Question

In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforests of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (种族的)  36  called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any   37   of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hunted animals and   38   fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of stone, lived in   39   and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they   40   became world famous. After that, there were TV   41  and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not  42  by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world   43   about them.

In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey   44  thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was   45   killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten   46   and found the caves of the Tasaday   47  . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all   48   jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority   49   .

When he   50   to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not   51   from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to   52   they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start   53  into the region.

One group of experts said that they really were people who had no   54   with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just   55   the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.
