(1.2 points) In the modern world, many people take the procurement of food for granted, especially in so- called industrialized states. Even in many states with marginalized economies, there is enough food for all. It is just unevenly distributed, with a powerful elite living lives of luxury in a land rife with deprivation and starvation. An abundance of food is not the norm of human history. For the first tens of thousands of years, humans lived a literal hand-to-mouth existence as hunter-gatherers, waking each morning with one thought in mind: how to find something to eat. The fruit and roots of the plants they gathered and the flesh of the fish they caught and the animals they hunted were their sole sources of nourishment, This overwhelming need occupied most of their time, leaving them with little to improve their lives in other ways. Permanent settlements were unheard of, as each band or tribe moved from Place to place seeking new sources of food. It was not until man learned the mysteries of agriculture about 12,000 years ago that man had a renewable source of nourishment and formed the first permanent settlements, All of the main staple crops of the world had at one time grown in the wild, often ina different form than man uses today. The cultivation of these plants in regularly planted fields constitutes the beginnings of agriculture, and coupled with the domestication of animals, it marked the first real civilizations on Earth. Prior to this point, in approximately 10,000 B.C., there was nothing to unify humans in any large groupings. In fact, large groupings would have been detrimental to the survival of the group as the food from their natural surroundings could only support a limited number of people. How and why man first began the process of planting crops, harvesting them, and sorting them for future use is still not entirely understood. Nevertheless, there are five undisputed original centers of agriculture: the eastern United States, the area of southern Mexico and Guatemala, the Andes mountain region of modern Peru, the Fertile Crescent region in the modern Middle East, and eastern China,All five independently developed agriculture from the plant species available in the region. With the exception of the eastern United States, in ancient times all became centers of urbanization, with the Fertile Crescent area the most likely site of man's first towns and cities. Agriculture is a labor-intensive activity, requiring a large group of people to live in the same place for continuous periods. Once an area was cleared trees, stones, or other obstacles and planted, it made sense to stay there and settle permanently. The crops also needed to be protected from animals and those still living a nomadic existence. Undoubtedly, agriculture gave rise to urbanization and not the reverse since without agriculture there was no reason to form permanent settlements. With a surplus of food available, people had time to take part in activities other than food Procurement. Artisans, merchants, scholars, engineers, priests, bureaucratic elites, permanent garrisons, and a myriad of others were fed by the surplus labor of the masses. For the first time in human history, a distinction grew between different groups of people: those who grew the food and those who did not. Perversely, those who did not grow the food became the more powerful, using their free time to plan cities and temples, develop weapons, gather armies, and wage war on their fellow humans. The masses of people became tied to the land, laboring for the few elites at the top. A distinction also grows between those who lived in the city and enjoyed its vices and those left back on the farm. In the ancient world, the city became a place of danger, where crime was rife, illness spread, and the worst sins of mankind were perpetrated, a situation that remains unchanged today. Much of humanity now resides in cities despite modern urban ills. Most of mankind has been free of its daily search for sustenance, allowing humans to progress in 12,000 years a tremendous deal rather than in all man’s previous history, Yet this progress has been with much pain, with the rise of powerful elites and a world of haves and have-nots.

