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 (隨意的) 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.
小題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.
小題2:Sign language ________.
A．is a collection of gestures
B．is easier to learn than English
C．is not very popular in USA
D．has no link to the spoken language
小題3:One of the reasons for learning sign language is that it ________.
A．increase self-confidence
B．provides more choices of career
C．trains brains
D．is interesting
小題4:Babies’ learning sign language cannot ________.
A．help them talk sooner
B．help them walk sooner
C．increase communication at a very early age
D．enrich relationship with parents and the people who take care of them
小題5:Which of the following topics is not discussed in the passage?
A．What is sign language?
B．The advantages of knowing sign language.
C．The relation of American sign language and English.
D．Ways of learning sign language.

D
Men usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can have his own way all the time. A man cannot live in society without considering the interests(利益) of others as well as his own interests. “Society” means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust(不公平) or harmful to others. One man’s decisions may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friend’s house. He sets out, driving at full speed like a competitor in a motor race. There are other vehicles and also pedestrians (行人) on the road. Suddenly there is a crash. There are screams and confusion. One careless motorist has struck another car. The collision(碰撞) has injured two of the passengers and killed the third. Too many road accidents happen through the thoughtlessness of selfish drivers.
We have governments, the police and the law courts to prevent or to punish such criminal acts. But in addition, all men ought to observe certain rules of conduct. Every man ought to behave with consideration for other men. He ought not to steal, cheat, or destroy the property(財(cái)產(chǎn)) of others. There is no place of this sort of behavior in a civilized society.

A. he may have no interest in other people

A. tell people how to behave in society
B. illustrate the importance of laws

A. the drivers are more considerate(體貼的) of other people

People with bigger brains tend to score higher on standardized tests of intelligence, according to new study findings.
However, Dr. Michael A.McDaniel emphasized that these findings represent a general trend, and people with small heads should not automatically believe they are less intelligent. For instance, Albert Einstein’s brain was “ not particularly large,” McDaniel noted “ There’s some relationship between brain size and intelligence on average, but there’s plenty of room for exceptions,” he said.
Interest in the relationship between brain size and intelligence grew in the 1830s, when German anantomist(解剖學(xué)家)Frederick Tidemann wrote that he believed there was “ a natural connection between the size of the brain and the mental energy displayed by the individual man.” Since that statement, scientists have conducted numerous studies to determine if Tidemann’s idea was , in fact, correct. Most studies have investigated the link between head size and intelligence .More recently, however, researchers have published additional studies on intelligence and brain size, measure using MRI scans.
For his study, McDaniel analyzed more than 20 studies that investigated the relationship between brain size and intelligence in a total of 1,530 people. The studies showed that on average, people with larger brain volume tended to be more intelligent. The relationship was stronger in women that men, and adults than children ,McDaniel noted.
In an interview, McDaniel noted that he’s not sure why the relationship was stronger for adults and women. Previous research has shown that women, on average, tend to have smaller brains that men, but score just as well--- if not higher--- in tests of intelligence he said.
McDaniel insisted that the relationship between brain size and intelligence is not a “perfect” one. “One can certainly find lots of examples of smaller-brained people who are highly intelligent,” he said” But , on average, the relationship holds.”
73．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．The success of using MRI scans for studies on man’s intelligence.
B．On average bigger brains mean higher IQ.
C．The importance of our brain volume.
D．Dr. Michael succeeded in his studies on man’s intelligence.
74．By mentioning Albert Einstein, the writer wanted to show ___.
A．what Albert Einstein achieved had nothing to do with his brain size
B．probably the studies on man’s intelligence are not worth believing
C．why hard working is more important than intelligence.
D．the results of these studies are not true for everyone
75．The underlined word “investigated “ could be replaced by ____.
A．worked our   B．guessed        C．study    D．imagined

Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感覺(jué)知覺(jué)).
　　ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
　　Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
　　There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
　　A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."
　　Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
　　Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.
44．According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is_________.
　　A．in existence B．imaginative C．not real D．impossible
45．ESP lets people know___________.
　　A．a(chǎn)bout events before they happen
　　B．a(chǎn)bout events after they happen
　　C．a(chǎn)bout events that are happening some distance away
　　D．A and C
46．In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means ____.
　　A．things that may not happen
　　B．things that happen in a dream
　　C．things that must happen
　　D．things that happen by accident
47．This article is mainly about_________.
　　A．the human dream        B．the sixth sense
　　C．the human mind          D．a(chǎn) crowded bus

D
I know what you’re thinking: pizza（比薩餅）? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast（不吃早餐）, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time; others think they’re “saving” calories（卡路里）；still others just don’t like breakfast food . 
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. 
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers—it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it. You may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
68. The word “l(fā)eftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means_______. 
A. food remaining after a meal         B. things left undone
C. meals made of vegetables           D. pizza topped with fruit
69. What can we infer from the text?
A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. 
C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. 
D. Eating vegetables helps save energy. 
70. According to the last paragraph, it is important to________. 
A. eat something for breakfast           B. be careful about what you eat
C. heat up food before eating it          D. eat calorie-controlled food
71. The text is written mainly for those________. 
A. who go to work early        B. who want to lose weight
C. who stay up late            D. who eat before sleep
