Mr.
Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He 39 that
Inez was deaf. She “talked”with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language,
and he decided to teach 40 students so that they could also “talk”with Inez.
First,
they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to 41 . Other
letters, such as C, were easier because the shape (形状)of the hand was the same as the
shape of the letter.
The 42
thing they learned was fingerspelling. They signed one letter after another
to spell a word. They 43 with two-letter words such as at and on. Then
they spelled 44 words.
Finally,
Mr. Klein showed that 45 one sign could be used for a whole word. To
make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out (张开)the fingers on one hand, 46 the
thumb (拇指)to the chest (前胸)，and
moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just 47 with the
hands. Expressions on the face are also 48 . The students learned to
sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.
When
Inez first entered the classroom, she looked 49 . But the students
signed, “Good morning,
Inez.”She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful 50 !”
