IV. 阅读理解 A Back in the 1960s, a Harvard graduate student made a great discovery about human anger. At age 34, Jean Briggs was allowed to live in an Inuit community where many Inuit families lived a traditional life. Briggs quickly realized something unusual was going on in these families. “They never got angry with me, and even showing a bit of anger was considered weak and childlike,” Briggs said. For example, once when someone knocked a hot pot of tea across the igloo(冰屋), damaging the ice floor, no one changed their look. “Too bad,” the person just said calmly and went to refill the teapot. Briggs wrote up her observations (观察记录) in her book, Never in Anger. But she was left with questions: How do Inuit parents teach their children this ability? How do the Inuit turn irritable(易怒的) babies into coolheaded adults? After reading Briggs’ book, in early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit, Canada, which is an Inuit town, in search of parenting wisdom, especially when it comes to teaching children to control their feelings. Right off the plane, I started collecting data(数据). I sat with the elders in their 80s and 90s. I talked with moms. And I attended a local parenting class. All the moms mentioned one golden rule: Don’t shout or yell at small children, for it is a tradition among the Inuit to see yelling at a small child as shameful. The elders I spoke with said colonization(殖民) over the past century is harming the tradition, so the community is working hard to keep their parenting methods. Goota Jaw, who teaches the parenting class at Nunavut Arctic College, is in the front line of this effort. “Shouting is not how we teach our children,” Jaw said. “It is just teaching them to run away.” “When we shout at a child, we’re training the child to shout,” said author Laura Markham. “Parents who control their own anger are helping their children learn to do the same.” 1. What did Briggs find about the Inuit? A. They often behaved like children. B. They began to lead a modern lifestyle. C. They developed a habit of drinking tea. D. They were quite able to control their anger. 2. Why did the author go to Iqaluit? A. To study how Briggs wrote Never in Anger. B. To attend a class about the history of the Inuit. C. To find out how the Inuit raise cool headed kids. D. To collect data on education in Inuit communities. 3. What are old Inuit people worrying about? A. Their parenting style is being harmed. B. Colonization will make the Inuit disappear. C. Inuit parents become too kind to their kids. D. Parenting classes are attracting fewer parents. 4. Which would Markham most probably agree with? A. Kids follow the example of parents. B. Teaching kids to be angry is necessary. C. Parents often learn parenting from their kids. D. It is sometimes OK to speak to kids seriously. B Along Kalymnos’ coastline, high cliffs(悬崖) rise from the sea. They caught the eye of Italian climber Andrea Di Bari when he vacationed on the island in 1996. Attracted by the rock’s high quality, he returned the following year with climbing partners to open up 43 routes(路线). Images by photographer Andrea Gallo attracted more climbers’ attention. Then Aris Theodoropoulos, a mountain guide, climbing instructor, and author of the Kalymnos Climbing Guidebook, worked with the locals to see the Aegean island developed into one of the greatest sport climbing spots (地点) in the world. “In 1999 we noticed some strange people, carrying some tools, then we saw them hanging from the rocks,” says George Hatzismalis, head of the local government’s Tourist Office. “Shortly we started looking for what action should be taken for this to grow: opening new routes, protecting them, organizing a climbing festival.” The first festival took place in 2000, and since then there have been 13 more. Today there are about 3,900 routes. “The numbers are continuously growing,” says Lucas Dourdourekas, a top sport climber. “The combination(结合) of the huge walls, the cliffs, the routes with pockets, the great variety and all close to each other... and the amazing sea view while climbing,” he says, “is amazing for climbers from around the world.” Usually some 12,000 climbers arrive each year to challenge their skills and courage. Some have bought houses on the island. “The connection between climbers and islanders is strong,” says Hatzismalis. “Personal relationships are developed; visitors are not strangers.” The government understands the importance of making the rising industry sustainable (可持续的) in the long term. Officials set up the New Route Protocol in 2018 to lower the bad influence on the environment. The islanders see a great future for climbing in Kalynnos. They believe visitors will help safeguard the natural heritage on the island. “The climbers, being environmentally aware, appreciate the untouched natural things,” says Hatzismalis. 5. What did both Bari and Theodoropoulos do for Kalynnos? A. They took many pictures of its coastline. B. They made efforts to protect its high cliffs. C. They helped make it a popular climbing spot. D. They wrote guidebooks on climbing on the island. 6. What did the local government do soon after seeing the strange climbers? A. They provided strong support. B. They warned them about danger. C. They made new laws to protect them. D. They stopped opening up new routes. 7. What do Dourdourekas’ words about Kalynnos show? A. His surprise at the large number of routes. B. His praise for some climbers’ achievements. C. His satisfaction with the local climbing conditions. D. His confidence in the future of sport climbing. 8. What do local people think of the climbers? A. They have broken the peace of the island. B. They have become part of the community. C. They are damaging the environment. D. They help to develop local industries.
