3. READING
H. Read the text below and answer the questions 1-5. Choose a, b, c or d.
The area now known as the United States of America was not an unpopulated wilderness before the
arrival of European settlers. Among those who were already living off the land were the Cheyenne, one
of several tribes of Native Americans. Like other tribes, such as the Sioux and the Navajo, they were
put under a lot of pressure to change both where and how they lived. Four hundred years ago the
Cheyenne, whose name means little red-talker, were based in the Eastern Woodlands. Unusually for
Native American tribes, they were farmers, planting corn and beans rather than hunters. However, by
the middle of the nineteenth century this had changed, and the Cheyenne had developed a horse culture
and hunted bison on the Great Plains.
Traditionally, the chiefs or elders of the Cheyenne were organised into the Council of Forty-Four.
They had rules for everyday life, warfare, celebrations and ceremonies. One thing that made the
Cheyenne different from other tribes, which were exclusively patriarchal, was that women were far
more active in tribal affairs.
In twenty-first century America, many Cheyenne live in exactly the same way as do most people in big
cities. However, there is another option for those who want to keep their traditional way of life. This is
to live on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in southeast Montana, or on the Southern
Cheyenne Reservation in central Oklahoma. The combined population of the Cheyenne is presently
near to 20,000.

1. When did the Cheyenne migrate to the Great Plains?
a. around 1850

c. as soon as the Europeans arrived in America
d. in this century

a. the Sioux and the Navajo

3. Where would a Cheyenne who wanted a traditional way of life prefer to live?
a. on a reservation
b. in a big city
c. anywhere in Montana
d. on the Great Plains

4. Which of the following is not true?
a. Europeans were not the first people to live in the US.
b. Today some Cheyenne live on reservations.
c. The Cheyenne have always lived in the same place.
d. Women in Cheyenne communities had a higher status than in other tribes.

5. What is the purpose of the text?
a. to give a personal account of changes in a lifestyle
