8．Ever since I was a small girl in school，I've been aware of what the school textbooks say about Indians．I am an Indian and，naturally，am interested in what the schools teach about natives of this land．
One day，I read that a delicacy（美味） of American Indian people was dried fish，which，according to the textbook，tasted"like an old shoe，or was like chewing on dried leather．"To this day I can remember my surprise，my anger and my sadness at reading these words．We called this wind-dried fish"sleet-shus"，and to us，it was our favorite delicacy and，indeed，did not  taste like shoe leather，and didn't rot our teeth and bring about the various dietary problem that trouble Indian people in modern times．It took many hours of long and hard work to cure the fish in just this particular fashion．Early fur traders and other non-Indians must have agreed，for they often had this food as they traveled around isolated areas．
I brought the textbook home to show it to my father，leader of my tribe at that time．On this particular day，he told me in his wise and modest manner that the outside world did not understand Indian people，and that I should not let it prevent me from learning the good parts of education．
At a later time in my life，I had brought a group of Indian people to the country fairgrounds to sell Indian-made arts and crafts．My group was excited to make some money by selling Indian handicrafts．We thanked the man who showed us to our booth and told him it was nice of him to remember the people of the Indian community．The man expanded a little and remarked that he liked Indian people．"In fact，"he went on to state，"we are bringing some professional Indians to do the show!"[
As we stood there in shock，listening to this uninformed outsider，I looked at my  Indian companion，an eighty-year-old woman who could well remember the great chiefs of the tribe who once owned all the land of this country before the white man came bringing"civilization"，which included diseases and pollution．My friend said not a word，but took the hurt as Indian people have done for many years．
Of course，we all knew that the"professional Indian"were not Indians at all，but dressed in leather and dancing their own dances．And，anyway，how does one become a"professional Indian"？
45．Which of the following statements about"sleet-shus"is true？D

4．What do you，the trees，and a bird have in common？（71）B All living things must have water to survive，whether they get it from a water fountain，a rain cloud，or a little bottle attached to the side of a bird cage．
（72）C Water makes up more than half of your body weight and a person can't survive for more than a few days without it．Why？Your body has lots of important jobs and it needs water to do many of them．For instance，your blood，which contains a lot of water，carries oxygen to all the cells of your body．Without oxygen，those tiny cells would die and your body would stop working．
Water is also in lymph，a fluid（流体） that is part of your immune syst（免疫系统），which helps you fight off illness．（73）A Water is needed for digestive juices，urine，and poop．And you can bet that water makes up most of sweat．
In addition to being an important part of the fluids in your body，each cell depends on water to function normally．
（74）E Any fluid you drink will contain water，but water and milk are the best choices．Lots of foods contain water，too．（75）G You could probably tell that if you've ever bitten into a peach or pear and felt the juices dripping down your chin!Vegetables，too，contain a lot of water-think of biting into a fat tomato from the garden．

A．You need water to digest your food and get rid of waste，too．
B．You all need water．
C．Without water，your body would stop working properly．
D．How much is enough？
E．Your body doesn't get water only from drinking water．
F．When you drink is also important．
G．Fruit contains quite a bit of water．
