For many years, we couldn’t talk with the deaf. These deaf people couldn’t use a spoken
language.
But beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language,
they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without
sound. It was a sign language.
How did this sign language work? The deaf learnt to make certain movements with their
hands, faces and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their
forefingers across their lips. This meant “you are not telling the truth”. They might tap their chin
with three fingers. This meant “my uncle”.
The deaf learned to see a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the
alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed
of 130 words per minute.
The deaf don’t use the sign language and finger spelling as much as they once were. Today,
the deaf learn to understand others by watching their lips. They also learn how to speak.
( )33. How long has the sign language been taught?
A. For 1700 years. B. For 700 years.
5
C. Since about 300 years ago. D. Since about 200 years ago.
( )34. How did this sign language work?
A. The deaf make certain movements using their hands, faces and bodies.
B. The deaf speak with their mouth.
C. The deaf talk with us by writing.
D. The deaf only talk to us by using their fingers.2·1·c·n·j·y
( )35. Which of the sentences is wrong?
A. The sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were.
B. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips.
C. The deaf might tap their chin with three fingers. This mean “you are not telling the truth”.
D. The deaf are also taught to see a finger alphabet.21*com
( )36. The title of the passage is __________.
A. The Deaf. B. The Blind.
C. The Language of the Deaf. D. The Language of the Blind.
D
We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This
happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes，instead of lifting our chopsticks, we
take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be
“liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get
“liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal．
Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do
that when having dinner with you?
A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking
photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment（实验）.
Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the
more photos they took, . So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of
you?
Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food
before meal.
After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his
mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that
your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.
So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking
photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust
me, it will be a wonderful time.

A. the less cheerful they became
B. he more interested they were in the food
C. the less delicious the food seemed to them
D. the more “liked” they got on Weibo or Wechat
( )39. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?
A. We take out our mobiles and click when a dish comes.
B. We check our mobiles from time to time during the meal.
C. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant.
D. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food.
( )40. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Enjoy the life with people around us instead of taking photos of food.
B. Take photos of delicious food and share them with others.

When I have something difficult to do, I always ask my mum, "Could you help me?"
But she always says, "Do it yourself, dear." Then I get so sad. I think she is a lazy mother.
For example, one day, I invited some friends to my home. My bedroom was out of order.
Books were all over the table and the ground. I forgot to make my bed. So I asked my mother to
help me clean it. But she said seriously, "Do it yourself, girl." So I did it myself.
Because of my "lazy" mum, I am supposed to wash my clothes and clean my room. I have to
help my parents do some housework. I even have to go to the dentist by myself if I have a
toothache. It's really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned a lot.
From now on, I understand my mother. It's her "laziness" that makes me clever and
hard-working. Just as my mum always says, "A lady can't be lazy or she'll be crazy. Work can
make you sunny."