Today Einstein, who learnt to read at 10, would be in remedial class, argues Anne Karpf. A good news story about education? It sounds like an oxymoron, but blazoned on Monday's front ages was the finding of a major new international survey that ‘UK pupils move close to top of world class’, especially in reading. This will have been gratifying to a government for whom ‘education, education, education’ increasingly seems to be a euphemism for ‘teading, reading, reading’. But such single-mindedness has had other unacknowledged consequences. 1 Orthodox educationalists, however, maintain that you’re never too young to learn to read: on the contrary, the earlier the better. Reading, and especially early reading, is considered so. self- evidently good that children are coaxed, pressed and, if required, bribed into submission. 2. My own position has changed radically between my first and second children. The first taught herself to read at the age of four. Thereafter she secreted books around her bed like contraband, and had to be physically prised from them at the dinner table. When her younger sister started school last year, I expected a repeat performance. 3 Should T be vacuuming away her words, and pumping in someone else’s? Should I have been coercing her to try to read when she was plainly unwilling? I can coerce for England, but the thought of becoming her personal politburo in the matter of when she learned to read seemed so awful that I became a covert refusenik instead. I decided to stop meddling altogether. 4. Elsewhere there’s no shortage of horror stories, like the parents of four-year-olds, who formerly wouldn’t have even been in school, paying for coaching to help them keep up with the fast readers. The mother of a four-and-a-half-year-old was told that her son had to apply himself to reading because the school didn’t want him to end up at the bottom of the pile. This from an excellent teacher, herself under pressure to produce results: by their SATs shall we judge them. Einstein may have learned to read only at 10, but today he'd be stigmatised and in remedial reading. Learning to read is rather like potty training. The parents of kids who do it young proclaim it abroad, yet most people get there in the end. How they do so is paramount for future pleasure, and the result of an unpredictable, serendipitous combination of factors different for each of us. But we've a government which has confused standards with standardisation. You can, just about, drill children into learning to read, but you can’t compel them to enjoy it. In a culture increasingly in thrall to what is measurable, what a pity reading pleasure can’t be tested. 6. As for my own now almost-six-year-old, who I think would have preferred this approach, something has recently clicked in the reading part of her brain, and she is on the way to becoming a voracious reader. It’s probably sheer coincidence that this transformation was over exactly the same period that she started learning the violin, A. Being against it is like being against vitamins or bank holidays — frankly perverse. Among the over half-million web pages devoted to teaching children to read, none of those I browsed are on learning to read too soon. B. For the best part of a year I schlepped her wretched bookbag to and from school without opening it, and resolved as far as possible to follow her own reading timetable. Her reception teacher adopted what today is a rare, daring stance: there isn’t much you can do to make a child read before they're ready. Page 6 of 9C. Early reading is all part of the extension of formal reading back into pre-school. Nurseries are now strewn with targets, and the children know it. Imagine the blow that might have dealt to his creative genius. Also, one problem with exerting such pressure on pre-school children is that it can make children resistant to reading. Once affecting extravagant interest in my daughter’s new book- title, I was rewarded with: “You’re just trying to get me to read it and I won’t.” D. Those who consider such misgivings a middle- class luxury should look at Europe. We’re alone in bullying children to read so young. The ‘Norwegians don’t start until they’re seven, when it’s usually painless. This also allows dyslexics to be diagnosed before and not after they’ve been labelled poor readers. Sylvia Hopland, head teacher of the Norwegian School in London, says: “We know that we could teach children to read at four if we wanted to but we want them to spend those years playing. Here you teach them to give the right answers. We want to teach them to solve problems, cooperate with others and cope with life.” Steiner schools in Britain also concentrate on stimulating children’s creative faculties until “a new kind of knowing” emérges at seven. E. Like other reception class mothers, I peeked at her friends’ bookbags to see if the books they were reading were more advanced. Invariably they were. My growing anxiety was assuaged by a wise fellow mother remarking that my exuberant child was busily engaged in things, like pretend games and drawing, which delighted her more. She also loves books, but often pleads for the right to be able to make up her own stories to the pictures (frequently more exciting than those confected by the author). F. The obsession with reading has led to a major decline in the time and energy given over to music, art and drama. And the heresy that dare not speak its name is that children are being pressurised to learn to read too early. G. When I asked her to tell me what she thought of her classes, she was unabashedly sincere: ‘I like books with pictures, but books with too many words are boring.” My immediate urge was to force her, threaten her or coax her nose into her books. Until it suddenly dawned on me: at what age did I start reading? Questions 7-10 Choose the best answer A, B, C or D. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. 7.
