think what the first few months of your life were like. I'm sure you just spent most of your time eating,
sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It look your parents more to
play with you and talk to you .You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some
sounds to go with some things.
Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by slop you were able to make sounds
you heard .And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.
On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound
means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless
everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things. they
can understand each other, so these people have a language.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant thing, such
as books, chair and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words
describe things such as good or dirty. Soon you learn to put words together to express one's idea, such
as "I want to go out and play with my friends." This is language. By the way of language people can
communicate. So we say languages mean communication.

"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked.
When the baby was in her arms and she looked upon his tiny face, she shocked. The doctor
turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred (损伤). When he rushed home from school one day and took himself into his mother's arms, she was very sad, knowing that his classmates gave him heartbreaks because of his defect. The little boy cried.
He grew up and was handsome. As a favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for this defect. He had a talent for literature and music.
"But you might be like other young people," his mother was sad but felt a kindness in her heart.
The boy's father thought "Could nothing be done'?"
"I believe I could graft（移植） on a pair of ears, if someone offered," the doctor decided. Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret."
The operation was successful, and a new person emerged (出现）.
One day, he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her."
"I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to
know...not yet."
The secret was kept for years, but the day did come. His mother died. Slowly, the father raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. It hadn’t rained in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If it didn’t rain soon, we would lose everything. On this day, I witnessed(目睹) a wonder.
I was making lunch when I saw my 6-year old son, Billy, walking very slowly toward the woods. Minutes later he came running out again, toward the house. Soon after, I saw him walking toward the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.
Billy cupped both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Leaves slapped his face but he kept walking into the woods. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head with great effort to drink the water in my boy’s hands.
When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy opened it and a small trickle(涓涓细流) came out. He knelt there, letting the drips(水滴) slowly fill up his “cup”.
Now I understood what was going on. The week before, he tried giving water to our horses but I told him not to waste water. Now when he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes filled with tears. “I’m not wasting,” he said. I joined him with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood at the edge of the woods. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops… as if the sky itself was crying.
46. What did the writer think of the son?
A. clever B. wasteful C. helpful D. forgetful
47. The boy carried the water to the baby deer _____.
A. with a small pot
B. by cupping his both hands.
