Just as with any other subject，people who learn sign language are learning a new skill and using their brains to do this，thus expanding their minds in a new field.
A research has been carried out which proves that deaf children who learn sign language at an early age are more likely to do well academically.This is partly due to their increased ability to communicate with those around them.However，it is also because sign language is not，as many people mistakenly think，a system of gestures representing words，but a complicated language system，just as the English which is used in this article.Thus，children who learn sign language have already learned about the way language works and is made up，which will help in future studies especially if they decide to learn to speak English，or any other spoken language.
A deaf child who can use sign language develops a sense of identity.This will lead to a happier and more confident child because they know their place in the world is secure.
Again，for non-deaf children and adults who learn sign language，the academic advantages spread into social and cultural ones.Learning a language gives rise to greater confidence for those people，as they are able to converse(交流)with someone whose peers may struggle to do so.And the skills of language learning are easily transferable into learning other languages but also into other academic pursuits.
There can be no doubt that learning sign language is a useful attempt for anyone—whether they are deaf or non-deaf.The social and cultural advantages should not be taken lightly.And，especially with children，learning a language which helps people with a disadvantage may encourage them in the future to do more—volunteering and other such work.They can be taught to hug all people regardless of their differences.

A．Causes of deaf children losing their hearing.

A．It makes a deaf child more humorous.
B．It gives a deaf child a sense of belonging.
C．It provides a deaf child with a life without danger.
D．It helps a deaf child perform well in building up their body.

A．Socially responsible.
B．Slightly imperfect.
C．Extremely intelligent.

11-year-old child Tanishq Abraham is in the news for graduating from college with three different degrees.The talented kid from California made headlines last year as well，for completing high school at the age of ten.
Last week’s graduation ceremony was attended by Tanishq’s parents—his mother Taji，a doctor，and his father Bijou，a software engineer.They cheered for Tanishq as he was awarded associate degrees in math and physical sciences，general science，and language studies.He wore a rainbow-colored scarf that his grandmother had made specially for the occasion.
“The assumption is that he’s the all-time youngest，” said college spokesman Scott Crow.“But we don’t have all the records to completely confirm.He was beyond doubt the youngest this year.”
Tanishq said that he wasn’t frightened by the fact that his classmates were all twice his age，especially because he was well-received.“A lot were really happy that there was a kid in their class，” he said.And his parents were pretty low-key about the whole affair，being used to all his accomplishments since a young age.“Even in kindergarten，he was a few years ahead，” Taji said.“It just went from there.”
Interestingly，Tanishq has been home-schooled by his mother.He’s also been taking classes at the American River College since he was seven years old.
You’d probably think that Tanishq is done with books for his life，but he actually has no plans to stop learning.“I want to become a doctor，” he said after the ceremony.“But I also want to become a medical researcher，and also the president of the United States.” In a tweet，he showed that he hopes to win the Nobel Prize some day in medicine or research.In the meantime，he plans to spend his summer on a family vacation and a Calculus Ⅱ course.
5．What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A．Tanishq obtained four degrees at a time.
B．Tanishq’s family has gone well off after his graduation.
C．Tanishq wore a specifically made scarf to his graduation ceremony.
D．Tanishq’s family held a party for Tanishq to celebrate his graduation.
6．Why did Tanishq say that he was not afraid of being the youngest at school
A．Because his classmates were all twice his age.
B．Because his classmates were nice.
C．Because he focused all on study.
D．Because he was popular at school.
7．Which word can best describe Tanishq
A．Ambitious. B．Warm-hearted.
C．Realistic. D．Easy-going.
8．What is Tanishq’s plan according to the last paragraph
A．He plans to stop learning because he is done with books for his life.
