Gomera is an island with a surprise , because the people there have two languages -Spanish and a whistle language (口哨语言). Very deep valleys (峡谷)break up the surface of 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 heated .
How did the whistle language begin When European seamen visited the island in 1402 , they found people called Guanches . They raised cattle(牛)for a living . One of them told the seamen an unbelievable story , “Our great king once became very angry with us and cut the tongue (舌头)of every man , woman and child . We had to learn to speak without tongues , and so we invented a whistle language .”When the Spaniards arrived later they found it was quite easy to learn the whistle language , and took it from the Guanches .
The whistle language is very useful on the island . When someone is hurt or ill , the whistle language takes the place of a telephone . For example , if the sick person is a long way from the town , a boy guarding cattle on a hillside could whistle to a man fishing in his coat . The last person is able to describe the problem fully and exactly to the doctor in the town . People help each other in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost .
On Gomera , country people use the whistle language better and more often than people in the town . In fact , town people sometimes “make mistakes” , and give the other person the wrong message . But this language is still alive and will probably go on living for hundreds of years.

( ) 43. How does the writer develop the third paragraph
By giving examples B. By following a time order .
C By giving suggestions D. By following a space order
( ) 44. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of the whistle language

I am Canadian . I started learning French when I was 10 years old . But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom . All of that changed , during my last summer of high school . As a 17-year-old girl ., I flew across the country by myself for the first time ! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family , who didn’t speak any English . And I would learn French at a local school .
On the first day of school , all of us students were given a test to determine (测定)our language level . We were required to speak only French all summer .
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends , seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French . Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning , the whole experience was exciting and refreshing .
On weekends , my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip , we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River . Even though it was raining , we could see huge whales swimming around our boat . The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City . I walked along the stone streets , took pictures of the European-style buildings , and learned some stories there.
Finally my efforts paid off ! At the end of the summer , I was able to communicate pretty well . I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed (沉浸)in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience . And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French .

I’m Li Hua . I’m very happy to share my good learning methods with you .
First , creating a study plan is a good way to study . Making good plans is the first step to success . So we should make a weekly plan for schoolwork and be sure to go over what we have learned on weekends.
Second , taking breaks is helpful . Many students think they can put a lot of information into their heads by sitting down and learning straight for a few hours . However , the more time we spend on our books , the weaker our ability to learn becomes . Use that break time wisely and take a walk to make your brain active .
Not every student is the same . The best way to create good learning methods for students is to try a lot of ways and find out what works on you .
