How to Communicate With a Deaf Person
Communicating with a deaf person doesn’t have to be as difficult as it might seem.The trick is to be patient,straightforward,and to remember that deaf people communicate visually.
Method1:Starting Your Conversation
1 You can do this by moving into the person’s field of vision and waving from a polite distance,or by tapping the person gently on the shoulder.
Position yourself carefully.Make sure that the light in the room is shining directly onto your face,and that you’re not standing with your back to a light. 2
Find out how the person prefers to communicate.Some deaf people are better lip-readers than others.Some deaf people may prefer to write back and forth or to use an interpreter.Man interactions between the deaf and the hearing require a combination of these methods. 3
Method2:Communicating Through Lip-reading.
Keep your sentences simple and use plain language. 4 The more complex your phrasing and vocabulary,the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something.
When someone else is speaking,don’t turn away from the deaf person in your group. 5 You don’t have to look at the deaf person while someone else is talking,but try to make sure your face is visible.
A.Get the person’s attention.
B.It’s important not to talk too quickly.
C.Or,they’ll miss parts of the conversation.
D.If so,it’ll make them feel left out of the conversation.
E.Stand directly in front of the person,at a normal distance.
F.The best way to know which methods are most effective is to ask.
G.Try not to be too difficult when using your words in the beginning.

You see your phone light up from the corner of your eye and quickly reach for it.What started as a simple notification(通知) check snowballs into an hour-long period as you look through rows of notifications and endless social media feeds.
This is by design.Tech companies such as Google and Facebook have spent years working to make consumer technology as addictive as possible.After all,time spent with their products could equal big profits for the company.
However,that’s starting to change.Apple takes action with the introduction of tools in its new operating system aimed at informing users to better manage their smartphone usage and parental controls that allow parents to better monitor and control their children’s phone time.
Google also offers a “Wind Down” feature to set at bedtime,which automatically puts the phone into “Do Not Disturb”.No notifications will show up on your phone,and losing all colour on-screen is certainly a cause to put your phone away.
There are still no clear guidelines on what causes tech addiction,but it’s a growing concern likely on the minds of parents everywhere as they see their kids’ faces constantly glued inches away from a screen.And everywhere you go,you’re all but guaranteed to see people buried in their phones.
Apart from Apple and Google,Facebook deserves a fair amount of blame,as CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged in a blog post earlier this year.The social network announced plans to roll out changes aimed at making interactions more meaningful.
“By making these changes,I expect the time people spend on Facebook will go down,”Zuckerberg said.“But I also expect the time you do spend on Facebook will be more valuable.And if we do the right thing,I believe that will be good for our community and our business over the long term too.”
1.What has been done to change phone addiction
A.Making some colour disappear on the screen.
B.Offering functions to reduce phone use.
C.Improving consumer technology.
D.Stopping sending messages.
2.What does the underlined phrase“The social network” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A.Google. B.Apple.
C.A blog post. D.Facebook.
3.What does Zuckerberg mean in the last paragraph
A.Facebook is expecting fewer people to use it.
B.It’s valuable for people to do the right thing on Facebook.
C.People should spend time on Facebook as little as possible.
D.Facebook and its consumers will have a win-win relationship.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Fighting Against Screen Addiction
B.Making Tech Addiction by Design
C.Controlling Children’s Phone Time
D.Letting Phone Interactions Meaningful

We’ve all been there:in a lift,in line at the bank or on an airplane,surrounded by people who are,like us,deeply focused on their smartphones or,worse,struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence.It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging,or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary.But the next time you find yourself among strangers,consider that small talk is worth the trouble.Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
“Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy,but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation.Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication,”says Bernardo Carducci,director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast.“Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains.“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others,not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study,Elizabeth Dunn,associate professor of psychology at UBC,invited people on their way into a coffee shop.One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter;the other,to speak only when necessary.The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience.“It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn.“But interactions with peripheral(外围的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging,a bond with others.Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
5.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A.Addiction to smartphones.
B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.
C.Absence of communication between strangers.
D.Impatience with slow service.
6.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A.Showing good manners.
B.Relating to other people.
C.Focusing on a topic.
D.Making business deals.
7.What does the coffee shop study suggest about small talk
A.It improves family relationships.
B.It raises people’s confidence.
C.It matters as much as a formal talk.
D.It makes people feel good.
8.What is the best title for the text
A.Conversation Counts
B.Ways of Making Small Talk
C.Benefits of Small Talk
D.Uncomfortable Silence

