我们常遇到这样的情况：句子都能看懂，但读完文章印象却不深。这就牵涉到对文章的整体理解。首先，我们要重视文章的题目和首句。文章的题目是文章的主题，文章的内容就是围绕这一主题展开的；而首句是文章的导入，点明作者写作意图或写作背景。文章的每个段落的首句和尾句也是整体理解的关键，首句是开篇明义，而尾句常常是画龙点睛。
因此，我们在阅读时要养成这样一个习惯：见了文章的题目，要停顿一下，想一想这篇文章大概写的什么。阅读时，要特别注意每段的第一句与最后一句，并用心记住。读完全文后要将全文的主要内容快速回忆一下，这样既把握了文章的主要内容和框架结构，又学会了作者的逻辑推理的方法，从而更好地理解这篇文章。

Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle (口哨) language.① 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.② 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.
根据文章内容，选择正确答案：
1. If a person on Comera island is ill, ____.
A. others will phone the doctors in town
B. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor
C. his family will take him to the hospital
D. people will take him to town by carriage
2. From this passage we know radio and TV ____ at that time.
A. killed the special way of speaking
B. whistled all the news and opinions
C. helped Comera people to communicate
D. did not appear on Comera island yet
3. Comera island is special in that____ .
A. many visitors go there every year
B. no visitors have ever been there
C. people there have special ears to hear whistles
D. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle.
B. The whistle language can only be found in Comera.
C. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.
