In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them coral(珊瑚) islands.A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water.
There is a little round lake inside the island. If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.
If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought to it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island. The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.

Are you still doing the V for victory sign? It's out. The latest popular hand gesture（手势）is to curl both of your hands and put them together to make a heart—shape. Known as “hand heart”, many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber , Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in recent photos. “The heart — hand gesture means something between …I love you? and …thank you?, ”said the country singer Taylor Swift.”It?s a sweet, simple message which you can send without saying a word.”
Taylor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts. And she is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular.
Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that.
“It used to take longer for nonverbal（不用语言的）culture to move. But now ,with smart phones and the Internet, it's much faster,” said Patti Wood, an American language expert. In the Republic of Korea, the hand heart has been popula r for a long time, in a different way. People there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. It means: “I love you.”
67. When we want to express ideas, we often move our hands to mean something besides language. Do you know the meaning of this gesture Ｖ?
A．Good luck. B．We've won. C．Everything is all right. D．Best wishes.
68. Who is the first to make the heart — hand gesture popular?
A．Justin Bieber B．Blake Lively C．Patti Wood D．Taylor Swift
69. A charity show is a show that is put on to _____________________.
A．help the people in need B．make a gesture popular
C．express your love or thanks D．show your special gesture
70. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Smart phones and the Internet are improving fast.
B. Smart phones and the Internet used to take longer time in use.
C. It's much easier for nonverbal culture to reach more people.
