28、the following passage and answer questions 9-18.1. When Christopher Columbus landed on Americas shores, he encountered copper-shinned people whom he promptly called “Indians“. Current estimates indicate that there were over a million Indians inhabiting North American then. There are approximately 80
29、0,000 Indians today, of whom about 250, 000 live on reservations.2. The early settlers had an amicable relationship with Indians, who shared their knowledge about hunting, fishing, and farming with their uninvited guests. The stereotyped stealthy, wicked Indian of western movies are created by diffe
30、rent faithless white man; the Indian was born friendly.3. Disgust developed between the Indians and the settlers, whose encroachment on Indian lands provoked an era of turbulence. As early as 1745, Indian tribes joined together to drive the French off their land. The French and Indian war did not en
31、d until 1763. The Indian had succeeded in destroying most of the settlements. The British, superficially submissive to the Indiana, promised that further migrations west would not extend beyond a specified boundary.4. Vacated from their lands or, worse still, frankly giving their property to the whi
32、tes for few baubles, Indians were ruthlessly pushed west. The battle in 1876 at Little Horn river in Montana, in which setting Bull and the Sioux tribes massacred General Custers cavalry, caused the whites intensify their campaign against the Redman. The battle at Wound Knee, South Dakota, in 1890 p
33、ut an end to the last vestige of hope for amity between Indians and whites.5. Although the Bureau of lndian affairs has operated since 1842, presumably for the purpose of guarding Indians “interests“, Indian on reservations lead notoriously deprived lives. In recent times Indians have taken a milita
34、nt stand and appealed to the courts and the American people to improve their substandard living conditions.Questions 9-13For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from below.For each numberedparagraph (1-5), mark one letter (A-G) on the Answer Sheet.Do not mark any letter twice.9.
