C

La Gomera is the only place in the world which has a whistle( 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 whistle 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 whis?tlers 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 other whistlers.

We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very use?ful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of 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 down or a cow is lost.

The whistle language is hundreds of years old* and probably it wilt con?tinue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the spe?cial 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 is?land, people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空fl处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his or her life, he or she might write in his or her diary. Now a teenager with the same problems may go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. Ia many ways* a diary and a blog are almost the same. So, what makes^ a blog different from a diary?                     12  Usually, a teenager treats his or her diary as a book full of secrets. It's interesting that someone who writes in a blog instead of a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not stud?ying enough for her chemistry exam.13Then, after I finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was worried that my sister might read it!

Because a blog is such a public way of writing, it has both good and bad points. 14 If I am angry with a friend during school and write some?thing bad about her in my diary, she will never know. However, if my sister writes something bad about a friend, that friend may read her blog and get angry. 15

A blog has good points, of course. 16People choose to write in blogs because they know that their friends will read what they write. If I am feeling sad one day and write in my diary, "Nobody cares about me," no one will know about it. However, if my sister writes the same words in her blog, her best friends will quickly reply and tell her how much they like her.

If people are careful about what they write, writing blogs is a very good way to write about everyday life. However, I still prefer my old diary!

A. So we have to be very careful of what we write.

B. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but only in my diary.

C. The biggest problem with a blog is that anyone can read what you write.

D. The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary.

E. Everyone intends to keep his own secret.

F. Blogs help people stay in contact with their friends and hear what the people around them are doing.

G. When we write a diary we usually write down what we have done or how we think of others.
