There are many languages in the world. Do you know there is a language that is used in every country in the world? The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody's second language. It is easy to understand, although you can't hear it. It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying，“I want to be friendly.”，but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class，you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can't talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest，Charles Michael de Epee，became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet(字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington D．C..
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don't spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together，it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor's mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.

Traveling around the world is a dream that many people have. However, for many people this dream is too expensive to realize. Fortunately there are ways to cut costs when planning a trip around the world, such as using an around－the－world ticket. If you are ready for a real adventure, then take these steps to plan your trip around the world.
Find your best airfare options. Check with various airlines and travel agencies to find out which airline offers the best prices and service for international fares or around－the－world tickets. Know that some airlines have stricter rules and restrictions than others. Look for the ticket that gives you the most flexibility as well as the best price.
Estimate when you'll take your around－the－world trip. Make an itinerary to plan a trip around the world: decide which countries you want to visit and how much time you'll want to spend in each. Decide on cities and towns you want to visit. Figure out what activities you want to do.
Set a date and purchase your plane tickets or your around－the－world ticket. Check first with your travel agency or the airline and ask about package deals that include accommodations and other services (e.g. car rentals or tours)．Know that some air ticket purchases may automatically include discounts for accommodations and other services.
Book accommodations. Confirm hotel or hostel reservations before leaving on your trip. Print out confirmation numbers or receipts—one set to leave at home and one set to take with you—to plan a trip around the world.
Get a passport, if you need one, and all of the travel visas that you will need for your trip. Organize items you'll need to apply for your passport. Realize that processing your passport takes much longer. Plan months ahead.
Pack light. Leave a few special outfits behind—you'll be glad to be without the extra clothes while carrying your luggage during your trip. Mix and match clothes. Fit the majority of your stuff into one large backpack or duffle bag ideally. Make sure it's not too heavy since you may end up carrying luggage for long periods of time. Set aside stuff you'll need on hand to keep in one carry－on bag.
25．How can you prepare for a trip around the world?
A．Choose the most suitable airline.
B．Take the most expensive airline.

Harry Potter Theme Park
Universal Orlando Resort (奥兰多环球影城度假村) is opening a Harry Potter theme park that will let fans visit many of the locations in the books and movies that endeared (使受钟爱) the boy magician to millions.
“The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” is set to open at Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park in late 2009, complete with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry，the Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmeade village.
“The plans I've seen look incredibly exciting, and I don't think fans of the books or films will feel disappointed，”said author J. K. Rowling, who has been working with a creative team to make sure the park resembles the books and films.
“More than a dozen artists led by Stuart Craig, the production designer of the movies, have set up houses in the studio where the movies are being filmed to make sure every detail is considered，”said Scott Trowbridge of Universal.
The park will let visitors view the famed locations in Rowling's magical world, like Dumbledore's office in Hogwarts and the shops in Hogsmeade. Some locations may be in upcoming (即将出现的) books.
Many tourists outside the theme park said the experience would boost its appeal to younger audience.
Trowbridge said while there would not be any character looking alike at the park, fans wanting to see Harry Potter and his magical friends wouldn't leave disappointed.
“This is Harry's world，”said Trowbridge. “Every fan wants to have an encounter (相遇) with the stars of the show.”
29．The Harry Potter theme park will ________.
A．give the visitors beautiful natural view
B．give the visitors a lot of books
C．let the visitors experience many of locations in the books and movies about Harry Potter
D．let the visitors see lots of animals
30．What's the opinion of J. K. Rowling about the Harry Potter theme park?
A．She thought it was a failure.
B．She didn't think highly of it.
C．She thought that the fans of the books or films would feel disappointed.
D．She thought it would be popular with the fans of the books or films.
31．Which of the following is right?
A．A dozen artists have set up houses in the studio.
B．The production designer of the movies is Stuart Craig.
C．All of the locations are in the books now.
D．The experience would reduce its appeal to younger audience.
D
Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes．To some degree our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence．On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied environment．Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment．This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways．
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with．The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence．Thus if we take two unrelated people at random（随机地） from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different．If on the other hand we take two identical （完全相同的） twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other．Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth．
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different surroundings．We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring．We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part．This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence．
32．Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Para．1?　　
A．To some degree, intelligence is given at birth．　　
B．Intelligence is developed by the environment．　　
C．Some people are born clever and others born stupid．　　
D．Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment．
33．It is suggested in this passage that_______．　　
A．unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence　　
B．close relations usually have similar intelligence　　
C．the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D．people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
34．In Para.3, the word "surroundings" means_______．　　
A．intelligence B．life C．environments D．housing
35．The best title for this article would be_______．　　
A．On Intelligence
B．What Intelligence Means 　　
C．We are Born with Intelligence
D．Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence

This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy.__36__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
