(40 points)Text 1 On the banks of Tanzanias Lake Eyasi lives the worlds last hunter-gatherer tribe (部落) the Hadza. They dont grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.Their world is one of complete freedom something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls dont exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money the closest thing to currency (交易) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry.The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man. The Hadza dont have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need.Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” hunting for food takes up around five hours of their day. Theyve been in such a state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.1、We can learn from the
