Mr. Clarke lives at the foot of the mountain. He keeps the forest for a rich farmer there. The only road to the forest is just in front of his house. He can easily see the people who want to go into the forest. Sometimes he has to be on duty at night. When he hears some sound, he has to get up to see if anyone cuts the trees. One day he bought a strong dog in the town. He loves it very much and often gives some meat or bread to it. And when a strange man walks close to his house, it barks loudly. So he can soon know about it and goes out to find out who it is. But last week something was wrong with Mr. Clarke. He didn’t feel well and couldn’t fall asleep in the evening. He had to go to a hospital in the town. The doctor looked him over and then asked, “Have you got a dog, sir?” “Yes, I have got one.” “You have got skin disease,” said the doctor. “I am sure your dog infected(感染) it to you. You can’t come in touch with it any longer.” When he came out of the hospital, Mr. Clarke said to himself, “I will see another doctor.

Sign has become a scientific hot button.Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique-a speech of the hand.They offer new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language and throw new light on an old scientific controversy：Whether language，complete with grammar，is something that we are born with，or whether it is a learned behavior.The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington，D.C.，the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people. When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English，the school enrolled him in a course in signing.But Stokoe noticed something odd：among themselves，students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code，each movement of the hands representing a word in English.At the time，American Sign Language（ASL）was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English（混杂英语）.But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer.He wondered：Might deaf people actually have a genuine language？And could that language be unlike any other on Earth？It was 1955，when even deaf people considered their signing as "substandard".Stokoe's idea was academic heresy（异端邪说）. It is 37 years later.Stokoe--now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture-is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started.a revolution For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English，French and Japanese.They assumed language must be based on speech，the modulation（调节） of sound.But sign language is based on the movement of hands，the modulation of space. "What I said，" Stokoe explains， "is that language is not mouth stuff--it's brain stuff."（1）The present growing interest in sign language was encouraged to develop by ____ .A.a famous scholar in the study of the human brainB.a leading specialist in the study of liberal artsC.an English teacher in a university for the deafD.some senior experts in American Sign Language（2）According to Stokoe，sign language is ____ .A.a substandard languageB.a genuine languageC.an artificial languageD.an international language（3）Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought ____ .A.sign language was not extensively used even by deaf peopleB.sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC.a language should be easy to use and understandD.a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds

In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation(卫生)and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.What does the word" urban" (Line 2, Para. 3)mean A. Of the city.B. Out of work.C. In a bad condition.D. Of enormous size.
