[河南信阳高级中学2021高二月考]The unusual whistled language used as a means of communication by villagers in remote areas and mountainous northern Turkey has been added to the UNESCO Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The language is a highly developed high-pitch system of whistling to communicate in rugged(崎岖的)areas where people mostly cannot see each other.
It can allow people to communicate across great distances,up to 5 pared with other similar whistled languages in Spain's Canary Islands,in Mexico,or in Greek villages,it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.
This unusual form of communication,which dates back some 500 years,to the Ottoman Empire,was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions.
But 50 years ago,it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular(蜂窝式的)mobile systems has put this cultural heritage under serious threat.
For centuries, the language has been passed on from grandparents to parents, from parents to children. Now, though, many of its most skilful speakers who use their tongue, teeth and fingers are aging and becoming physically weak. Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words, and in a few generations it may be gone for good.
"Our bird language is very convenient and efficient to communicate across the valleys. It has many benefits over yelling, which is bad for our throats," said Avni Kocek, head of the "bird village". Kocek added, "Despite setbacks because of technology, the bird language is still used by many of us. Whistled language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival.”
Besides,the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instil(逐步培养)the practice in younger generations.

Tips for Successful Gift Giving Good gift giving is an art. The perfect present can lighten one's mood or cement a relationship. Whatever the occasion,gift giving is a social ritual that requires careful thought and consideration. 1 Here are some useful tips for gift giving.
Don't add a small gift to a big gift. When we receive gifts in a bundle,we tend to unconsciously average out their value,so a small gift tacked(附加)onto a big one will hurt the latter's impact. 2
3 Taking a dream vacation or seeing your favourite artist in a concert will give you memories that last forever. Experiences often have more thought going into them, and they create more vivid memories. We might remember the tablet that a friend or a loved one has bought us, but not as much as a two-week holiday to Florida-the memories and the emotional attachment to experiences are greater than to physical objects.
Think like the receiver. 4 That might seem obvious, but it happens far less than we'd like. People tend to use gifts as jokes and encouragements to change one's ways, or to signal something about themselves rather than providing utility or happiness for the receiver.
Remember there's a reason why we say that it's the thought that counts. 5 Most people don't want lots of money spent on them-they just want you to think about them, and that can be done in lots of easy ways.
A. Give things you like best.
B. So there are a set of rules to follow.
C. Give experiences rather than things.
D. Don't forget why you are giving gifts.
E. Buy things your receiver would buy for themselves.
F. When you give others gifts, never forget to choose the expensive things.
G. When it comes to gift giving, remember that sometimes less is more.

[江苏G4联考2021高三期末调研]阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eggs,bacon,bagels,and croissants(羊角面包)—her favourite meal of the day sat right in front of her telling her to have more,probably just this one day. Her hand reached out for the last croissant. "STOP,"said her mind;"PLEASE,” begged the nineteen-year-old heart. Annie could feel the tyres around her waist,weighing her down,emotionally and physically. She pulled her hand back,eyeing the inviting croissant,which would have been hers,if only she had not decided to follow her dream,a dream which seemed beyond her reach.
But there she was. She wanted it,and wanted it badly,a fantasy of a teenager to fit into the beautiful peacock blue swimsuit. A trip had been planned,to the sunny beaches,by a group of friends,and the trip included her.
She used to sit depressedly,listening to her slim friends discuss about the kind of clothes they purchased,and how smart each of their skirts was,and how beautiful they looked. She wanted to see their expressions change from surprise to admiration,so she decided to go on a diet and take fitness courses.
Weeks passed,and her patience started to die away. The fat was stubborn and refused to melt fast,but the time went fast. No matter how less she ate,she still looked awfully plump(胖乎乎的),which annoyed her,and she was ready to call it quits. She sat on her bed and wept the entire evening,ignoring her dinner. Her tears dried up,and she lay down on her bed staring at the ceiling,letting random thoughts pass through her mind. Then she heard two women talking outside her window. She heard one woman saying,"My child is special,and every child is a gift. It doesn't matter what's on the outside,and the inner self is what matters."

【参考范文】
Curious,Annie got up and looked out of her window. There,sitting by the woman's feet,was a boy playing with a Rubik's Cube,his face twisting with each turn of the cube and his eyes fixed on the colourful object. Despite his plain face,there was something angelic about this boy when he showed his mother the finished cube. The mother smiled at him as if he had been the most handsome boy in the world.
Annie turned her eyes away from the scene and saw her own figure in the mirror. Yes,she was plump and her face was chubby. But she was healthy and her skin was rosy. With loving starry eyes and curly hair, she looked almost like some lady from a classic portrait. Mum once said when she played Beethoven on the piano in her purple dress, she looked like a real princess. She smiled at her reflection, first uncertainly and then with more confidence. She made a new decision. She would throw her "dream" into the dustbin. After all, a girl doesn't have to fit into a swimsuit to be beautiful.
