It lies in the middle of Lake Donika, and is 3,900 metres above sea level. Petulia has had a small number of inhabitants for over four centuries. It now
17、has a population of 1,500 people. It has no roads, no cars or bicycles, and no electricity. The sun is extremely hot during the day but temperatures at night regularly fall well below freezing. The water of Lake Donika is 10 degrees Celsius all year round. The past Until recently, the island was sep
18、arate from the outside world. Before the introduction of motorboats in the 1970s, travelling from Petulia to the nearest port could take over 20 hours. This journey was therefore made only once a year in order to buy salt. Motorboats have now cut the journey time to three hours, bringing new trade a
19、nd tourists to Petulia. Farming Petulia is divided into six farming areas. Each farmer owns one piece of land in each of the six areas and grows vegetables, potatoes and cereal. Every year, farmers leave a different piece of land unplanted to allow the earth to rest. Cows and sheep are kept here dur
20、ing this time to improve the soil. The food grown by each farmer is shared by everyone: none is for sale. Petulias farming year is divided into wet and dry seasons. The wet season is the busiest time. All land is dug by hand, using spades. In the dry season between July and August, the islanders hav
21、e time to build new houses, repair stone walls and make clothes. Men knit traditional clothes from wool that is prepared by the women. Education Petulia has a well-equipped primary and secondary school. There is a good-sized sports field, but instead of playing football the boys usually choose to kn
22、it, like their fathers, while the girls make wool. Walking along the rough tracks of the island, tourists often see small children on their way to and from school. Visitors Petulia has a tourist industry but the people have kept their traditional customs. They recently voted against a hotel developm
23、ent plan, so there will be no hotels on the island. Instead, tourists are placed with a family as guests. The money earned by each family is, like all money on the island, equally divided. During the dry season, many islanders entertain tourists late into the cold nights with pipe music and dances.
24、11 People have lived on the island for more than 400 years. 12 There is a big difference between day-time and night-time temperatures on the island. 13 The islanders have sold their salt to other countries since the 1970s. 14 It takes three hours to reach Petulia from the nearest port. 15 Some farme
25、rs have more pieces of land to look after than others. 16 The animals are moved onto different land every year. 17 Boys often play football on the school field. 18 Both adults and children help to make the islanders clothes. 19 It is likely that there will be a tourist hotel on the island soon. 20 T
