted).
Judge whether the following items about text I are right (C) or wrong (E).
By stating that the human figures in cave art are “self-effacing” (last sentence of the first paragraph), the author means that humans were virtually absent characters in cave paintings.

Judge whether the following items about text I are right (C) or wrong (E).
The last sentence of the second paragraph could be rewritten, maintaining its original meaning and correctness, as: Accordingly, Judith Thurman has already written that cave artists, notwithstanding their respect for naturalistic portraits, have an aversion to painting human beings with traces of crudeness, which suggests mockery.

TEXT:
How students can make rapid progress by reading
independently
By Stephanie Hirshman
January 2, 2024
Let me start with a true story. When I was seven years old, my family
spent a year in France, and I had to go to school there. The only
thing was, I didn’t speak French. Luckily my mother was fluent in
that language, and she set out to prepare me a few months before
we left. Armed only with a second-hand copy of a little picture book
called Totor et Tristan, she sat me down on the sofa with her a
few times a week for around 10 minutes. Sometimes she read the
book to me while I followed the text silently and sometimes I had
to read a page myself. She asked me questions in French and I
answered in French, or she corrected my pronunciation. That was
it.
My first day at school in France was memorable for many reasons,
but one of these was that I was the only child in a class of native
French speakers to score 100% on our first spelling test! Everyone
was amazed, me most of all because I didn’t even know what most
of the words meant.
So, what made this possible? I think it was reading with my mother
– I guess had read more in French than my classmates and thus
was able to recognize the tricky relationship between sound and
spelling. My confidence was sky high and I was fluent within four
months.
Exploring a written text for fun, on your own terms, is called
extensive reading, and teachers can support their students to
realize its many benefits.
Graded readers
Graded readers are books which have been adapted to be suitable
for specific levels of language learners to enjoy. They can be
classics (The Phantom of the Opera), film adaptations (Rain Man)
or original works of fiction or non-fiction. They can be purchased
online or at bookshops, or you can obtain them from libraries or
even find some on websites.
There are many reasons for making them available to students.
First, reading is fun. It’s also magic learning. Students who have a
sustained habit of extensive reading see improvements in a range
of areas: lexical, grammatical and spelling as well as reading
speed, which is vital for success in academic and work contexts.
Being able to select their own reading material gives students a
sense of ownership.
Choosing a book
It’s helpful if a teacher initially introduces students to graded
readers and explains how to choose and use them. Students
should examine both covers carefully, using the picture and the
blurb to determine the genre and read a basic description of the
story. Additional information can be found inside the book, in the
Introduction.
While it’s not necessary to have 100% comprehension of the text,
choosing a book which is too difficult or too easy will not lead to
an enjoyable experience. Most books are labelled with a level, but
no two intermediate readers will have the same needs. Therefore,
a simple test can be performed: the student should choose one
page at random and read it to see how many unknown words
they encounter. If the answer is seven or fewer, this book will be
suitable. More than seven, and it’ll be too hard to get a good flow
going when reading.
Activities
While students are reading, they should try to work out the meaning
of unfamiliar items from context. They should also be made aware
of the Glossary at the back of some books and, of course, they can
use a dictionary if they really need to.
However, some items do notreally need further exploration - making
decisions about what’s important and what’s not is an important
skill for language learners. Some books also have comprehension
questions at the back.
However, the main aim is to get into and
enjoy the story without lots of interruptions and checks. Encourage
students to read ten minutes a day on a regular basis (perhaps in
bed or while commuting). Results will not be immediate, but within
a few weeks, students should recognize the improvements.
Conclusion
A collection of readers is well worth investing in. Be creative when
looking for material – why not try a graphic novel? Even authentic
texts not intended for language learners can be worthwhile for
advanced students or those with a special interest in or knowledge
of a topic.

they encounter. If the answer is seven or fewer, this book will be
suitable. More than seven, and it’ll be too hard to get a good flow
going when reading.
Activities
While students are reading, they should try to work out the meaning
of unfamiliar items from context. They should also be made aware
of the Glossary at the back of some books and, of course, they can
use a dictionary if they really need to.
However, some items do notreally need further exploration - making
decisions about what’s important and what’s not is an important
skill for language learners. Some books also have comprehension
questions at the back.
However, the main aim is to get into and
enjoy the story without lots of interruptions and checks. Encourage
students to read ten minutes a day on a regular basis (perhaps in
bed or while commuting). Results will not be immediate, but within
a few weeks, students should recognize the improvements.
Conclusion
A collection of readers is well worth investing in. Be creative when
looking for material – why not try a graphic novel? Even authentic
texts not intended for language learners can be worthwhile for
advanced students or those with a special interest in or knowledge
of a topic.

TEXT:
How students can make rapid progress by reading
independently
By Stephanie Hirshman
January 2, 2024
Let me start with a true story. When I was seven years old, my family
spent a year in France, and I had to go to school there. The only
thing was, I didn’t speak French. Luckily my mother was fluent in
that language, and she set out to prepare me a few months before
we left. Armed only with a second-hand copy of a little picture book
called Totor et Tristan, she sat me down on the sofa with her a
few times a week for around 10 minutes. Sometimes she read the
book to me while I followed the text silently and sometimes I had
to read a page myself. She asked me questions in French and I
answered in French, or she corrected my pronunciation. That was
it.
My first day at school in France was memorable for many reasons,
but one of these was that I was the only child in a class of native
French speakers to score 100% on our first spelling test! Everyone
was amazed, me most of all because I didn’t even know what most
of the words meant.
So, what made this possible? I think it was reading with my mother
– I guess had read more in French than my classmates and thus
was able to recognize the tricky relationship between sound and
spelling. My confidence was sky high and I was fluent within four
months.
Exploring a written text for fun, on your own terms, is called
extensive reading, and teachers can support their students to
realize its many benefits.
Graded readers
Graded readers are books which have been adapted to be suitable
for specific levels of language learners to enjoy. They can be
classics (The Phantom of the Opera), film adaptations (Rain Man)
or original works of fiction or non-fiction. They can be purchased
online or at bookshops, or you can obtain them from libraries or
even find some on websites.
There are many reasons for making them available to students.
First, reading is fun. It’s also magic learning. Students who have a
sustained habit of extensive reading see improvements in a range
of areas: lexical, grammatical and spelling as well as reading
speed, which is vital for success in academic and work contexts.
Being able to select their own reading material gives students a
sense of ownership.
Choosing a book
It’s helpful if a teacher initially introduces students to graded
readers and explains how to choose and use them. Students
should examine both covers carefully, using the picture and the
blurb to determine the genre and read a basic description of the
story. Additional information can be found inside the book, in the
Introduction.
While it’s not necessary to have 100% comprehension of the text,
choosing a book which is too difficult or too easy will not lead to
an enjoyable experience. Most books are labelled with a level, but
no two intermediate readers will have the same needs. Therefore,
a simple test can be performed: the student should choose one
page at random and read it to see how many unknown words
they encounter. If the answer is seven or fewer, this book will be
suitable. More than seven, and it’ll be too hard to get a good flow
going when reading.

of unfamiliar items from context. They should also be made aware
