Before the development of phones, the natives of the island of La Gomera were able to use a whistled language to communicate with each other from mountain peak to mountain peak. It is known as the Silbo Gomero.

Invented by the island's natives-Guanches, the Silbo Gomero was the only form that they used to communicate with others far away until the first half of the 20th century. During the 16th century, it was taught to Spanish settlers. Then it spread to other neighbouring islands and was used by much more people.

The whistled language has a vocabulary of over 4,000 words. The difficulty of this language lies in the fact that it replaces the five vowels of Spanish language with two clearly different whistles and twenty-two consonants of it with other four different whistles. People can tell the differences of the whistles according to how high or low the sound is and whether they are interrupted or continued.

However, with the rise of modern communications, the special language was dying out, and by the later half of the 20th century very few people still knew how to whistle in this manner. Luckily, the local government has managed to reverse this situation, mainly through laws that make it a required subject in schools across the island of La Gomera. Gradually, it is developed and practised by a large number of people. In 2009, the Silbo Gomero was claimed to be an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Nowadays, the Silbo Gomero is also used during festivals and ceremonies. To prevent it from disappearing, the native people continue to make great effort. Although there's not a special visitor center to appreciate the amazement of the whistled language, that is not to say it won't be one in the future.

34. According to the passage, the Silbo Gomero was invented to ____________.

A. attract Spanish settlers           B. spread ideas to other islands

C. encourage the use of phones      D. communicate over long distance

35. The underlined word "reverse" in Paragraph 4 means ____________.

A. change      B. study      C. face       D.describe

36. Which of the following is TRUE about the whistled language?

A. It has almost the same vocabulary as Spanish.

B It was taught to Spanish settlers 200 years ago.

C. There has been a special center for visitors to appreciate it.

D. People can tell the differences by the features of its sounds.

37. What's the writing purpose of the writer?

A. To encourage people to visit La Gomera

B. To spread the Silbo Gomero all over world.

C. To introduce some facts of the Silbo Gomero

D. To tell the stories of the natives of La Gomera

C

Bad things happen to many of us. Something makes you sad, angry, frustrated or disappointed. But you still have to get up and go to work. Everything others say to you sounds stupid. Everyone seems to annoy you from time to time. Luckily, you can do something about it. Here are some ways to turn around a bad day.

Accepting that you're in a bad mood is not that hard. If you're mad, be mad. If you are sad, be sad. This does not give you license to be rude and unpleasant to others. It just means that you need to recognize and accept your bad mood to be able to do something.

You can try to keep your bad mood a secret and put on your happy mask. But guess what! You're fooling nobody around you but yourself. The best thing to do is to tell the people you work closely with what is happening to you. Just simply tell them "Listen, I'm in a really bad mood today. I'm not sure why, but it has nothing to do with you. If I bite your head off. I say sorry in advance."

Spend a few moments trying thinking of at least one or two things that aren't all bad: Something that you look forward to, such as a person you like at work or something nice that happened recently.

Take some quiet time. Have a walk in your lunch break. Sit and work somewhere peaceful alone. Take a relaxing long bathroom break. Consider going home early or taking the day off.

38. If you're in a bad mood, you should ____________.

A. be rude     B. be unhappy    C.accept it    D.be angry

39. The underlined phrase "bite your head off" means ____________.

A. make your head hurt          B. am mad at you

C. can't understand you         D. am not angry with you

40. What's the structure of this passage?

41. The passage mainly tells us ____________.

A. how to get used to a bad mood

B. how to deal with your bad mood

C. everyone has bad days

D. bad days are not bad

D

Mr. Watson's store sold many different things. Every day, Jess came to the store and he loved to look at the pipes. One pipe especially caught his eye. He imagined that some day he would be a grown man and could smoke a pipe, just like his father that he didn't remember.

Jess reached out and touched the pipe. He kept thinking that when he was old enough, he would go to work and his mother could stay home. He would not have to wait three hours after school until she came.home from her job. Oh, why? He wondered, did it take so long to grow up and take his father's place.

He looked around the store and put the bowl of the pipe in his hand. He just wanted to get the feel of it- nothing more.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around quickly. It was Mr. Watson, the friendly store owner.

"Hello, Jess," Mr. Watson smiled, and kept on walking. Jess struggled to answer but could not get his voice up. He swallowed and smiled back weakly.

The store seemed extremely warm. Jess watched his feet begin to move and take him out of the store. Like sleepwalking, he moved towards the ground. He looked around and saw the empty swing. Sitting on the swing, a sharp pain caught him in the stomach. He knew it was the pipe he felt. He had walked out of the store with it!

The sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A bot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. He remembered the nice way she said, "You're a little man now, Jess." Her trust in him was all he could think about now. The pipe and its magic power meant nothing. His dream of growing up meant nothing.

Looking at the long shadows of the trees coming towards him, Jess now knew what he had to do. He jumped out of the swing and started running. His feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. Mr. Watson was just inside the door. Suddenly and blindly he held out the pipe. Mr. Watson gently took the pipe from the boy's hand and patted him on the

shoulder. Jess felt the warmth of Mr Watson's big hand, and felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.

42. Jess loved to look at the pipes because he ____________.

A. had a great interest in collecting them

B. treated them as a symbol of grown-ups

C. considered they were worth lots of money

D. thought his farther liked them very much

43. How did Jess's feelings change?

A. hopeful-frightened-regretful-relaxed

B nervous-pleased-excited-afraid

C. afraid-glad-regretful-hopeful

D. happy-frightened-relaxed-sorry

44. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Jess missed his father so much that he looked at the pipe every day

B. Jess's mother knew that he had taken the pipe from the store.

C. Jess had taken out the pipe of the store but he didn't really want to.

D. Jess kept the pipe for himself just because he liked it very much.

45. Why did Jess return the pipe at last? (at least 40 words)
