Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He   1  that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach  2  students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.
First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to . Other letters, such as C ,were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.
The  4  thing they learned was finer spelling. They signed one letter after another to spell a word. They   5  with two-letter words such as at and on . Then they spelled   6  words.
Finally, Mr. Klein showed that   7  one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand,   8  the thumb(拇指) to the chest(前胸) , and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just done with the hands. Expressions on the face are also   9   . The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.
When Inez first entered the classroom. She looked   10  . But the students signed, “Good morning, Inez. ” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful welcome !”

She had already been a professional  58  before many women had jobs.She taught in Africa for many years. Then she moved to Malaysia and taught English there for a few years. At that time,people didn’t tralvel   59   a plane, so she had to travel there by ship. It took her three months  60  from England to Malaysia in those days. In 1947,she traveled by plane for the first time. This made traveling  61  easier and quicker. She continued to teach around the world until she was 75 years old.
Jenny really loved teaching and she was also good at telling stories. I always loved to hear her   62  her stories. They were   63   interesting that I would like to listen to her when I was free. It was   64  that she could remember everything even though she was so old. I think it was because she never stopped  65  .My grandmother’s sister was really an amazing woman.
