For the last three nights, I haven’t slept too well. 1. I wake up an hour earlier than normal and then I’m unable to get back to sleep, I was a bit tired when I went into my bedroom to watch TV this evening. I picked up a book and tried to read, but could feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Finally, I closed them and laid my book on the table. Suddenly I felt something rousing（唤醒）me. It was warm breath hitting me right in the face. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a long, sweet-looking face covered in white and gold fur. Its pink nose was breathing on me and its big, brown eyes were looking at me with love.

I smiled and said, “Hello Fluffy.” Suddenly my face was covered in dog kisses. I hugged his neck, and laughed as he continued to show me with his love. I thought to myself   “2. If only we humans could love each other as purely（纯真地）as our dogs love us. and how wonderful that would be.”

3. Dogs are our best friends and greatest teachers of love. We should not forget their lessons. We should give our hearts freely and our love joyfully. We should live our lives on the side of love.

27、La Gomera is one of a few places in the world which has a whistled (口哨) language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistled language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley cannot easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear the other whistlers.

We can understand why the whistled language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistled language takes the place of the telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost.

The whistled language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in different parts of a country. But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.

【1】Why did the whistled language begin in La Gomera?

A．There were many deep valleys on the island.

B．The people on the island had good ears.

C．The people on the island had good teeth.

D．The whistlers could be heard four miles away.

【2】We can probably learn ________ from Para. 2

A．what people think of the island

B．how people pass messages

C．who continues the whistled language

D．where people learn the whistled language

【3】The underlined word “nobody” in Para. 3 probably means _________.

A．an unreal person

B．an unlucky person

C．an unhappy person

D．an unknown person

【4】What may be the best title of this passage?

A．Whistlers, Passers on an Island

B．Lo Gomera, a Famous Island

C．Reasons, the Start of a Whistled Language

D．Whistling, a Special Language that committee.
