Standardized Test PracticeDirections: Read the paragraphs below, and then answer the question on the following slide.

The ancient Greeks held the Olympic Games in Olympia every four years. The games were a religious festival in honor of Zeus, the Greeks’ chief god. Trading and wars stopped while the games took place. The first Greek calendar began with the supposed date of the first Olympic Games in 776 B.C.

Athletes came from all over the Greek-speaking world to compete. Only male athletes, however, were allowed to take part, and women were not permitted even as spectators. Olympic events at first consisted only of a footrace. Later, the broad jump, the discus throw, boxing, and wrestling were added. The Greeks crowned Olympic winners with wreaths of olive leaves and held parades in their honor.

F The Greeks stressed group effort over individual achievements.G The Greeks believed in one god.H The Greeks were not religious.J The Greeks encouraged individual glory.

Test-Taking Tip: Read all the choices carefully before choosing the one that correctly describes Greek culture. Eliminate answers that you know are incorrect. For example, all the Olympic events were performed by individuals, not by teams. Therefore, answer F does not describe Greek culture. The question is asking for the statement that DOES describe Greek culture.

A medieval manor had a traditional economy in which jobs and skills were handed down generation after generation. For example, a tenant farmer’s son became a farmer. The children of serfs had no choice but to learn the skills of their parents. Serfs were not always farmers, however. Some were millers who made flour out of grain, or coopers who made barrels and buckets. Some were blacksmiths and made tools, weapons, or horseshoes out of iron and other metals. Young women were usually married by age 14 and worked at home and in the fields.

Cultures throughout the world have based their dating systems on significant events in their history. For example, Islamic countries use a dating system that begins with Muhammad’s flight from Makkah to Madinah. For most Western cultures, the dating system is based on the birth of Jesus. Christians refer to Jesus as “Christ.”

Using B.C. and A.D.

Page 117: Chapter 4 Europe—Early History Chapter 4 Europe—Early History

Learning the Skill About 515, a Christian monk developed a system that begins dating from anno Domini, Latin for “the year of the Lord.” Although some historians believe that the monk made a small mistake in his figuring of the exact year of Christ’s birth, his system of dating has lasted. Events before the birth of Christ, or “B.C.,” are figured by counting backward from A.D. 1. There was no year “0.” The year before A.D. 1 is 1 B.C. Notice that “A.D.” is written before the date, while “B.C.” is written following the date.
