In the American colonies, Benjamin Franklin worked as a printer; from his work, he clearly understood
how difficult and costly it was to make books. However, he and his friends really enjoyed reading and
wanted to get hold of as many books as they could.

One of Franklin’s good ideas, and he had many good ideas, was to set up a club where people could
share their books. The 50 members who joined the club when it was started in 1732 donated books and

Reading Text: Questions 70-75

The Hopi are part of the Pueblo Indian culture. Today they live in northeastern Arizona, at the edge of
the Painted Desert. Something that sets the Hopi culture off from other cultures is that it is in some
senses a maternal than a paternal culture.

The Hopi are divided into clans, or families, along maternal lines, and as a result a child becomes a
member of the mother’s clans rather than the father’s. In addition, ownership of property, such as land
and houses, passes from mother to daughter instead of from father to son, as it does in other Native
American cultures. However, women do not have all the power in this culture. Societal authority still
rests in the hands of men, but that authority does pass to men from their mothers.

A. the Hopi are one type of Pueblo Indian
