阅读理解

    This summer holiday, my family and I went to Beijing for a vacation. We went to many places of interest. My favorite one was Peking University.

    Peking University is one of the best universities in China. We entered the school from the east gate. There are many traditional buildings at the university. The Boya Pagoda is a typical example of traditional Chinese architecture(建筑). We then walked to the Weiming Lake. The lake is a popular spot at the university. The word "weiming" means "without being named" in Chinese. Many students like to walk around the lake. During the winter, the lake is frozen.

    There are museums at the university. We really enjoyed the beautiful campus and rich history of Peking University. I hope I can be admitted to Peking University when I grow up.

What did people do to communicate in ancient times? Here are some very interesting answers to this question.

Alphorns(阿尔卑斯长号角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy, too. So, alphorns are hard work to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen(牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they're mostly used as musical instruments.

The people of La Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled(口哨) language called el silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilorneters, which means it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El silbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to leave it.

Did you know it 's also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal(信号) tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires, too. In this way, messages about the enemy's arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.
