    Thousands of years ago，all people had to collect seeds and plants to eat. They did not know how to farm or keep animals for food．As they used stone tools and weapons(武器)then, we call them the Stone Age people.

    There are people who still live in places that are hard to reach. Because they have met few people from the outside world, they do not know about modern inventions. They have not traded ways of doing things with others．

    For 25,000 years, groups of people have lived alone in the middle of Australia. One of these

groups is the Arunta tribe(部落). They do not know how to farm, nor do they keep sheep or cows.

The Aruntas spend most of their time searching for food and water. The men hunt animals with stone-tipped spears(矛). The women and children look for roots, seeds, and nuts. They use  sticks to dig up the roots．Several Arunta families live together. They have no houses. At night,

they sleep around the small fires.

Now other peoples are moving into the centre of Australia. In time，the Aruntas will no longer

be Stone Age people.
