These deaf people were not able to 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 were taught to make certain movements using 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 chins(下巴) 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.21. Sign language is _.

In fact, until the eighteenth century Scotland was an independent country, with a parliament of its own. The English had tried many times over many centuries to bring Scotland under their rule. They succeeded at last in 1707, and some Scots have never forgiven them. Scotland is now governed from London, but in some ways it is still a separate nation. It has its own capital city(Edinburgh),its own law, and its own stamps, it even has a language of its own, spoken now by only a few people in the islands. In some ways Southern Scotland is like England, with his good farmland and low green hills. Central and Northern (the Highlands) have high mountains and deep valleys, fast rivers and cold lakes. These days, of course, there are good roads and railways all through Scotland. Aberdeen, the northeast city where the oil from the North Sea comes to land, is especially easy to reach. But it can still be quite different to travel in the winter when the hills are covered with snow. It always takes a long time to visit the beautiful but far-off islands on the west coast. One reason why Scotland has stayed so different from England is the wildness of the land. It has always been difficult to get around there.28. From the history of the Great Britain we can know Scotland_. A.had been an independent country by the 19th century B.was a separate country before the 18th century C. had been a dependent country by the 18th century D.was a dependent country before 18th century29. The first paragraph tell us _. A.the Scots never defeated the English at all the battles B.the Scots defeated the English at all the battles C.the Scots used to fight against the rules from England many times D.it was quite easy for the English to occupy Scotland30. Scotland has a language of its own,_. A.which not many people speak now B.which is spoken by all the Scots C.which is almost the same as English language D.which the English prevent from being spoken 31. From the third paragraph we can infer _. A.there are no good roads in Scotland because of high mountains B.England has good farmland and low green hills. C.England has not any rivers and lakes in the center and the north D.there are no railways in Scotland because of deep valleysD A young man applied for a job as a farmhand. When the farmer asked for his qualifications(资历), he said, “I can sleep when the wind blows.” This puzzled the farmer. But he liked the young man, and hired him. A few days later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a violent storm. They quickly began to check things to see if all was safe from damage. They found that the doors of the farmhouse had been safely fastened, and a lot of wood had been set next to the fireplace. The young man slept soundly. The farmer and his wife then looked at their property (财产) carefully. They found that the farm tools had been placed in the storage room, safe from the bad weather. The tractor had been moved into the garage. The barn was properly locked. Even the animals were calm. All was well. The farmer then understood the meaning of the young mans words, “ I can sleep when the wind blows.” The farmhand did his work loyally. When the sky was clear, he had prepared for the storm in case it broke. So when the wind blew, there was no need for him to be afraid. He could sleep in peace. 32.
