Clay is important because it is used to make containers of all kinds．Workers add water to soften clay．This makes it．easier to form. into shapes by machine．Then it is heated to a very high temperature．The result is a container that．will last for many years． In many countries，clay was formed from volcanoes(火山＞．This．kind of clay usually contains many minerals(矿物质)．So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter that those used for non—volcanic clay．The fires may be as hot，as 1400℃．The high temperature should not be reached too fast SO that the containers can be dried slowly．You can add some materials to clay to gain desired results．For example，you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming on the surface of the final product．But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans．Instead，you should use sand from rivers or other areas． Clay often exists in fields covered with some water．The clay will be found about one meter below the ground．．River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface．Clay is very shiny when it is wet．You can also take some of the material and add enough water to it．Then press it in your．hands until it is about the size of an egg．It is probably clay if it holds together when you stop pressing． What’s the difference between volcanic clay and non-volcanic day？
A.Volcanic clay call be found in very few countries．
B.Non-volcanic clay can be dried more quickly．
C.Non-volcanic clay makes better containers．

Often enough the craft worker's place of employment in ancient Greece was set in
rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near
their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement. At Corinth and
Athens, however, two of the best-known potters' quarters were situated on the cities'
(5) outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within
the city of Athens itself. The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before
the Greek period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration,
for example, in the interplay of black and other giazes with the red surface of the fired pot.
Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather
(10) than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.; its distinctive color and luster
were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln's temperature during an extended
three-stage period if firing the clayware. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters
who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were
usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized the they
(15) did not share in the concerns of the other.
The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to
Confine themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage
Jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C.
Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine
(20) ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of
pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create
particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for
other products such as roof tiles, which were needed in some quantity, they were used to
facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted
(25) pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means-as numerous featureless statuettes and
unattractive cases testify.
The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its
A．production techniques
B．similarity to other crafts
C．unusual materials
D．resemblance to earlier pottery

A．whether there is a steep decline in food aid since the 1990s.
