When people think of aborigines, what comes to mind are groups of people speaking in an unrecognizable
language and engaging in rituals. Aborigines thrive in areas where others can not. They have survived for centuries
without tools, cultivated land and domesticated animals.
Aboriginal means the earliest known which is an apt description of these people. They were the first to inhabit
an island, whether it was an arid desert, the mountains or tropical rainforests.
Insects are their staple food. Their intimate knowledge of the places they live in allows them to search for insects
easily. Just like farmers, the aborigines have a mass harvesting of insects that are difficult to catch, followed by huge
celebrations. These insects are treated as a delicacy and many people clamor to eat them during important
occasions. However, there are also insects that can easily be caught. These are often eaten.
The preparation of the insects for consumption involves many steps. It certainly stands out in the simple
aboriginal life. Moths are cooked to singe off their wings and legs and then sifted through a net to remove their
heads. It is hard to imagine that each aborigine only needs to eat ten of these grubs as they are equivalent to all the
daily nutritional needs of an adult. Not many of us will dare to eat even one of these grubs.
An examination of aboriginal lifestyle certainly yields a host of interesting discoveries.
1. What do people usually associate aborigines with ?
____________________________________________________________________________________
2. What does the writer think people need in order to survive?
____________________________________________________________________________________
3. Why are the aborigines able to make insects their staple food?
____________________________________________________________________________________
4. Which parts of the moths are not eaten?
____________________________________________________________________________________
5. Which phrase tells you that the writer is amazed by the food that the aborigines eat?
____________________________________________________________________________________
XI. Choose from the list (A-F) the phrase which best fits each numbered space. There is one extra phrase
which you do not need to use. (5 pts)
