11.Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes.One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color.They do this for many reasons.Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.(71)B Let's look at some different examples of body painting.(72)A Among the Masai of East Africa,when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people,they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red.This ceremony take place every seven to fourteen years,so there is not an exact age for participating in it.The Samburu,also from East Africa,like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.
(73)D To show that he has killed a lion,a man will paint his body with a natural white material,making special marks to represent this accomplishment.The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.
One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa.Once a year,they have a beauty contest for men.(74)GThen they add white and black circles and lines.Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth,which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.(75)E.

How has this speed of communication changed the world?To many people,the world has become smaller.Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller.It means that the world seems smaller.Two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time.All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean.In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions.For example,one battle,or fight,in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided.A peace agreement had already been signed.Peace was made in England,but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America.During these six weeks,the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought.Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty (条约)had been signed.In the past,communication took much more time than it does now.
There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.
