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.
When Inez first entered the classroom. She looked 10 . But the students signed, “Good morning, Inez. ” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful welcome !”

“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into groups and teach them at three different, and I was notat the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon most of my friends would be themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “You’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”
