They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their childs kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her. The teacher painted a bleak (暗淡的) picture for their little girls future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there she didnt make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents asked her to do so.After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright child. Although I was able to make her join in different learning activities, writing was always a struggle. I tried all kinds of methods to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would refuse to write.One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school crying. The teachers there did not know enough sign language to ask her what happened. Finally they led her into the office where they handed her a pen and a piece of paper. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.” Immediately the teachers realized she left her backpack on the bus. They called the bus driver back to school and soon Katherine got her backpack back.That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she fell in love with writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. 21.

Over the past 180 years, linguists (语言学家) have created over ten different languages that are based on German, Spanish, and English. One of these was Basic English. By 1923 the First World War had been over for five years, but Europe was still recovering from its effects. Charles Kay Ogden, a linguist and writer, was running several bookshops in Cambridge. He published (出版) The Meaning of Meaning (1923), a book describing how we use language. The book received high praise, which drove Ogden to design an international language something that was much simpler than English. In 1930 Ogdens book Basic English: A General Introduction with Rules and Grammar was published. Perhaps it takes about seven years for one to become a good English speaker. Ogden believed that Basic English could be learned in seven weeks. There were only 850 words and the grammar was very simple. The language attracted the attention of educators all over the world, but its development was stopped by the Second World War. After the war, both the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt looked for ideas that might bring world peace. They both gave speeches that encouraged the use of Ogdens international language. In the past 60 years, the language has had some success. In some parts of East Asia, teachers are still using Ogdens word lists. However, in the main, the language has disappeared. Because there are many more non-native than native speakers of English, recently some linguists have asked whether we should give careful consideration to Ogdens ideas again. And the Wikipedia website () has started a version (版本) written in Basic English for non-native learners of the language. Search for it on the Internet now! 27. According to the text, Basic English _. A. was very easy to learn B. has a history of 180 years C. is mainly based on three languages D. developed fast over the last 60 years 28.

With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.My mom asked where I was going. “Im leaving home,” I said.“Whats that youre carrying?” she asked.“Some clothes and food,” I replied.“If you want to run away, thats all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didnt have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.” This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off shoes, socks, underwear and all and shouted, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, dont expect to come back.” I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you cant imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.“Its Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesnt live here anymore. He ran away from home.”Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! Im sorry. Im still your son. Let me in!”The door opened and Moms smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.“Whats for supper?” I smiled back.31.
