And still thers dn’t use their hands much at all. N matter which grup yu are in, it’s imprtant t pay attentin t yur hand gestures while yu are cmmunicating.

A few years ag, I was a speaker at a cnference in Lisbn, Prtugal. It was my first time in Prtugal, and I became immediately fnd f the special pastries (糕点) that Lisbn and Prtugal are knwn fr. One mrning I went int a bakery and rdered tw f the pastries. I did s by hlding up tw fingers, similar t the “victry” r “peace” gesture in the United States. The persn behind the cunter put three pastries in the bx. I later learned that the gesture fr tw wuld raise thumb and index finger. Even thugh my thumb wasn’t shwing, the persn behind the cunter thught I was signaling fr three.
I was lucky that I didn’t get int mre truble than an extra pastry. Many hand gestures are nt universal. Befre speaking in a cuntry that yu are nt familiar with, d sme research t find ut which gestures might be misunderstd, nt understd at all r rude.

Althugh tys’ packaging says it’s educatinal, it desn’t make it s. That’s the finding frm a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that fund sme tys being marketed as language prmters gt in the way f learning.
Research shws that fr kids t understand, speak and eventually read r write a language, they need t hear it—lts f it. And it’s never t early fr parents and caregivers t get talking. That explains the bming industry in talking electrnic tys that claim t help kids learn language.
Prfessr Anna Ssa, f Nrthern Arizna University, led the study and says she gave families three different kinds f tys t play with: bks, traditinal tys like humble blcks and a shape srter, and electrnic tys. Ssa says she picked thse tys because they are advertised in their packaging as language­prmters fr babies between the ages f 10 and 16 mnths.
“We had a talking n farm­animal names and things,” Ssa says f the electrnic tys. “We had a baby cell phne. And we had a baby laptp. S yu pen the cver and start pushing buttns, and it tells yu things. The parent­child cuples were asked t play separately with each type f ty ver the curse f three days.”
“When there’s smething else that’s ding sme talking, the parents seem t be sitting n the sidelines and letting the ty talk fr them and respnd fr them，” Ssa says. “That’s bad because the best way a ty can prmte language in infants and tddlers is by stimulating interactin between parent and child. There’s simply n evidence that a yung child can learn language directly frm a ty. It isn’t respnsive enugh. It isn’t scial.”
As fr the ther tys, traditinal blcks and puzzles stimulated mre cnversatin than the electrnic tys, and bks utscred them all. But dn’t underestimate the humble blck. While traditinal tys fell shrt f bks in interactin quantity, Ssa ntes, they kept pace in terms f quality.
28.What is the finding f the research led by Prfessr Anna Ssa?
A. Ty industry is facing new challenges in marketing.
B. Kids shuld be taught t learn with tys as early as pssible.
C. Peple might be misled by the statements f sme ty makers.
D. Parents need t be cautius when chsing tys fr their kids.
29. Accrding t the passage, why are talking electrnic tys s ppular?
A. Because they represent the latest creatins.
B. Because they aruse the interest in learning.
C. Because they are used as an educatinal tl.
D. Because they are easy fr the kids t cntrl.
30.We can infer frm the passage that it is necessary fr the parents t ________.
A. share their experiences f reading with their kids
B. spare mre time t stay with their kids at hme
C. encurage their kids t attend scial activities
D. get invlved in the cnversatins with their kids
31.What is the authr’s attitude t electrnic tys as language prmters?
A. Critical. B. Dubtful. C. Supprtive. D. Objective.

Angel Garcia Cresp is a cmputer engineer at Carls Ⅲ University f Madrid in Spain. His grup has invented a new way fr deaf­blind peple t “watch” TV. The idea fr the technlgy grew ut f previus wrk by his grup. The team had already wrked n making audivisual (视听的) materials accessible t peple with either visin r hearing disabilities. But the grup wanted t help peple with bth challenges. S they asked sme deaf­blind peple what wuld help.
In additin t relying n their sense f tuch t cmmunicate, deaf­blind peple can als get and send infrmatin with a Braille line. The Braille system uses patterns f raised dts t stand fr letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electrnic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dts rise up r drp dwn based n the infrmatin sent t the machine.
Nw the new system changes TV signals t data a Braille line can use. “The key t the system is the pssibility f using subtitles (字幕) t cllect TV infrmatin,” Garcia Cresp explains. “Subtitles travel with the image (影像) and the audi in electrmagnetic waves we dn’t see. But an electrnic system can keep thse waves.”
First, a cmputer prgram, r app, pulls ut the subtitles and visual descriptins frm the bradcast signal. The system then cmbines the infrmatin and changes bth int data fr Braille.
Nw anther app gets t wrk, which sends the data ut t peple’s Braille lines n demand. “This is dne in real time, in less than a secnd,” Garcia Cresp says. This lets a deaf­blind persn “watch” TV as it’s bradcast. The system will wrk with varius Braille lines, as lng as there’s a bluetth cnnectin available. Nw, the system is nly used in Eurpe, and it shuld sn be available in the US.
32.What inspired Garcia Cresp’s grup t wrk n the new technlgy?
A. Deaf­blind peple’s pr life.
B. Their pity n the disabled peple.
C. The challenges they face in wrk.
D. Their grup’s previus research.
33.Why can the electrnic system cllect TV infrmatin?
A. It can cmbine all kinds f bradcast signals.
B. It can keep the waves with subtitles travelling.
C. It can wrk tgether with a variety f Braille lines.
D. It can pull ut the subtitles and visual descriptins.
34.What des the authr think f the future f the new technlgy?
A. Challenging. B. Bright. C. Rewarding. D. Hpeless.
35.What shuld be a suitable title fr the text?
A. New Technlgy Is Imprving Deaf­blind Peple’s Life
B. A New Braille Line Is Applied t Disabled Peple’s Life
C. A Spanish Grup Makes TV Accessible t Blind Peple
D. New Technlgy Helps Deaf­blind Peple “Watch” TV
