25、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 cant talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is usi

26、ng 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

27、 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 sc

28、reen.The actors in the Theatre of Deaf dont spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich.

Were friends.”“Id rather pay,” I replied. “If its free, I cant afford it.”Chinese often refuse payment for profe

33、ssional services, insisting, “Were friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish Id have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place.According to the Americans, “Theres no free lunch,” meaning that theres a

34、price for everything, and Im always looking around to figure out what this means.Many of our neighbors have given usfruitor flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, abicyclerepairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he

35、 insists.Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. Butcash cant make up for the greatestgiftfriendship.When an American saw some of my friends sitting onbamboostools under the trees, sippingtea, he sai

38、e, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next time someone says, “No charge. Were friends.” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, Ill make sure they tutor my son in Chinese aswell, because theres still no free lunch.44(本题1分)Why did the author in

42、tones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”You probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh(严厉的) or negative words do not harm us? Words have power. Surely we all have had our feelings hurt by something someone said.We may not say words to hurt others

43、, but the way we interpret (解释) them and how we say them may cause great harm. Heres an exampleAn ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. He sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone! The king was very angry

44、 and threw the interpreter into prison. He then sent for another interpreter who said, “Congratulations! King! You will live many more years. In fact, you will survive all your relatives. Long Live the King!”Both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way t

45、hey said it.Our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as much power as the words themselves. Words can cause anger or appreciation. Which would you rather receive?People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to ha

46、rm, but have you ever known anyone who is a naysayer? They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full.

50、 (新闻报道). In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news.Now many newspapers are locked in a struggle for survival. If they losewhich is by no means impossiblewe all lose.The great task for editors an

51、d publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits (利润). As yet，they havent figured out a smooth and sure way to do that.So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are

52、 in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers wont even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money，it will be too latetoo late to notice the reducti

53、on in the number of readers.The other big cuts, of course, are in staff (员工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them，there is also a lot of talent.When experienced staff leave in large numbers

54、as they often do nowthe newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights (见识) that only the experienced reporters can bring.As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign：intelligent young people will continue to flood i
