In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforest
s of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (种族的)
36 called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any
37 of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hun
ted animals and
38 fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of
stone, lived in
39 and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they
40 became world famous. After that, there were TV
41 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not
42 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world
43 about them.
In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey
44 thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was
45 killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten
46 and found the caves of the Tasaday
47 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all
48 jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority
49 .
When he
50 to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not
51 from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to
52 they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start
53 into the region.
One group of experts said that they really were people who had no
54 with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just
55 the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.
