they make spelling possible The signs combine to form a rich language that can express the same thoughts, feelings, and ideas as any spoken language And just as people from different countries speak different languages, most countries have their own variety of sign language In addition to knowing sign language, it is also helpful to know something about how deaf people communicate Since they rely so much on actions, deaf people are generally not very formal when they “talk”, and may touch your arm or shoulder a lot to make sure you know what they’re saying It is not seen as rude among deaf people to lightly touch someone you not know to get their attention It’s also okay to wave your hands or hit the table or floor Also, lots of eye contact is necessary There are many ways to learn a few signs Community colleges often teach introductory classes For selflearners, bookstores and libraries have books for learning sign language There are also instructional videos on the Internet, with actors demonstrating signs and performing interesting stories and conversations for you to see With practice, you’ll soon get the hang of this useful method of communicating (340 words) ( Adapted from: Advanced Reading comprehension) Question 36: You can learn to lipread by A.reading a book B looking at the speaker’s mouth C listening to the speaker D using the sign language Question 37: All of the following are features of the sign language EXCEPT that _ A.it has its own grammar B the combination can form new sentences C it is the same as the spoken language D it can express thoughts, feelings, and ideas Question 38: Which of the following is true about the sign language?
