Read the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three item Ⅱ, Ⅲ, IV.

(1)Why do the Chinese dislike milk and milk products?Why do some nations trace descent

through the father, others through the different instincts? Not because they were destined by God

or Fate to different habits, not because they were brought up that way.By cultureanthropology

means the total life way of a people, the socia1 legacy the individua1 acquires from his group. Or

culture can be regarded as that part of the environment that is the creation of man.

(2)This technical term has a wider meaning than theculture of history and literature. A humble

cooking pot is as much a cultural product as is a Beethoven sonata. In ordinary speech a man of

culture is a man who can speak languages other than his own, who is familiar with history,

literature,phi1osophy, or the fine arts. In some circles that definition is sti11 narrower. The

cultured person is one who can talk about James Joyce, Scarlatti, and Picasso. To the

anthropo1ogist, however, to be human is to be cultured. The genera1 abstract notion serves to

remind us that we cannot explain acts solely in terms of the bio1ogica1 properties of the people

concerned, their individual past experience, and the immediate situation. The past experience of

other men in the form of culture enters into almost every event. Each specific culture constitutes a

kind of blueprint for all of life's activities.

(3) One of the interesting things about human beings is that they try to understand themselves and

their own behavior. While this has been particularly true of Europeans in recent times, there is no

group which has not deve1oped a scheme or schemes to explain man's actions.To the insistent

human question Why?the most exciting illumination anthropology has to offer is that of the

concept of culture. Its explanatory importance is comparable to categories such as evolution in

bio1ogy, gravity in physics, disease in medicine. A good dea1 of human behavior can be

understood, and indeed predicted, if we know a people's design for living. Many acts are neither

accidenta1 nor due to persona1 peculiarities nor caused by supematura1 forces nor simply

mysterious. Even those of us who pride ourselves on our individualism fo11ow most of the times

a pants- not of our own making. We brush our teeth on arising. We put on pants- not aloinc1oth or

a grass skirt. We eat three meals a day-not in a hammock or on a sheep pelt. I do not have to know

the individual and his life history to be able to predict these and countless other regularities,

including many in the thinking process, of all Americans who are not1ocked up in jails or

hospitals for the insane.

(4)To the American woman a system of plura1 wives seemsinstinctively hatefu1. She cannot

understand how any woman can fai1 to be jea1ous and uncomfortable if she must share her

husband with other women. She feels itunnatura1 to accept such a situation. On the other hand,

a Koryak woman of Siberia, for example, would find it hard to understand how a woman could be

so selfish and so undesirous of feminine companionship in the home as to wish to restrict her

husband to one mate.

(5) Some years ago I met in New York City a young man who did not speak a word of English

and was obviously bewildered by American ways. Byb1ood he was a American for his parents

had gone from Indiana to China as missionaries. Orphaned in infancy, he was reared by a

Chinese family in a remote village. Al1 who met him found him more Chinese than American.

The facts of his blue eyes and light hair were less impressive than a Chinese manner of walking,

Chinese arm and hand movements, Chinese facial expression, and Chinese modes of thought. The

bio1ogica1 heritage was

American, but the cultural training had been Chinese. He returned to China.

(6)A highly inte1li entteacherwith1on and successful experience in the public schools of Chicago

was finishing her first ear in an Indian schoo1. When asked how he Navaho pupils compared in

inte11igence with Chicago youngsters,replied,We11, I just don't know. Sometimes the Indians

seem just as bright. At other times they just act like dumb animals. The other night We had a

dance in the high schoo1. I saw a boy who is one of the best students in my English class standing

off by himself. So I took him over to a pretty glr1 and told him to dance. But they just stood there

with their heads down. They wouldn't even say anything. I inquired if she knew whether or not

they were members of the same clan.What difference would that make?

(7) How would you feel about getting into bed with your brother?The teacher walked off in a fit

of anger, but, actua11y, the two cases were quite comparable in principle. To the Indians the type

of bodily contact involved in our social dancing has a directly sexual connotation. The incest

taboos between members of the same clan are as severe as between true brothers and sisters. The

shame of the Indians at the suggestion that a clan brother and sister should dance and the

indignation of the white teacher at the idea that she should share a bed with an adult brother

represent equally nonrational responses, cu1tura11y standardized unreason.
