| Cultural norms so completely surround
people, so permeate thought and action, that we never recognize the assumptions
on which their lives and their sanity rest. As one observer put it, if birds
were suddenly endowed with scientific curiosity they might examine many things,
but the sky itself would be overlooked as a suitable subject; if fish were to
become curious about the world, it would never occur to them to begin by
investigating water. For birds and fish would take the sky and sea for granted,
unaware of their profound influence because they comprise the medium for every
fact. Human beings, in a similarly way, occupy a symbolic universe governed by
codes that are unconsciously acquired and automatically employed. So much so
that they rarely notice that the ways they interpret and talk about events are
distinctively different A. show that they, too, have their respective cultures B. explain humans occupy a symbolic universe as birds and fish occupy the sky and the sea C. illustrate that human beings are unaware of the cultural codes governing them D. demonstrate the similarity between man, birds, and fish in their ways of thinking [单项选择]Text 5

Exploration of the site, which is located in El Salvador and has been given the name Joya de Ceren, is now in its eighth season, and archaeologists are continuing to make new finds. The volcanic eruption that entombed Ceren more than 1400 years ago began when lava pushed its way close enough to the surface to create a great explosion of steam and ash that was centered just north of the village. The archaeologists have not found the remains of any human beings killed by the eruption in Ceren, suggesting that they had enough warning to flee.