概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Shopaholics
TV.The Internet.The mall.Everywhere we look,we see advertisements that urge us to buy.In today’s consumer society,we are under constant pressure to shop.Of course,most people only buy what they need and what they can afford.However,there are some people,called shopaholics,who can’t control their desire to spend money and buy things.This kind of addictive behaviour can lead large financial problems,family conflict,and deep unhappiness.
What are the symptoms of a shopaholic People with this problem often spend hours and hours shopping on the Internet or at the mall.Their closets are full of clothing and jewelry that they have never worn,with the price tags still on them.Their homes may be packed with shopping bags and boxes that they bought but never used.Many shopaholics are aware of their own problems,but when they go to a store,they simply can’t resist the urge to buy.Some of them are ashamed of their weakness and try to hide it by storing their purchases in places like the attic(阁楼),where others won’t see them.
Psychologists suggest there are several reasons for a shopping addiction.For some people,it is a way of relieving stress.For others,shopping is a way to fight loneliness or depression.For people with low self-esteem,shopping can be a way that they prove their self-worth.Sometimes the problem develops out of boredom.It becomes a replacement for other hobbies and interests,and it helps pass the time.Although shopping can temporarily make people feel good,they often experience feelings of shame and guilt later.
When shopping habits get out of control,people need professional help.They can either see a counselor(顾问) or join an organisation such as Shopaholics Anonymous.Groups like this try to help people understand the reasons for their addiction and learn how to control the urge to shop.Their goal is to help people find ways to fulfill themselves that do not lead to serious debt and troubled lives.
Shopaholics refer to those who are addicted to shopping whether they need something or whether they can afford something.There are several symptoms of shopaholics.They spend too much time shopping and can’t resist the desire to buy things,many of which are even never used.Shopaholics do so for different reasons,such as reducing stress,fighting loneliness or depression,proving self-worth,killing boredom or time and so on.Anyhow,professional help is available if necessary.Unit 1-Section Ⅲ课时基础巩固&综合提升

Cala didn’t like us.Any of us.We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter,she still didn’t like us.
As new teachers in the Emirati school,we Westerners greeted her every day.She ignored us.She came into our rooms and bypassed us as she shook hands with all the non-Westerners.Whenever we saw her,she avoided eye contact with us.Eventually,we stopped trying to befriend her.
I won’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school,we had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.

Then came the day.We all gathered in the meeting room.When you received your gift,you said a few kind words about your secret friend and passed the gift to them.What could I say Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners.She taught music in the school so I said “My secret pal is someone who brings music to our ears every day.”She came forward with a huge warm smile.She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gift.

Five years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle,I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student,and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,“But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep ”
“Oh,sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That’s pretty creative.Who does that for you ”
“Nobody.I do it.”
“Really—at night,when you’re asleep ”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay ”
1.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .
A.know more about the students
B.make the lessons more exciting
C.raise the students’ interest in art
D.teach the students about toy design
2.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3
A.He liked to help his teacher.
B.He preferred to study alone.
C.He was active in class.
D.He was imaginative.
3.What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Mistake. B.Drawback.
C.Difficulty. D.Burden.
4.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams
A.To help them to see their creativity.
B.To find out about their sleeping habits.
C.To help them to improve their memory.
D.To find out about their ways of thinking.

We’ve all experienced peer pressure(同伴压力).It happens to everybody.However,people have different reactions.Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do,but shy and anxious people often give in.It may be because they want to be liked.It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them,or perhaps they’re just curious about trying something new. 1
It’s hard being the only one who says no and the question is:how do you do it 2 If you think that missing maths,or smoking,or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea,then the answer is simple:don’t do it.It’s your decision,nobody else’s.You don’t need to be aggressive.You don’t need to shout and scream,but you must be confident and you must be firm.You need to say,“No,thanks.I don’t want to do that.”
Being on your own against everybody else is very hard,so it can really help to have at least one other peer,or friend,who will say no too. 3 You want friends who will support you when you’re in trouble.You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority.Remember,the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.
4 You can learn a lot from people of your own age.They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework.They can recommend music and advise you on fashion.And don’t forget you can tell them things too,and that always feels great.So,find friends who have similar interests.And remember,friendship isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty. 5
A.Choose your friends carefully.
B.Firstly,you must decide what you believe in.
C.It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.
D.Of course,peer pressure isn’t completely bad.
E.It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.
F.Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.
G.Whatever the reason,some people end up doing things they really don’t want to.

After years of heated debate,gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park.By last year,the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States,but they were gradually displaced by human development.By the 1920s,wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area.They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada,where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results.Deer and elk populations— major food sources(来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly.These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation(植被),which reduced plant diversity in the park.In the absence of wolves,coyote population also grew quickly.The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes,and completely drove away the park’s beavers.
As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves.The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

It’s hard to talk to Dad sometimes.His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through.You could never break his hard shell and get to know him.And he seemed to want to stay that way too.
But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit,I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him as real and accessible.I was facing serious problems and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way,because I felt like I had lost mine.In desperation,it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key,so I wrote him one,telling him about my regrets and fears,and I asked him to answer,if he felt like it.
Two weeks later,it showed up in my inbox:a much-thought,three-page letter.Dad,a 68-year-old retired technologist and grandfather of four,had carefully considered my message,and crafted a response.He mentioned his lost love,the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents.He comforted me that “life will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns”.
I closed the email and started to cry,because I wished I had opened up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t too late.I cried because at 33,in the midst of my own struggles,his letter instantly put me at ease.And I cried because in the end,it was so simple:I just had to hit “Send”.
We’ve since had many email exchanges.This increasing communication opened a door into his world.My problems haven’t been magically solved,but getting to know my dad better has made the tough thing more manageable and life sweeter.It’s hard to talk to Dad sometimes,but I’m glad I found a way to talk to mine.
