D. Read the passage below and answer the following questions (根据短文内容回答下列题) (8分)
Most people use their mouths to talk, but do you know some people use their hands to speak? Some people who cannot hear use their hands to communicate messages to others. This is called sign language. These people make shapes with their fingers, movements with their hands, as well as different faces in order to talk to other people.
ne way people speak with their hands is by making shapes for letters with their fingers. For example, if you make an "OK" sign with your thumb and finger, that is the shape for the letter "P" in American sign language. Each letter has a hand shape. This way people can spell words using their hands. For example, if you want to spell "fun", you need to make three shapes. First you make the shape for the letter "P", then the shape for the letter"", and then the shape for the letter "n".
People also move their hands to talk in sign language. If you move your hand from your nose to your chin (下巴), you can say "mother" in American sign language. Of course, you have to use the correct hand shape, too. That shape is like holding your hand open with all five fingers showing. If you move your hand from the top of your head to your chin, you can say "father". Again, you have to use the same hand shape that you use for "mother".
Finally, people can change their faces to communicate in sign language. For example, if you want to ask a question, you need to make your eyebrows (眉毛)go up. You also need to move your head forward a little.
If you want to say "I don't know", you need to make your eyes smaller and make your eyebrows go down.
