1. Read the following texts carefully and circle the most appropriate answers.

   The earliest artists to do drawings and paintings were the cavemen. Colored drawings of animals, dating from about 30,000 to 10,000 B.C., have been found on the walls of caves in southern France and Spain. Many of these drawings are amazingly well preserved, because the caves were sealed up for many centuries. Early man drew the wild animals that he saw all around him. The cave artists filled the cave walls with drawings in rich, bright colors. Some of the most beautiful paintings are in the Cave of Lascaux in France. The pigments used by cave painters were earth ochers (iron oxides varying in color from light yellow to deep orange) and manganese (a metallic element). These were crushed into a fine powder, mixed with grease (perhaps animal fat), and put on with some sort of brush. Sometimes the pigments were used in sticks, like crayons. The grease mixed with the powdered pigments made the paint fluid and pigments’ particles stick together. The cavemen must have made brushes out of animal hairs or plants. One of the first civilizations was developed in Egypt, about 5,000 years ago. The Egyptians developed their own techniques of painting. In one method watercolor paint was put on mud-plaster or limestone walls. The dry climate of the region has developed preserve some of the watercolor paintings from being destroyed.

6. All living members of the dog family are descended from a wolf like creature called “Tomarctus’’. This ancient canine, called “the father of dogs,’’ roamed the earth’s forests about 15,000,000 years ago. Tomarctus itself was descended from a small, weasel-like creature called “Miacis’’; it lived some 40,000,000 years ago. This creature was also the distant ancestor of the bears and raccoons. They are the dog’s closest living relatives today. While man admires and lives with the domestic dog, he usually hates and fears such animals as wolves, coyotes, jackals, and foxes. But these are called “wild dogs.’’ Domestic dogs are brothers under the skin to wolves, coyotes, and jackals-the typical wild dogs. All belong to the foremost branch of the dog family, the genus anis. At some time long ago early man tamed a few wild dogs. These dogs may have been wolf cubs. Or they may have been jackals or some other member of the wild dog family. Man found that these animals could be useful. As man became more civilized he found that the dog was a good friend and a helpful guard for his home and cattle. In time, different breeds of dogs were developed for special purposes. Dogs with long noses were bred to scent game. Keen-sighted, fast dogs were bred to chase animals. Strong, heavy dogs pulled carts. Others dogs were bred for guard work.
