“Historian Andrew Lambert went on a modern day voyage to Australia, on a replica of Captain Cook’s ship Endeavour. Although those who served on the ship found some elements of this image convincing, they recognised that they should not allow their delicate 21st century sensibilities to cloud their judgement. Their first contact with the alternative world of Captain Cook was the food. A diet of salt meat, hard biscuit and sauerkraut was a shock to them, but their predecessors would have considered it superior to anything available on shore. Every ship’s captain would have ensured the crew was well fed, and kept their dinner time sacred, usually allowing the men 90 minutes to deal with their tough rations. They would only be called from the mess table in an emergency .

A busker is a street performer. They owe their origins to the jesters and travelling minstrels who entertained Egyptian Pharaohs, and Middle Age Lords. Literally defined as a person who entertains in public places for money, a busker has no set skills he must have. He can juggle, eat fire, play music, or ride a unicycle among many other things. As appreciation for a busker's performance, spectators are supposed to put coins in the performer- provided hat. You can find buskers performing around the world in places like England, Canada, Italy, and New Zealand, but not all areas welcome these street performers. Laws tend to lump buskers together as either panhandlers or vendors. Panhandlers cannot be taxed, and are illegal, so buskers face prosecution if caught. Vendors sell goods, which is what a busker's performance is termed, and need a permit for tax purposes. This method has its drawbacks as buskers seldom make large profits in the first place. Often they must be invited to perform at a location to avoid legal hassles.
50. The passage implies that ----.
A) all buskers used to be street sellers
B) buskers make a fortune as long as they are registered taxpayers
C) only four countries in the world let buskers perform their skills
D) buskers earn little money

The idea that American Indians could have built something resembling a city was so foreign to European settlers that when they encountered the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois in Midwest America, they thought they must have been the work of a foreign civilization: either the Phoenicians or the Vikings. Even today the idea of an Indian city runs so contrary to American notions of Indian life that no Anglo-Saxon American can absorb it. The first person to write an account of the Cahokia Mounds, the earliest and finest city built by Indians, was Henry Bracken bridge in 1811.When he reported his discovery, likening it to Egyptian pyramids, newspapers widely ignored it. He complained of this to his friend, former president Thomas Jefferson, and the word of 'Cahokia' did eventually get around. Unfortunately, most Americans were not very interested. The United States was trying to get the Indians out of the way, not appreciate their history. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 which ordered the relocation of eastern Indians to lands west of the Mississippi was based on the assumption that Indians were nomadic savages with no ability to make good use of land. Evidence of an ancient city, close to the size of Washington, D.C. at that time, would have spoiled the story line.
In the passage, the fact that the descendants of the European settlers cannot come to terms with the accomplishments of the American Indians shows that —.
A) they have had a fixed, predetermined and prejudiced attitude towards the American Indians
B) the Anglo-Saxon approach to the Indians is complex and unbiased in nature
C) people living in Midwestern America think in a way that resembles those of Europeans
D) no civilization other than the Phoenicians and the Vikings could construct big cities like Cahokia
E) the way the American Indians had lived for centuries has little to offer to European Americans
