北师大版高中英语模块4--Unit12 Culture Shock 2 [00:01.42]Aboriginal legends, [00:02.91]songs and dances tell of powerful spirits [00:06.34]who created the land and people [00:08.09]during the Dreamtime. [00:10.22]There was no written Aboriginal language and, [00:13.06]in fact, most of the 600 tribes [00:15.11]spoke different dialects [00:17.02]and rarely met except on ceremonial occasions. [00:20.56]The tradition of the Dreamtime, [00:22.10]however, united the people. [00:24.27]Rock paintings showing this creation period [00:26.84]can be found all over the country. [00:29.07]Some of the most spectacular [00:30.71]and best preserved can be seen [00:32.43]at rock galleries in Kakadu National Park [00:35.53]and other parts of Northern Australia. [00:38.10]The arrival of while people gradually brought [00:40.72]an end to the traditional Aboriginal [00:42.56]way of life. [00:43.97]The "new" Australians began to build [00:46.62]and settle on the aboriginal tribal lands. [00:50.31]Today, most Aborigines live in cities [00:53.05]and towns or in settlements near tribal lands. [00:57.36]Few continue the old nomadic way of life. [01:00.45]In recent years, [01:02.06]white Australians have become more sensitive [01:04.52]to the Aborigines'situation. [01:06.70]The result has been an increase [01:08.41]in health and educational servises, [01:10.70]greater recognition of Aboriginal land rights [01:13.67]and a growing appreciation [01:14.99]of Aboriginal culture. [01:16.93]Many museums now dispaly Aboriginal art [01:19.86]and craft as well as musical instruments. [01:21.76]
