Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage：

Then about ten thousand years ago，after this immensely long period of hunting their food，they became farmers.Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life，was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating their prey．The hunt became suddenly out of date．The food was their on the farms，awaiting their needs．The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival．

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:

Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone ,but that one‟s muscles also partcipiate.It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.

You surely are surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your hole body.Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically ,some part of their body .Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio ,he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.

Strange as this behavior may be ,there is a very good reason for it.One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates,so to speak ,in its performance.The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body .

The muscles of the body actually patricipate in the mental process of thinking in the same way ,but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable .
