92. The following is taken from an editorial in a local newspaper.
“Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 5 cents apiece for lemons, but today it commonly charges over 30 cents apiece. In only one of these last eleven years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then, citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from continuing to inflate prices.”
AI 131. “We can learn more about a society by observing how its people spend their leisure time than by observing them at work.”

1、Warao部落妇女的恸哭forum （长）
这一篇有些关键单词我不认识，所以就没看太懂，我现在记得的需要知道的单词有：lamentation, mourning, idle talk, 想起来再补充吧。
P1-话说语言学家开始研究妇女通过控制不同的声音和语调来传达自己的感情和influence the authority。他们研究了一个Warao部落的妇女恸哭礼，就是妇女在有人死了以后会通过唱歌和恸哭的形式表现出死者或者该妇女本身对于当权者的态度。
P2-说妇女没有什么参政的权利，只有通过这种哭诉的形势来参与部落管理。然后好像是说如果一个部落有人死了，那事发现场就会停止一切运作，摆出论坛forum，死者的女性家属（或者一个妇女？忘记了）就会开始恸哭控诉什么的。然后讲到有一个女人的儿子死了，她在哭诉的时候就模仿她儿子生前的样子，讲当权者的discussion都是idle talk。（有题）另外妇女也可以表达irony的态度，好像也举了个例子，忘记了。
P3-最后一段讲到妇女哭诉也是会产生社会作用。举例说有一个部落的一个人死于什么什么，一个女人哭诉是说是临近部落干的。于是从那以后临近部落的人都不准到该部落来。
这一篇现在看来不难，但我有几个关键词不懂就很惨了。
2 TEMPLE
Recently, researchers are able to date the using Tech U230 and U238. Sth from coral near the beach is used in the wall of temple. Scientist date with materials extract from both the coral in the sea and the coral material in the wall.(part of the except Q2 here)
Because the coral can absorb U230 and U238(I think from the sea. None of them in the air)
It proves that many temples shows up in a short period of time. Temples were used as a center to control the production and collect surplus foods. Therefore, prove there is a sudden society change in this period and it confers what oral history said and。最(证明夏威夷社会政治的发展比预想快 topic pretty sure ).
Q1:TOPIC证明夏威夷社会政治的发展比预想快 topic
Q2: CAN INFER EXCEPT
a) is Hawaii society formed by the king religious?
b) why scientist can not prove Hawaii happened in a single period of history originally?
Awn: the material is used in the wall is for structure soundness?
Haiwaii- Maui Temple & dating Uranium & Orthonium-230 (3Q’s) 夏威夷发展的测定
Blah blah blah, although it has always been thought that a rapid sociopolitical changes occurred in a period under 250 years between C14 & C15. As accord to oral histories that is preserved and handed down. However, the inadequacies of dating stood in the way and there is no certainty to prove the oral history correct.
Recent improvement in technology has made such predictions possible. It has been discovered that the uranium-230 that is absorbed by the coral branches and its corresponding decay to othorium-230 provides an accurate method for gauging the actual dates. The coral branches are used on the temple pillars for decoration and ornaments. The temple is used a centre for communication and trade, to control the production and collection of surplus foods. It is also the centre for political and social control, allowing organization and structure. Hence it is quite possible that all these rudiments of a sociopolitical construct may serve in one generation. If so, then the oral histories are correct, and significant sociopolitical changes occurred under the leadership of King Maui in one single generation.
