Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He 1 that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach 2 students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.
First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to 3 . Other letters, such as C ,were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.
The 4 thing they learned was finer spelling. They signed one letter after another to spell a word. They 5 with two-letter words such as at and on . Then they spelled 6 words.
Finally, Mr. Klein showed that 7 one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand, 8 the thumb(拇指) to the chest(前胸) , and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just done with the hands. Expressions on the face are also 9 . The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.
When Inez first entered the classroom. She looked 10 . But the students signed, “Good morning, Inez. ” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful welcome !”

"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn"t remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.

I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance(保险业) company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job----I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma (精神创伤) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife.
Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn"t probe any further. He admitted my loss and with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children.
In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had -----a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call.
Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need.
小题1:The writer took part in the interview because __________.| A．hehad lost his job and wanted to find a new one. | | B．he had to support his family in Boston. | | C．his wife had recently died of a heart attack. | | D．his daughter needed money for schooling. |

小题4:We can infer(推断) from the passage that ______.| A．Bruce and the writer saw each other often. | | B．the writer got little help from Bruce. | | C．the writer learned much from the job interview. | | D．the writer had a better life afterwards. |

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect(尊重) and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can"t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.
Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don"t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it"s OK just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it"s not for you.
It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
小题1:No one wants to listen to_________ from others’ MP3 player.| A．a loud sound | B．sad stories | | C．a long movie | D．the words of a song |
小题2:We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_______.| A．is not enjoyable | B．makes us tired | | C．is bad for MP3 players | D．hurts our ears |
小题3:If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, ________.| A．the teacher won’t allow it | | B．the actors will get angry | | C．others won’t hear the play well | | D．we will miss part of the play |
小题4:We can take one earphone out when we________.| A．show others the way | | B．talk to friends on the phone | | C．watch a sporting event | | D．have dinner with our parents |
小题5:It"s all right to use our MP3 player in______.| A．schools | B．libraries | C．restaurants | D．museums |
