Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 10 класс, Титул: 2 А. Read the first part of the article and answer the questions. а) How could one tell who was top dog in a tribe? б) What was once the symbol of power at a table? Why? Part 1 Food has many meanings for us, but when a group of people gather together the process of eating is always more about power than about nourishment. When we lived in tribes everyone may have crowded round the carcass, but you can be sure that it was the warrior man who ate first and took the best bits and that the women and children were served last and got leftovers, When tables and chairs first came into use, only those with power sat at the table, and then in a stnct order of importance, with a bawl pf salt showing who was top dog. The bow1 of salt might have disappeared, but the seating order still exists. GLOSSARY nourishment — food that is needed to live, grow and slay heatthy leftovers (n) — food that has not been eaten at the end of a meal (be left over — verb) top dog — the person in the highest position *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
Ответ
- One could tell who was top dog by who ate first and took the best bits of the carcass. The warrior man did this, while women and children were served last.
- The symbol of power at a table was once a bowl of salt, because it showed who was top dog and had the highest position.
