Why should you learn Sign Language? Do you want to improve your communication with a family member or friend who is deaf? Do you want to be able to communicate with deaf people in general? Would you like to advance in your career by being able to communicate in ASL? Do you want to be a Sign Language interpreter?

Sign language is not just a random (随意的) collection of gestures but a full-blown (完全成熟的) language in its own right, complete with its own grammatical rules. Each country or region has its own sign language, as different from each other as English is from Spanish. Each version of sign language is somewhat linked to the spoken language in its region. For example, American sign language does share similarities with English, even though it is its own language.

The advantages of knowing sign language in addition to a spoken language are many. Communication becomes possible on many levels with the deaf community, with other people either hearing or not in any of the above situations, as well as many more.

While other languages take years to learn, American Sign Language can be taught in a much shorter time period. It is one of the easiest languages to learn because most of the signs were developed to mimic the actual word or phrase it is representing. Even the alphabet signs look like the letters of the English alphabet.

American Sign Language, or ASL, is the third most used language in the United States. Used by the deaf community, interpreters, and friends and family of the deaf. There are a lot of sites on the internet that not only shows you the sign with video, but will help you practice reading signs as well.

Teaching even hearing babies sign language seems to be the fashion in recent years and for good reason. Communicating in sign language is fun and natural as babies naturally use body gestures in early communication. Teaching baby sign language actually appears to enhance the learning of verbal skills and brain development of the children involved.

1.Which two regions share similarities in their sign language?

A. Spain and Britain.

B. Mexico and USA.

C. Australia and Canada.

D. Japan and Korea.

2.Sign language ________.

3.One of the reasons for learning sign language is that it ________.

4.Babies’ learning sign language cannot ________.

5.Which of the following topics is not discussed in the passage?

What’s delicious, healthy to eat and comes in various colors? Eggplant! And no, it has nothing to do with chickens! This strangely named vegetable is, however, as versatile as an egg. It can be steamed, fried or baked. It can be eaten by itself or combined with meats and other vegetables.

Eggplant was first grown in India during the 5th century B.C. Its popularity soon spread to China and then throughout Asia. Finally, during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it was like a white egg. Due to this egg-like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a “mad apple”. This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one’s health. People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity(精神错乱) and cancer.

Fortunately, today people know that eggplant doesn’t cause insanity or cancer. In fact, eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this supper vegetable. Since it is high in fiber, eggplant can also improve digestion.

Italy, Turkey, Egypt, China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today. Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow-white. And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish diversities(多样性) range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious!

Today, thousands of people are gathering in Loomis, Calif, for the 23rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival. The main activity at the festival is eating delicious eggplant dishes. There is plenty more to do and see, though. Recipe contests, arts and crafts, performers, races and children’s activities all “egg-cite” festival-goers. Most people at the festival would agree — eggplant is an “egg-cellent” vegetable!

1.What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. simple in shape                B. various in cooking

C. diverse in size                 D. flexible in price

A. Eggplant was once misunderstood by the people for its bitterness.

B. Eggplant was introduced into Europe during the 5th century B.C.

C. Eggplant got its name for its nutrition which is as rich as an egg.

D. Eggplant looks like what it used to be in color and shape.

3.Eggplant is so healthy that it can _____________.

A. cure the cancer with certainty          B. do good to digestion

How to Improve Your English

Define your learning objectives early: what do you want to learn and why? Make learning a habit. 1. It is much better to study (or read, or listen to English news, and so on) for 10 minutes each day than to study for 2 hours once a week.

Choose your materials well. You will need reading, grammar, writing, speaking and listening materials—beginners can use a basic­level English guide, and then move on to an advanced­level English guide. 2. It will make learning more enjoyable—thus more effective.

Vary your learning routine. It is best to do different things each day to help keep the various relationships between each area active. 3.

4. Learning English together can be very encouraging. You can find friends to speak English on the Internet.

Relate grammar to practical usage. Grammar by itself does not help you use the language. You should practice what you are learning by employing it actively.

Move your mouth! Understanding something doesn't mean that the muscles of your mouth can produce the sounds. 5. It may seem strange, but it is very effective.

Be patient with yourself. Remember that learning is a process—speaking a language well takes time. It is not a computer that is either on or off!

A. The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource.

B. Try to learn something every day.

C. Practice speaking what you are learning aloud.

D. In other words, don't just study grammar.

E. Find your own interests.

F. Choose articles that relate to what you are fond of.

G. Find friends to study and speak with.
