(B)

Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell.He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed.In other words, we learn our looks ---- we are not born with them.A baby has generally unformed face features.A baby, according to Birdwhistle, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around ---- family and friends.This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics.The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after.In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set.For many, this can be well into grown-ups.A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike.We learn our looks from those around us.This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas.In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently.In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less.Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta.People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than do people in small towns.

48.People who live _____ _ are more friendly

In some remote Turkish village of Kuskoy, whistling is as important as talking.In fact, whistling is talking because the villagers speak and sing by whistling.Kuskoy parents begin to teach their boys and girls the language of whistling about the time the children learn to talk.It is considered so important that the village school includes it as one of the subjects taught along with the Turkish language.

This art of communication has taken centuries to develop.The village of Kuskoy spreads out across two hillsides that are separated by a deep valley.The villagers had to find an easy way to communicate where their voices couldn't carry.They developed a high-pitched (高音的) whistle language that could be transmitted as far as five miles through air.As a result, Kuskoy, which means "bird village" in Turkish, has come to be known as a whistler's paradise (乐园).

Whistling is so much part of everyday life in Kuskoy that men and women speak, argue, and court (求爱) in whistles.The story was recently told of a young couple who ran away secretly.The news was sent over the "mountain telephone" by whistling.The lover's adventure was quickly known to all the villagers.

It is little wonder, then, that the children of Kuskoy study whistling in school.Wouldn't it be fun to start the school day with a song-whistled of course!

49.The children of Kuskoy learn to whistle because __ _.

A.it is fun B.it is an important way to communicate

C.it helps them learn to sing D.it is like the Turkish language

50.In Kuskoy, whistling as a way of talking started __ _.

Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water.Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot(行李箱).

Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank."Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr. Johnson said."I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in."

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot.Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life.It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came."

It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot.Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock.Fifteen minutes passed by."It was the only chance I had.Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up."

His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates.Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours."Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night.The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
