For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.
But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using the 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 were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces and bodies. Their movements stood for things and ideas. A man might move his forefinger across his lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” He might tap his chin with three fingers. This meant, “my uncle.” The deaf were also taught to use 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.
Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.

A. how the deaf communicate B. leaning to spell
C. teaching the deaf to speak D. writing sign language
3. How did sign language help the deaf?
A. It helped them to learn to read.

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推进，敦促) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周详).
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.
We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.
1.Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.
A. day by day; and B .gradually; as
C. gradually; that D. century after century; as
2.Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C. It is because we are forced to do them again and again.
D. It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away
3.The bad habits formed by __________
A. children sometimes stay in all their lives
B. older people sometimes can kill them
C. persons sometimes can remain with them
D. younger people sometimes can break them

“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice 24 me .

Mom said. Then 34 they ran.
We all stood 35 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were 36 by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the 37 to their cars.
