How deaf children learn to communicate? Recently, doctors have learned that deaf babies babble with their hands Laura Ann Petitto, a psychologist, observed three hearing infants with English-speaking parents and two deaf infants with deaf parents using American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate Dr Petitto studied the babies three times: at 10, 12, and 14 months During this time, children really begin to develop their language skills After watching and videotaping the children for several hundred hours, the psychologist and her assistants made many important observations For example, they saw that the hearing children made varied motions with their hands However, there appeared to be no pattern to these motions The deaf babies also made different movements with their hands, but these movements were more consistent and deliberate The deaf babies seemed to make the same hand movements over and over again During the four-month period, the deaf babies' hand motions started to resemble some basic hand-shapes used in ASL The children also seemed to prefer certain hand-shapes Hearing infants start first with simple syllable babbling, then put more syllables together to sound like real sentences and questions Apparently, deaf babies follow this same pattern, too First, they repeat simple hand-shapes, Next, they form some simple hand signs and use these movements together to resemble ASL sentences Linguists believe that our ability for language is innate In other words, humans are born with the capacity for language: It does not matter if we are physically able to speak or not Language can ĐỀ THI 20 60 phút 50 câu be expressed in different ways - for instance, by speech or by sign Dr Petitto believes this theory and wants to prove it She plans to study hearing children who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent She wants to see what happens when babies have the opportunity to learn both sign language and speech Does the human brain prefer speech? Some of these studies of hearing babies who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent show that the babies babble equally with their hands and their voices They also produce their first words, both spoken and signed, at about the same time More studies in the future may prove that the sign system of the deaf is the physical equivalent of speech Question 29 According to paragraph 1, babies begin to babble _ A at their first moment after birth B at their first experience of language C when they are more than months old D when they first hear their parents talk to them Question 30 The phrase “the babies” in paragraph refers to _ in the study A the hearing infants B the deaf infants C the hearing and deaf infants D the disabled infants Question 31 It is stated in paragraph that both the deaf and the hearing children made movements with their hands, but _ A only the hearing children made different movements B the deaf children made less consistent hand movements C the hearing children only repeated the same hand motions D only the deaf children repeated the same hand motions Question 32 According to paragraph 4, hearing infants learn to talk first by _ A hand-shapes B babbling C hand motions D eye movements Question 33 The word “real” in paragraph mostly means _ A meaningful B formal C general D original Question 34 It is mentioned in the last paragraph that Dr Petitto plans to study _ A what happens when babies have the opportunity to learn both speech and sign language B whether all children speak and make motions with their hands at the same time C the assumption that the human brain prefers sign language to speech D whether the sign system of the deaf is the physical equivalent of speech Question 35 Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?
