20、ing that we cannot possibly do without. 1Without it we would starve to death. But even if we have plenty of food, but of the wrong kind, our bodies will suffer from a lack of the right food. This is known as malnutrition. In primitive countries, mans food needs are the same as in the more advanced s

21、ocieties like our own. 2Primitive people eat only the foods which can be grown near their homes, whereas we eat foods which are often grown many thousands of miles away from our homes. Primitive people are satisfied with less variety than we are. 3Just think of the different types of meat we eat: be

22、ef, mutton, pork, chicken, turkey, goose, and rabbit. We could manage on a diet of one kind of meat, but how monotonous it would become!

25、 the heat of our bodies. Since we live in a temperate climate we need more clothes than people living in tropical countries, but less than people living in arctic conditions. Likewise, our clothing needs to change with the season. 7 Shelter, the third of our needs, depends upon the climate, the skil

A. Yet we

We all need food and could manage to live a healthy life on limited types of food. D. Food is a basic human need. E. The simple shelter of the aboriginal would not do for us, a
