The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981.At that time,they decided to stop s__1__ Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was b__2__ they were now living in an Englishspeaking country.21教育名师原创作品
Now the Vieira children are adults,and they sometimes travel to Spain to v __3__ their family and friends. But they can't communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries,they often leave their o__4__ customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people a__5__ the world. You don't have to depend on others to talk to you,so you are more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore,speaking the second language a__6__ allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions,vocabulary,and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of o__7__ cultures. So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally,having more multilanguage speakers improves relationships b__8__ countries. If people from different countries can communicate well,the world can become closers.Countries will then have more respect for each other and better u__9__ each other's problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact,there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It's e__10__ worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.

Each Indian tribe (部落) had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language
e__1__ their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each? They had two
ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; the other was by signals.
Sign language is a way talking by signs. Indians used it when they met strangers. In this way,
they could find out w__2__ the stranger was a friend or an enemy.
Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make
signals, an Indian might use a pony (小马). He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows (箭) .
To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian r__3__ his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.
The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held two c__4__ of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing (摇动) the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.
He could also send many signals with a mirror to w__5__ someone or to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors could be used o__6__ when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.
An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he r__7__ the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.
Now you can see that Indians didn't need to learn each other's language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.21·世纪*教育网

Anyone who has a dog as a pet will tell you why the dog is called 'man's best friend'. "They are loyal, funny and loving. They seldom complain and always o 1 their owners," said Mary Smith of Washington D.C.
Doctors will also tell you that people who have dogs seem to be happier and healthier than those who live a 2 . One reason for this is that people with dogs lead more active lives. Who can say no to a lovely dog when he pulls on your arm and asks yon to take him for a walk?
Dogs are really amazing animals. They not only offer emotional (情感的) support but also p 3 great help for humans. Think about guide dogs for blind people, or dogs that help people in wheelchairs.
However, it is the emotional side of owning a dog that has been studied in detail by Dr Julie Davis of Chicago University. "B 4 every dog lover there is a story," says Dr. Davis. "Why do people love their dogs so much? if you hear their stories, it's not difficult to understand why. "
Dr. Davis has studied the r 5 between dogs and people for the last ten years. "I have spoken to people in parks, pet stores, and veterinary (兽医的) offices, as well as stopping people in the street. I have interviewed office workers and farmers, policemen and construction workers," says Dr Davis. "E 6 wants to talk about their dogs. Many people said they cried much more when their dogs died than when their parents did. They said the sadness was much d 7 . People are finding animals are more reliable than human beings. People tell me all the time that they get more emotional support from their dogs than they do from their husbands or wives."

When Jenny was old enough, I sent her to a kindergarten. On the first morning, Jenny spent hours playing by herself. It seemed that she felt very l 1 .
However, to my joy, Jenny's classmates always encouraged her, "You got all your spelling words right today!" In fact her spelling list was the e 2 . Later, she faced a very painful problem—at the end of the term, there was a game which had something to do with physical education. But Jenny was way behind in it.
My husband and I were anxious (忧虑)about die day. I wanted to keep her home. Why let Jenny fail in a gymnasium filled with parents, students and teachers? What a simple s 3 ! But my heart wouldn't let me off that easily. So I pushed a pale, unwilling Jenny onto the school bus.
At the kindergarten, I was quite worried because of her s 4 action, Jenny would probably hold up (阻碍) her team. The game went on well until it was time for the sack (麻袋) race. Surely Jenny would find it difficult. Now each child had to climb into a sack, jump to the finishing line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players.
But as it was her turn to join, a c 5 took place in her team. The tallest boy behind Jenny placed his hands on her waist (腰). Two other boys stood ahead of her. The moment the player before Jenny stepped out from the sack, those two boys picked up the sack quickly and held it open while the tall boy lifted Jenny and dropped her into it. A girl in front of Jenny took her hand and s 6 her until Jenny gained her balance. Then she jumped forward, smiling and proud.
In the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked Heaven for the warm, understanding people in life who make it p 7 for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried.
