This art of communication has taken centuries to develop.The village of Kuskoy spreads out across two hillsides that are separated by a deep valley.The villagers had to find an easy way to communicate where their voices couldn’t carry.They developed a high-pitched (高音的) whistle language that could be transmitted as far as five miles through air.As a result, Kuskoy, which means “bird village” in Turkish, has come to be known as a whistler’s paradise (乐园).
Whistling is so much part of everyday life in Kuskoy that men and women speak, argue, and court (求爱) in whistles.The story was recently told of a young couple who ran away secretly.The news was sent over the “mountain telephone” by whistling.The lover’s adventure was quickly known to all the villagers.
It is little wonder, then, that the children of Kuskoy study whistling in school.Wouldn’t it be fun to start the school day with a song—whistled of course!
小题1:The children of Kuskoy learn to whistle because __ _.
A.it is fun | B.it is an important way to communicate |
C.it helps them learn to sing | D.it is like the Turkish language |
A.recently | B.hundreds of years ago |

B.The parents were too ready to allow the young couple to marry each other. |

Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
小题1:The passage tries to highlight the importance of _________.
A.body size | B.attitudes toward life |
C.culture difference | D.different beauty standards |
A.All the problems. | B.All the properties. |
C.The whole world. | D.The absolute truth. |
A.The author is a Samoan. |
B.The author succeeded in losing weight. |
C.The author has been troubled by her/ his weight. |
D.The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents. |
A.They feel angry about the regained weight. |
B.They are indifferent to the regained weight. |
C.They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control. |
D.They think they should give up their future plans on weight control. |
My father told me a bit about his career growth from a poor boy to a very successful businessman. He had got a lot through his hard work.
