Train-spotting

　　Many people around the world have seen Danny Boyle’s movie Train spotting starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us really know what train-spotting is all about?Now this is not considered cool in town and the word “train-spotter” in Britain is related to “geek” or “nerd”(someone who seems very ridiculous)．But is this reputation really deserved?

　　First of all, let’s see what train-spotting is．It is said that there are some 100, 000 train spotters in the UK．Exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the number of each train that leaves and arrives and write it down．The eventual aim is to have seen every train in the country．

　　Being crazy about railways and trains is not modern and it dates back to 1804．As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow?Is this any stranger than people who love cars?

　　So, what do you need to be a train-spotter?Well, all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers．Other equipment(装备)includes hot tea in a thermos, a camera and some sandwiches for those long afternoons spent on train platforms when you don’t want to risk the delights of railway station food．

　　It’s interesting to note that despite the “bad name” of train-spotting, there have been famous railway lovers in history, such as Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed them regularly, especially The 39 Steps．There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a strange phenomenon(现象)in Britain．

　　One glance at the US train stations should be enough to convince you that train-spotters there are alive and well．In America, they try to call rail lovers “train-fans” and talk of “train-fanning”．Don’t let this fool you－these people are train spotters and there are a lot of them．Each month, two million pages are visited on the website TrainWeb．org．

　　Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle(口哨)language．We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island．But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language．There are many deep valleys(峡谷)on the island．A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side．But he can whistle and be heard．Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles．The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well．They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers．

　　We can understand why the whistle language continues．It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn．When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone．If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another．A boy guarding cattle(放牛)on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat．The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town．People help one another in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost．

　　The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more．Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country．But on Comera you are nobody if you cannot whistle．Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions．

[　　]

[　　]
A．	killed the special way of speaking
B．	whistled all the news and opinions

[　　]
A．	It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle．
