Some people who cannot hear use their hands to communicate messages to others. This is called sign language. These people make shapes with their fingers, movements with their hands, as well as different faces in order to talk to other people. One way people speak with their hands is by making shapes for letters with their fingers. For example, if you make an “OK” sign with your thumb and finger, that is the shape for the letter “f” in American sign language. Each letter has a hand shape. This way people can spell words using their hands. For example, if you want to spell “fun”, you need to make three shapes. First you make the shape for the letter “f”, then the shape for the letter “u”, and then the shape for the letter “n”. ________. If you move your hand from your nose to your chin(下巴), you can say “mother” in American sign language. Of course, you have to use the correct hand shape too. That shape is like holding your hand open with all five fingers showing. If you move your hand from the top of your head to your chin, you can say “father”. Again, you have to use the same hand shape that you used for “mother”. Finally, people can change their faces to communicate in a sign language. For example, if you want to ask a question, you need to make your eyebrows(眉毛) go up. You also need to move your head forward a little. If you want to say “I do not know”, you need to make your eyes smaller and make your eyebrows go down. 1. If you want to spell the word “nice”, you need to make ______ hand shapes. A. one B. two C. three D. four 2. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 3? A. People also need to learn sign language B. People also make hand shapes to communicate C. People also move their hands to talk in a sign language D. People also make different faces to express their meanings 3. You need to use your ______ to say “I do not know” in American sign language. A. eyes and eyebrows B. eyes and head C. hand and head D. fingers and eyes 4. The purpose of the passage is to ______. A. help people know more about America B. introduce American sign language to readers C. teach readers how to make hand shapes D. encourage people to use more sign language B One night when they were near Treasure Island, Jim wanted an apple from the large barrel(桶) on the deck. There were only a few apples left, so he climbed inside the barrel and sat in the dark, eating. Suddenly somebody sat down beside the barrel. Jim was going to jump out but he heard Long John Silver speaking. “Flint was the captain,” said Long John Silver, “and I was like him. The cannon(大炮) took away my leg and blinded old Pew as well. But we came home with a ship full of gold. I always do well with Flint. Most of his men are with me.” “Well, I’m with you too, John,” answered a young voice. It was Dick, the youngest sailor on board. Jim understood immediately that most of the ship’s crew(工作人员) were pirates. They planned to take the treasure. And now the new boy Dick was one of them too. “I told you that Dick was a good boy,” said another voice. It was Israel Hands, another sailor and a good friend of Long John Silver. “But how long are we going to wait?” “Well, we can kill them now,” said Long John Silver. “Or we can do it on the island, when treasure is safe on the ship. Or we can wait until Captain Smollett has set the course for home, because none of us know how to do that.” Jim jumped out of the barrel as no one was looking, and ran over to Dr Livesey. He found a chance to tell the doctor, the captain and the squire(乡绅) everything. “It’s strange,” said the captain. “This crew seems fine. Listen, this is what I think: first, we must go on, because if we turn back now, the crew will fight against us immediately; second, we have time to think of a plan until we find the treasure; third, to ▲ We have your servants, Mr Trelawney, and ourselves, so that is seven out of twenty-six.” Jim began to feel desperate.

Xiaomi is one of such people. Xiaomi, born in 1981, is an office worker in Shenzhen. She has looked for travel partners more than once. This March, Xiaomi went to Gansu Province and found a travel partner there. She also found another dazi during the trip. They all had great fun during the journey. “We later started a chat group on WeChat, and we often share good books and life experiences in it. Starting as travel partners, we have become friends. I think I’m lucky,” Xiaomi said. Finding a dazi is not always good, and it can be dangerous sometimes. Remember to be careful and pay attention to your personal safety when you look for a dazi. 1.
