There is an island called Kitava, way out there in the Pacific Ocean, in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. It is one of the four main Trobriand Islands with a total population of 12,000 native residents. Rich with culture, surrounded on all sides by clear blue water and abundant rainforest, Kitava is as apealing as it is remote. But it has more to offer than good views.

As Byrdie reports, Kitava is also home to a people whose diet and nutritional habits remain healthy, untouched by Western influence. A lifetime of not knowing the sweet, sweet sensation of the salt from a potato chip hitting the roof of your mouth has done more than just spare Kitavans from illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease; it's also given them a lifetime of smooth, acne(痤瘡) - free skin.

In a study of l',200 subjects - including 300 teens and young adults - conducted by a team led by medical doctor and professor Steffan Lindeberg over 843 days, not one breakout was reported. They also found that genetics played little to no role in the results.

In fact, the average Kitavan diet is fairly common. It' s simple, with no " miracle fruit" or " rare nut" to speak of, and Kitavans don' t even exercise much. That diet consists mainly of yams( 山荮) , sweet potatoes, and taro (芋頭) , local fruits (namely coconut) ,fish, and vegetables.

But if you're already pulling out your suitcases and drafting a resignation letter to your boss, you might want to slow your step. For one thing, the closest airport is over 700 miles away from the island, so good luck getting there. And consider this: do you really want to move somewhere where you'll be the only person with acne until the diet kicks in? I don't think so.

1.Which are the contributing factors of attracting visitors to the island?

a. Rich culture . b. Clean white sand c. Thick rainforest

d. Clear blue water e. Romote tribes

A. abc B. acd C. bcd D. ade

2.What accounts for the fact that the Kitavans own good skin?

A. They don't like eating salt. . B. They enjoy varieties of rare fruits.

C. They are sick of exercising. D. They follow simple but healthy diet.

3.What is unlikely to be included in the Kitavans' diet? .

A. Taro B. Fish

C. Potato chips D. Coconut

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Think twice before moving to Kitava.

B. Don’t hesitate to quit your job and move there.

C. One can reach Kitava by plane without difficulty.

D. Anyone will own acne - free skin on stepping on Kitava.
