The way in which people use social space reflects their social relationships and their ethnic identity. Children often sleep with parents, and brothers or sisters share a bed. Early immigrants to America from Europe brought with them a collective style of living, which they retained until late in the 18th century. Historical records document a group-oriented existence, in which one room was used for eating, entertaining guests, and sleeping. People ate soups from a communal pot, shared drinking cups, and used a common pit toilet. In Mexico, the meaning and organization of domestic space is strikingly different. With the development of ideas about individualism, people soon began to shift to the use of individual cups and plates and the use of private toilets. They began to build their houses with separate rooms to entertain guests, separate bedrooms for sleeping, separate work areas, and separate bathrooms.

Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence.

The central role of women in horticultural (农耕) societies tends to have political and sociological consequences. It is the women who own and manage their garden plots and pass them on to the next generation. It is the women who decide when their soil is depleted and where the village should move to clear more fertile ground. One of the more interesting aspects of horticultural societies is that it is often women who exercise political power and authority in their society. Anthropologists (人类学家) and travellers alike call attention to the special standing and respect that women enjoy in Austronesian cultures generally and the Philippines in particular. The honored position of women in Austronesian and Philippine society, more than likely, remains a legacy (遗产) from their, not so distant, horticultural prehistory.
