16.Directions:Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the no more than 10words.The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s.The Maya were an intelligent,culturally rich people whose achievements were many.They had farms,beautiful palaces,and cities with many buildings.The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them.This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time.Knowledge about tools and farming,for instance,made their work easier and more productive.
In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest.In each clearing was a village with fields of corn,beans,and other crops around it.To clear the land for farms,the Maya cut down trees with stone axes.They planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks.A farmer was able to grow crops that produced food for several people.But not every Maya had to be a farmer.Some were cloth makers,builders,or priests(教士).
Measuring time was important to the Maya,for farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops.Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time.They studied the Sun,Moon,stars,and planets.They made a calendar from what they learned.The year was divided into 18months of 20days each with five days left over.The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time.
Around the year 800,the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities,never to return.No one knows why this happened.They may have died from an infectious disease.They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops.Archaeologists(考古学家)are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya.They are still one of our greatest mysteries.
