Are we about to enter an era of video conferencing? In the distant future, we may be able to communicate by sending our thoughts through a network (6) into someone else’s brain. We’re decades away from such technology, but scientists are working on creating brain-computer interfaces that allow people to (7) thoughts directly to a Computer.

Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks.
SIGN LANGUAGE.
Because deaf people cannot hear, they have special ways of communicating. For example, they can learn to understand what someone is saying by looking at the mouth of the speaker. This is called lipreading. Also, speaking is very difficult for the deaf, because they cannot hear their own voices. However, it is possible with special training. According to many deaf people all around the world, the most practical and popular way of communicating is with sign language.
In many ways, sign language is similar to spoken language. The words of sign language are made with signs, which are formed with movements of the hands, face, and body. As with words, each sign has a different meaning and can be combined to form sentences. Sign languages also have their own grammar. The alphabet of sign language is special hand signs that stand for letters; they make spelling possible. The signs combine to form a rich language that can express the same thoughts, feelings, and ideas as any spoken language. And just as people from different countries speak different languages, most countries have their own variety of sign language.
Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
- Deaf people have two main ways of communicating with others.
- Deaf people often find lipreading difficult because they can’t speak.
- Sign language is the most widely-used method of communication.
- Deaf people use hand signs to spell letters of the alphabet.
- Sign language has letters, but no words.
- Thoughts, feelings, and ideas can be expressed through the combination of signs.
- People in different countries use the same sign language.
Answer the questions.
- How can deaf people communicate with others?
- Why is speaking difficult for the deaf?
- Is sign language similar to spoken language in every way?
- How is sign language expressed?
- What stands for letters in the alphabet of sign language?
- Does sign language differ between countries?

The very first, simple, text message was sent on December 3rd, 1992. It was sent by software engineer Neil Papworth to his boss at the British mobile phone operator Vodafone. It read simply, “Merry Christmas”. Little did they know that their simple mode of communication would take the world by storm. SMS (Short Message Service) is today a multi-billion-dollar industry covering every corner of the globe. An estimated nine trillion text messages are sent globally each year. Everyone from presidents to schoolchildren to villagers in remote parts of developing countries relies on it to communicate.
SMS is now an integral part of daily life for most of us. It is the preferred method of communication between family members. One study showed that the average American teenager sends up to 60 texts a day. However, SMS has also been blamed for a decline in language ability and an increase in traffic accidents. A new sub-language has spread worldwide as texters find shortcuts to write their messages as quickly as possible using the fewest possible characters. Texting shorthand such as LOL (laugh out loud) and OMG (oh my god) has even entered the Oxford English Dictionary.
Match the following synonyms from the article.
- age a. faraway
- mode b. held responsible
- remote c. decrease
- relies d. method

- The first text message was sent to engineer Neil Papworth in 1992.

- Around nine billion text messages are sent worldwide every year.
- An average US teen supposedly sends more than 60 text messages a day.

Dad! What is that girl doing? Which girl?
The one on the bottom left corner on the TV. Ah! She is talking with deaf audiences.
Talking? I don’t think so. She’s just moving her hands and smiles sometime.
Well, I mean she is communicating with people who cannot hear the news on TV. It’s sign language. Can they understand all of those signs? It seems not easy at all.
They can, I think. They must have learnt sign language. You’re right. But why not read the running text on the bottom?
That running text is not about the news, just related information. Oh, I see. How about running a subtitle as in a film?
There’s a subtitle already. Don’t you see the text at the beginning of each piece of news? That text is too short.
Short but useful. And the signs are helpful, too news? I see, Dad.
