Bali is an Indonesia island that is rich in indigenous （本土的） culture．A lot of people say that Balinese culture is unique and that the people of Bali have always been contented with the "now"．If you ask a Balinese person what heaven is like, the probable answer will be "just like Bali"．This only goes to show that most Balinese people are happy to be where they are and never worry．

One factor that contributes to this laidback lifestyle is the culture of close family ties in Bali．In the Balinese culture, support is always available．Balinese extended families are so tightly knit that all members usually reside in the same complex．

Balinese culture is based on a form of this religion, which is called "Hindu Darma"．This religion reached the island during the eleventh century．Most of the family customs and

traditions as well as community lifestyles of the Balinese people are influenced by this．The religious influence even expands widely into the arts, which makes Bali distinct from the rest of Indonesia．

         In spite of the fact that tourists flood to the island every year, Balinese people have managed to conserve their culture．Almost every native of Bali is an artist in some form or another．Parents and villagers have passed on their skills to their children, who all seem to have inclinations （愛好） either to music, dance, painting, and decor．

         Another remarkable mark of the Balinese culture is the series of ceremonies and rituals known as the Manusa Yadnya．This marks the different stages of Balinese life．Cremation （火葬） is very popular on this island—and unlike in the West, death is a joyous and colorful event for the Balinese．

1.What do we know about Balinese according to the first two paragraphs?

         A．They lead a very relaxing but unwealthy life．

         B．They live in large families and are close to each other．

         C．Their family members are distributed in different places．

         D．Their extended families live too close together to get along well．

2.Bali is distinguished from the rest of Indonesia by _____．

         A．people's tight family relationship

         B．the family customs and traditions

         C．people's great affection for religion

         D．the influence of Hinduism on their culture

3.The underlined word "conserve" in Para．4 can be best replaced by "_____"．

         A．preserve        B．spread      C．form         D．expand

4.When a person dies in Bali, it is a common practice to _____．

         A．express deep sorrow at his death

         B．celebrate the death like a great event

         C．sing and dance joyfully in his honor

         D．remember what he did in his lifetime

5.What is the text mainly about?

         A．Balinese religion．                  B．The lifestyle of Balinese．

         C．Balinese culture．                           D．The tourism in Bali．
