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 un?derstand ,although you can't hear it. It is sign 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(字母表) .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 Gal-laudet 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.

A篇文章主要介紹了什么是sign language， 人們使用sign language的情況以及人們對sign language的研究c
1.C主旨大意題。文章第一段講到身勢語是一種全世界通用的語言，在下文舉出很多例子來對身勢語進行解釋。所以文章主要談論的是身勢語。
2.D細節(jié)理解題。答案見第二段第二句話。
3.B事實判斷題。由第一段可知身勢語在全世界通用，是一種非話語的語言方式，雖然聽不到，但可以讓人們順暢溝通。通過下文可知這種方式被聾人使用，但不是僅被聾人使用。所以B選項說法正確。
4.C邏輯推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段可知sign language是一種不發(fā)出聲音的溝通交流方式，所以C項所述的動作不是身勢語。而從文章所舉例子可知A，B.D項所述動作都是sign language .

Going green seems to be a fad(日寸尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad,we can't really say,but for the two of us,going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22,2011,we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 dif?ferent green things,and it also meant challenging our?selves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy,we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year,Our Green Year started.

Over the course of Our Green Year,we complete?ly changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有機的) stores. We consume less meat,choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice,with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter,enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing some?thing ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

Two years ago,our 14-year-old son,Ben,asked us for a set of drums for his birthday. At first,we were very much against the idea because of the noise. "It's better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time," Ben argued, "and it'll keep me out of trouble. "In the end we gave in. "All right,"we said， "but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play.” That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instru?ments to move,the other members of Ben's band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment (電子設備) .And so,for several times a week,the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health：whenever the band start practising,my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that,al?though their music may sound a little strange,they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill―after all I didn't expect my parents' generation ( —代人) to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager―but they do play in local clubs for young people at the same time each week.
Our main worry is that they won't spend enough time on their schoolwork because of their musical activities,though this hasn't happened yet. I am al?ways stressing (強調) to Ben how important his studies are. But one thing is certain―Ben was right：it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.
