Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He   1   that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach  2   students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.

First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to 3   . Other letters, such as C ,were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.

The  4   thing they learned was finer spelling. They signed one letter after another to spell a word. They   5   with two-letter words such as at and on . Then they spelled   6   words.

Finally, Mr. Klein showed that   7   one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand,   8   the thumb(拇指) to the chest(前胸) , and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just done with the hands. Expressions on the face are also   9   . The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.

Father’s Day has a very short history. It started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And businesses(商人) found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their fathers, a present from their shops.

By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though（雖然） some have a Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do --- buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present --- not for her father but for her husband, even if（即使） he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy and buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.

The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
