Very deep valleys break up the surface of the island. A person on one side of a valley cannot easily shout to
24、 a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Even the birds copy the whistle-language. You are nobody if you cannot whistle. How did the whistle-language begin? When European seamen visited the island in 1402, they found tall people with fair hair and blue eyes who called themselves
25、 Guanches. These people raised cattle 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 of every man, woman, and child. We had to learn to speak without tongues, and so we invented a whistle-language.” When the Spaniard
26、s arrived later, they took the whistle-language from the Guanches. The whistle-language is very useful on the island. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle-language takes the place of a telephone. If the sick person is a long way from the town, boys and men pass the news from one to another. For
27、 example, a boy guarding cattle on a hillside could whistle to a man fishing in his boat. 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 whi

32、s Spanish comes from a phrase book, we were the teachers. We left on Thursday night. Once we got off the plane in Madrid the next morning, we searched for a place to change our dollars into Spanish pesetas (货币单位). The real test of our Spanish-speaking ability began as soon as we tried to change our
33、money. The man behind the desk talked as quickly as a Spanish listening test on fast forward. Fortunately, all the other Spanish people we met were happy to slow down and repeat themselves. Our first stop was El Retiro, the former summer palace of the Spanish royal family, which had become Madrids C
34、entral Park. My sister and I had long looked at pictures of El Retiro in our textbooks.

35、onalds. But, we reminded him of our promise to experience Spanish culture, and that included its food. We got back to Madrid in time to mail postcards.

36、 on our journey to Spain, we realised we had spoken more Spanish in two days than we would have during two weeks of Spanish class. And, when our Spanish ability and sign language failed, we survived without the help of a Spanish teacher. 1Why did the author choose Spain as their travel destination?
