This scenario(场景)is my nightmarish(噩梦般的)vision of the future,which hasn't come to pass──at least not yet.
I should say I really do like many aspects of technology.I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter.But I am writing this because I don't want machines to take over.

As Easy as 1,2,3

“Uno,dos,tres…”James counted out loud the number of pages in his history report. His older brother,Matt,sat across the kitchen table from him.

“What are you doing now,James?”asked Matt,slightly bothered by James’s loud voice. “I’m trying to study for my math test. I can’t focus on my study if you keep talking.”Matt complained.

“I need to count the number of pages. We need to have at least five pages about the American Revolution. So far I only have three.”

“Why do you have to count out loud?Why does it have to be in Spanish?”Matt asked.

“Because we’re learning our numbers in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher said that speaking to others loudly instead of reading to ourselves will help us with our pronunciation.”

“I’m going to another room,”Matt said as he picked up his books.

“Okay,but you’ll be sorry when the day comes that I know Spanish and you don’t,” James joked.

A few weeks later,James and Matt visited the local grocery store. While they were there,Matt saw a sign written in Spanish.

“James,”Matt said to his brother.“Do you know what this sign says?”Matt asked,expecting James to stare at the sign without understanding.

To Matt’s surprise,James read the sign out loud.“The sign says,‘Hello. Welcome to our store,” James said. Matt was surprised. He knew that James had been practicing Spanish,but he did not realize that his brother was advancing that quickly.

“I can also read that sign over there,”James said,pointing to a sign warning customers about the wet floor.

“Well,James,”Matt said as they walked out of the store.“I’m impressed by how quickly you are learning to speak Spanish.”

“Spanish is easy and fun to learn,”James replied,smiling with confidence.“You should practice with me. We could both speak Spanish at home.”

Matt thought about James’s remark and said,“That’s a great idea!”

18.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.Before you know it,you'll forget you were ever worried!
Method 1:Staring Your Conversation
(36)AYou 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.If it's a real emergency,you can also turn the lights off and on quickly.
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.(37)E
Fid 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.(38)F
Method 2:Communicating through Lip-reading.
Keep your sentences simple and use plain language.(39)GThe more complex your phrasing and vocabulary,the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something.Try to avoid using slang or expressions that aren't widely known.
When someone else is speaking,don't turn away from the deaf person in your group.(40)DYou 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 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.
