About a week after Glenda and Raphi Savitz welcomed their daughter Samantha to the world， they learned that she was deaf.

“She was the first deaf person we had known， so obviously it was really a challenge，” Glenda says. “We knew right away that we had to get involved in the deaf community and get immersed （專心的） in American Sign Language （ASL）.” What the new parents didnt know then was that their new neighbors would decide to start learning ASL， too.

The family had moved to their neighborhood just three months earlier. When they moved in， a neighbor stopped by to deliver Glenda a telephone directory （電話簿） of everyone who lives in the neighborhood， complete with photos and contact information.

Its a place people dont want to leave. Its also a place where people are serious about being good neighbors. So when Samantha went out with her parents， neighbors like Jill McNeil were really sad that they couldnt greet the girl with words. Then he thought， “Since she could learn our language， why dont we learn hers？”

McNeil and three other neighbors quietly signed up for local adult education classes in ASL. As with any new languages， learning ASL takes time. But McNeil says the classes are working. “We know how to say， ‘Are you riding your bike？ or ‘You have pretty new pink sports shoes. Theres a dog across the street that she loves to play with. So we all know the sign for ‘dog.”

The classes have been such a hit that there are now two offerings， on two different weeknights， bringing the number of neighbors learning the language to about 40.

“Were just thankful that we live here and that were surrounded with these wonderful people，” Raphi Savitz says. And theyre not the only ones who say theyre grateful.

“We are really enjoying the whole process， not only learning ASL， but learning together，” says McNeil. “Its made our neighborhood a closer place.”

1. How did Samanthas parents probably feel when they knew she was deaf？

A. Disappointed. B. Annoyed. C. Concerned. D. Confused.

2. Why did the neighbor give Glenda the telephone directory？

A. To ask for her familys information. B. To show the history of the neighborhood.

C. To help her family know neighbors better. D. To continue a tradition in the neighborhood.

3. What made McNeil sad according to Paragraph 4？

A. He couldnt talk to Samantha. B. He found it hard to master ASL.

C. He learned that Samantha is deaf. D. He left a bad impression on Samantha.

4. What did learning ASL bring to the neighborhood according to McNeil？

A. Better living conditions. B. An open mind to deaf people.

C. An increase in learning new skills. D. Stronger ties among neighbors.

Hollywood is looking East. It is integrating （融入） more and more Chinese elements， such as martial arts， pandas and the Chinese language， into its large-scale productions. 1 Here， we list just a few of these elements.

The Chinese people.

Hollywood has a history of casting Caucasian （白種人） actors for films where the race of the character is anything but white. 2 Kung fu superstar Bruce Lee was perhaps the first Chinese face Hollywood familiarized itself with. Jackie Chan， Chow Yun-fat and Jet Lee followed his footsteps. Gong Li starring in Miami Vice is an award-winning actress. 3 Ang Lee is already a household name in Hollywood. Jason Woo， Zhang Yimou are also world-famous directors.

Kung fu and pandas seem to be the two iconic elements associated with China. This is also shown in films. Animated film Kung Fu Panda， a hugely successful production is also a perfect integration of Chinas national martial art kung fu and Chinas national treasure， the panda.

The Chinese language.

5 In the film Red， Actor Bruce Willis said “A few years ago， I lived in Wuhan” in Chinese. This caused quite a stir （轟動(dòng)） in the theaters for Chinese audiences. In Pearl Harbor， Alec Baldwin taught American soldiers how to say “I am an American” in Chinese. Nicholas Cage also delivered one of his most recognized lines “I prefer to shoot” in Chinese in Lord of War.

A. Symbols of China.

B. The Chinese elements.

C. Now， things are changing.

D. Western actors showed their language skills on the big screen.

E. They are getting more and more important place in Western films.

F. More Chinese faces were introduced to the silver screen around the world.

Last Sunday， I joined a voluntary activity organized by our school to visit the child in the west of the city. We set off at eight oclock by school bus but it took about an hour. When we got here， first， we handed out the school things we had been prepared for the kids. Then we gave them some wonderfully performances and the kids sang some songs for them. After that we played games， that made us very happy. We said goodbye and returned our school in the late afternoon. What I learn from this experience is beneficial. Looking forward to get involved in such activities again.

Hello， everyone！ I would like to say something about Nelson Mandela. He is a world-famous hero.

Born in 1918， he was the only educated member in his family. He set up the ANC Youth League， which led black people to fight for freedom. In 1962， he was sent to prison. Although he spent 27 years in prison， he didnt give up on fighting. After his release， he still fought for the rights of black people actively. Finally， black people achieved their dream of being equal to white people. As a result of what Mandela did for black people， he became the first black president of South Africa and won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Mandela is an extraordinary people， whom I admire for his great personality charm.

Thank you！
