Galaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening．She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction．He told her that he did not know．Galaxy decided to help them．She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute(聋哑)school．Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later．
She received an email from that man the next day．Kazrim was his name．Galaxy replied his mail sincerely．They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other．Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her．
Galaxy was fond of him gradually．Obviously, Kazrim was the same too．He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised．She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents．
As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story．Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person．He has a very positive attitude towards life and work．He cares for others always．He is 100％ better than the normal．Moreover, the mute is still a human．He should possess a perfect and wonderful love．”
Her parents asked to see him, then．The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later．When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ‘‘I'm going to tell your parents I'll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved．
As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents．She said, ‘‘This is Kazrim．” Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened．Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly．zxxk
He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too．
The four people were shocked all of a sudden．As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply．

What can we learn about the two young people from the passage?
The government-run command post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians．On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy．
What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫)．In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation．The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe．The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea．Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth．The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine．Each locust can eat its weight(not quite a tenth of an ounce)in vegetation every 24 hours．A good-size swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night．
All ﹩150 million may be needed this year．The U．S．has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal．of pesticide．The European Community has donated ﹩3．8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests．But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications．The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations．More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June．
On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms．The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought under control．
