For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.
But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.
How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain
movements using their hands, faces and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their forefingers across their lips. This meant “ you are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins(下巴) with three fingers. This meant “ my uncle”.
The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way , they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.
Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak. 56. Sign language is _____.

A lot of people think Scotland is a part of England , but, as any Scotsman will tell you , it certainly is not. In fact, until the eighteenth century Scotland was an independent country, with a parliament of its own. The English had tried many times over many centuries to bring Scotland under their rule. They succeeded at last in 1707, and some Scots have never forgiven them.
Scotland is now governed from London, but in some ways it is still a separate nation. It has its own capital city(Edinburgh),its own law, and its own stamps, it even has a language of its own, spoken now by only a few people in the islands.
In some ways Southern Scotland is like England, with his good farmland and
low green hills. Central and Northern (the Highlands) have high mountains and deep valleys, fast rivers and cold lakes. These days, of course, there are good roads and railways all through Scotland. Aberdeen, the northeast city where the oil from the North Sea comes to land, is especially easy to reach. But it can still be quite different to travel in the winter when the hills are covered with snow. It always takes a long time to visit the beautiful but far-off islands on the west coast. One reason why Scotland has stayed so different from England is the wildness of the land. It has always been difficult to get around there.
63. From the history of the Great Britain we can know Scotland________.
A. had been an independent country by the 19th century B. had been a dependent country by the 18 century C. was a separate country before the 18th century D. was a dependent country before 18th century 64. The first paragraph tell us _______.

A. which is spoken by all the Scots B. which not many people speak now
C. which is almost the same as English language D. which the English prevent from being spoken 66. From the third paragraph we can infer ______.
A. there are no good roads in Scotland because of high mountains B. there are no railways in Scotland because of deep valleys
C. England has not any rivers and lakes in the center and the north D. England has good farmland and low green hills
D Mr and Mrs Scott needed to buy furniture for the living room in their new house. They went to a big department store and found a sofa that they both liked very much. It was exactly what they wanted. The price tag said, “The Princess Luxury Modern Sofa, $795. ” They were shocked at the price. That was a lot more than they planned to spend . After a while of thinking they decided to buy it anyway.
Three days later, Mr Scott was reading the morning newspaper, and he was surprised to see the following advertisement:
* Bargain prices on furniture! Sofa, chairs, tables beds─all at reduced
