However, after I got home, I spent my time petting the cat—to get some comfort.
When I finally sat down to 4 , I began with the reasons Ms. Black would want to hear.
Talking kept me and my neighbours from studying. One paragraph finished. Then what? For several minutes, I thought 5 . Aha! What if talking were the first step towards life as a criminal (罪犯)?

But when mum got home from work, I was still 6 , “Five pages! That’s impossible!”
“Well, you’d better continue,” she said. “And I want to read it when it is completed.”

Body language is a powerful way to 1 feelings and messages without words. However, different cultures may 2 gestures in their own ways. For example, in many countries, a smile shows happiness, but in some places, people might smile when they feel 3 or shy.

Passage 2
(24-25八年级下·广东省广州市第三中学·期中)
High school does not encourage students to know about the new things in life, but college sets the stage for it. I myself went through this 1 process (过程) and found something that has changed my experience at college for the better: I discovered (发现) ASL-American Sign Language.
I never felt it necessary to learn any sign language before. All of my family members can hear, and so can all my friends. The 2 language seemed enough. Little by little, I discovered my growing 3 for ASL.
The 4 with ASL began during my first week at college. I watched it carefully when the ASL club performed their translation (翻译) of a song. Both the hand movements and the idea of communicating without speaking attracted me. What I saw was completely different from anything I had experienced in the past. This new form of communication just made me want more.
After that, feeling the need to 5 it, I decided to join one of the ASL clubs. I only learned how to 6 my feelings with my hands about the letters that day. Although my process was a bit 7 , I wasn’t disappointed about it. I then tried my best to take part in those clubs’ meetings and learned all I could.
The following term, I decided to be a member of an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking wasn’t 8 there. I soon realized that silence was not unpleasant. 9 , if there had been any talking, it would have led to less learning. Now, I enjoy the silence and the 10 way of communication.

High school does not encourage students to know about the new things in life, but college sets the stage for it. I myself went through this 1 process (过程) and found something that has changed my experience at college for the better: I discovered (发现) ASL-American Sign Language.
I never felt it necessary to learn any sign language before. All of my family members can hear, and so can all my friends. The 2 language seemed enough. Little by little, I discovered my growing 3 for ASL.
The 4 with ASL began during my first week at college. I watched it carefully when the ASL club performed their translation (翻译) of a song. Both the hand movements and the idea of communicating without speaking attracted me. What I saw was completely different from anything I had experienced in the past. This new form of communication just made me want more.
After that, feeling the need to 5 it, I decided to join one of the ASL clubs. I only learned how to 6 my feelings with my hands about the letters that day. Although my process was a bit 7 , I wasn’t disappointed about it. I then tried my best to take part in those clubs’ meetings and learned all I could.
The following term, I decided to be a member of an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking wasn’t 8 there. I soon realized that silence was not unpleasant. 9 , if there had been any talking, it would have led to less learning. Now, I enjoy the silence and the 10 way of communication.
