learned American Sign Language. With American Sign Language, deaf people use their hands to communicate.
They can spell words with their fingers, or they can use signs for whole words. Wayne communicated with
teachers and friends in sign language. He graduated at the age of 20. In those days, people who were deaf did
not get jobs and were not part of the community (社区), so Wayne went back to the family farm. His family
did not know sign language, so Wayne communicated a little by making simple motions (手势) with his hands.
He was never able to tell them his thoughts and feelings.
Wayne"s father died in 1971. There was no place for Wayne to live, so they sent him to Mountain
Meadows nursing home. He was only 51 and much younger and healthier than the other people in the nursing
home, but he was treated like the 80 and 90-year-old people because he did not hear or speak. No one knew
that Wayne was able to use sign language.
Twenty-nine years passed slowly and silently for Wayne. Then one day he saw a visitor using sign
language with her deaf mother during a visit to the nursing home. He walked up to them and signed, "I"m
Wayne Mix."
Suddenly everything changed for Wayne. He found many people who knew sign language. These-people
communicated through sign language, e-mail, television with subtitles and a special telephone that prints (打印)
the words that are spoken. It was a whole new world for Wayne. Now he could tell people his feelings, his
needs, and his thoughts.
The people in Wayne"s town were sad about the thousands of days in Wayne"s life when no one knew
that he could communicate. They wanted to help Wayne to do some of the things he always wanted to do.
The workers at the nursing home found out that as a young man he loved to swim, and" he loved to see
pictures of dolphins swimming. When he started signing again, they asked him where he wanted to go.
"Water." Wayne signed.
Mountain Meadows workers had an idea. "Let"s send Wayne to Sea World in San Diego. "They told other
people in town about their idea. Many people in Wayne" s . town and in other states gave money to help
Wayne make the trip. The people at Sea World were very kind to Wayne. They let him swim with the dolphins
and help them feed all the sea animals. Newspapers wrote about Wayne, so many people gave money to buy
him a special TV and a telephone set. These were things Wayne never knew about before.
B. By drawing pictures.
C. By spelling words on their hands.
D. By making simple "motions.
B. Because nobody in his family knew the sign language.
C. Because his family was not able to provide him a room to live in.
D. Because he like to talk with the old people living in the nursing home.
B. His life stayed the same as before.
C. He could send e-mails and make telephones to his new friends.
D. He could "talk" with people, telling them his needs and feelings.

in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith,
asked if she"d like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of
college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel
cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed
anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The

helped her customer (顾客).

fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in
his pocket all the time.
Gloria persuaded (说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, some
doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.
Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired
hand and say, "Thank you." What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!
