Tragedy at the circus
In yesterday's circus show,a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead. As the circus packed up and left,circus officials said the show would go on,even without tigers.
However,the officials can't simply turn a blind eye to the ethical prob?lems left behind. Even before this tragedy,animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit of circus organizers.
It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.
Circus safe for animals
Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public,we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in "Tragedy at the circus".
First,our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the eth?ical problems,we always believe humans and animals can—and should―live together nicely. To us， the performing animals are representatives of their species(物种) ，and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the "wild" is unsafe,but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.
This circus has proved that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans：people are educated,and species saved. 1. What is the main purpose of the first passage?
A.To show pity for the performing animals.
B.To express worries about animal trainers' safety.
C.To deal with the difficult situations of the circus.
D.To call for action to protect circus animals.
2.What will the circus most probably do?
A.Take no notice of the tragedy.
B.Continue its performances.
C.Use fewer wild animals.
D.Limit its profit.
3.What does the circus think of its performing animals?
A.They are as clever as human beings.
B.They struggle continuously with human beings for existence.
C.They are helpful in saving their species.
D.They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.
4.What is the most probable relationship between the two passages?
A.A public request and a newspaper report.
B.A newspaper article and a reply to it.
C.Two parts of a newspaper article.
D.Two newspaper reports.

Why should you learn sign language? Do you want to improve your communication with a family member or friend who is deaf? Do you want to be able to communicate with deaf people in general? Would you like to advance in your career by being able to communicate in ASL? Do you want to be a sign language interpreter?
Sign language is not just a random(随意的) collection of gestures but a full-blown(完全成熟的) language in its own right,complete with its own grammatical rules. Each country or region has its own sign language, as different from each other as English is from Spanish. Each version of sign language is somewhat linked to the spoken language in its region. For example, Ameri?can sign language does share similarities with English, even though it is its own language.
The advantages of knowing sign language in addition to a spoken language are many. Com?munication becomes possible on many levels with the deaf community，with other people either hearing or not in any of the above situations, as well as many more.
While other languages take years to learn，American sign language can be taught in a much shorter time period. It is one of the easiest languages to learn because most of the signs were de?veloped to mimic the actual word or phrase it is representing. Even the alphabet signs look like the letters of the English alphabet.
American sign language, or ASL,is the third most used language in the United States, used by the deaf community, interpreters, and friends or family of the deaf. There are a lot of sites on the internet that not only show you the signs with video，but also help you practice read?ing signs as well.
Teaching babies sign language seems to be the fashion in recent years and for good reasons. Communicating in sign language is fun and natural as babies naturally use body gestures in early communication. Teaching baby sign language actually appears to enhance the learning of verbal skills and brain development of the children involved. ( ) 5.
