题目内容
daughters on a walking safari(旅行)last year in Tanzania. Barbara told about their experience in
Kinbero, "It is the most remote(遥远的)place we have ever been to," camping with a few other
Americans, two Tanzanian guides, and several Hadza(哈扎人)who had time to sit and chat
because they had just killed a giraffe.
About 400 members of the Eastern Hadza tribe(部落)live in Tanzania today, the only
hunter-gatherers who remain in Africa. The Hadza hunt game, gather edible plants and honey,
and move from place to place whenever the weather changes. Every two weeks or so, they move
to a new campsite.
At the Pinchoffs' campsite, three Hadza men stopped by to visit and ended up staying three
days. One of the guides gave the men a cigarette. They took out the tobacco, put it in a pipe, and
lit the pipe with fire they started.
It takes less than two hours for Hadza women to build a new camp. They make huts(茅屋)by
bending branches into round structures about six feet high, and then covering them with long,
golden grass. If the weather is very wet, the women may choose a dry cave to set up a camp. Some
rock caves have been used over thousands of years and are decorated(装饰)with ancient rock
paintings. Whether they sleep in huts, caves or in the open, the Hadza cover themselves only with thin
cloths and depend on fire to keep them warm.
The Hadza refuse to be "settled" into villages or to have the life of farmers. By 1979, almost all of
them had returned to their old ways. They Hadza may be the only tribe in Africa that has never paid
taxes.

On the snowy Tibet plateau, traditional elements have been mingled with modern life -- youths dressed in the latest fashion dancing "Guozhuang," office-ladies playing conventional Tibetan music while driving to work and Tibetan girls wearing superb folk costume displaying their nice figures.
"I used to go shopping or bar-hopping with my friends after work. But now I don't think it is advisable to continue following that living style," said Pasang, a young Tibetan girl who practices Yoga everyday at a fitness club in the eastern suburbs of Lhasa city.
Today, the conception to live in a healthy way has become more popular in Tibet's general public.
When the night falls, crowds of aged citizens dancing "Guozhuang," a traditional Tibetan group dance, to vigorous folk music can be seen in many residential communities. Among them, Pasang's mother Tseden Wangmo, 63, is undoubtedly one of the enthusiasts in such an outdoor team activity: "I like dancing Guozhuang very much, for it can make my body strong, bring me good mood and carry forward Tibetan ethnic culture as well."
Different from their elder generations, a swarm of teenagers play skateboard or roller-skating shuttle among groups of strollers on the squares in front of the Potala Palace and Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's permanent residence.
The stylish dress, colored hairs, an earring on a single ear or an obscure tattoo -- all these signals have highlighted Tibet's younger generation's personality and their view on fashion.
Lhakpa Tashi, 16, will become a high-school student in the second half year. This adolescent is a typical fan at various kinds of modern novelties, such as surfing the net, online shopping and foreign Rap music.
