Helen Keller was born in America in June, 1880. Everything was all right when she was born. But when she was nineteen months old, an attack of fever left her blind and deaf for the rest of her life. She became blind so young that as she grew old, she did not remember being able to see, and she became deaf before she had any idea of the importance of human speech. She lived in darkness and silence.
As she grew old, she, too, wanted to express her ideas and feelings. But she realized that she was cut off from others.
Her parents were greatly worried. How could anyone get in touch with Helen’s mind and intelligence in darkness and silence without speech? Helen was nearly seven when a teacher was found. Her name was Miss Sullivan.
Miss Sullivan had a lot of difficulties in teaching Helen Keller. As the child could neither see nor hear, she had to use manual alphabet. But Helen’s energy and intelligence and strong spirit, combined with Miss Sullivan’s skill and patience, overcame all the difficulties. As Helen grew up, she became an able student, passed examinations and finally took an university degree in English literature. She then devoted all herself to helping the blind and the deaf. Her personal success, together with the work she had done for others, made her one of the greatest women in modern times. She wrote many books and The Story of My Life is a remarkable one.

A. Helen Keller was born blind and deaf.

There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, Although you can’t hear it. It is sigh language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet. It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington D. C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.
40. Which of following about sign language is TRUE?
A. It is a way to express one’s ideas without words.
B. It is the only language used all over the world.

Body Language
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk. Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It’s important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug(拥抱).
Space is important to Americans .When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me ”or “Excuse me.”
Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指).Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的).If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.

Do animals communicate?
When we think of communication, we normally think of using words—talking face to face, writing messages and soon. But in fact we communicate far more in other ways.Our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not．
Then there are gestures, often unconscious（无意识的）:raising the eyebrows, rubbing the nose, raising the shoulders，tapping the fingers, nodding and shaking the head. There is also the even more subtle（微妙的）body language of posture（姿势）: are you sitting or standing with arms or legs crossed？Is that person standing with hands in pockets, held in front of the body or hidden behind？ Even the way we dress and the colors we wear communicate things to others.
So, do animals communicate？Not in words, although a parrot might be trained to repeat words and phrases which it doesn’t understand．But，as we have learnt, there is more to communicate than words.
Take dogs for example. They show their teeth to warn, shake their tails to welcome and stand firm, with hair upright, to fight. These signals are surely the equals of the human body language of facial expression, gesture and posture.
Color can be an important means of communication for animals. Many birds and fishes change color, for example, to attract partners during the mating（交配） season. And mating itself is commonly done after a special dance which both partners take part in.
Here, again, there are striking similarities to young men and women who dress up tomeet partners at parties, where the music is often too loud for word communication. Communication there takes place through appearance and movement.
The most carefully planned dances in the animal kingdom are those which bees use to communicate. With body movements alone they can tell other bees the direction and distance of a newly discovered food.
All these examples may suggest instinctively（本能地）rather than intelligent communication. But human body language is largely instinctive, too. And, in many ways, body language says far more than intelligent, word communication ever can.
48.Nodding and shaking the head is a ____ .
A. gesture B. facial expression C. posture D.1anguage
49.Dogs shaking their tails means ____ .
A. warning B. welcoming C. fighting D. laughing
50.Which of the following is true？
A. Color is not a way of communication for animals.
B. Many birds and fishes change color to show that they don’t want to mate.
C. A special dance often takes place before mating itself.
D. Word communication is better at parties where music is so loud.
