Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech.When there is a language barrier(障礙), communication is completed through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas.Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to turn to this form of expression.Many of these symbols of whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not.A wink(眨眼)can be a way of showing that the party is only joking.A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals.Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people.While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.There are many forms of communication in use today.
B.Language is the most common form of communication.
C.Tourists are unable to use an oral form of communication.
D.Ideas and thoughts can be expressed by body language.
Which form other than oral speech could be most commonly used among blind people?
A.Picture signs. B.Braille
C.Body language D.Signal flags.
Sign language is said to be very lively and exact and can be used meaningfully except for ______.
A.spelling B.idea C.whole words D.expressions
How many different forms of communication are mentioned here?
A.Five B.Seven C.Nine D.Three

The fact that blind people can see things using parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color.If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it.Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics(化妝品) should never be packed in brown.These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology.
Some of our preferences are clearly psychological.Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement.Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people's mind.People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure.Red is exciting.Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color.Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.
【小題1】The passage tells us that salesmen have____ .
A.tried colors on blind people |
B.found out that colors affect sales |
C.developed a special subject of color psychology |
D.discovered the relationship between color and psychology |
A.blind people cannot sense color differences |
B.foods sell well in green or blue wrappings |
C.w hat color we prefer depends on our state of mind |
D.a(chǎn) bright color has exactly the opposite effect to red |
A.red | B.dark blue | C.green | D.bright yellow |
A.Red. | B.Dark blue. | C.Brown. | D.Bright yellow |
A.Colors and Feelings | B.Colors and Sales |

For many blind people, computers are inaccessible. It can cost $1,000 to purchase “screen reader” software, but two blind computer programmers from Australia have solved this problem.
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) graduate James Teh and business partner Michael Curran developed a free, open-source program, called NVDA, which provides a voice to read the words on a computer screen as the cursor(光標(biāo)) moves over them. NVDA won the blind inventors an award in the grand final program of the ABC’s New Inventors, which aired on September 23. They took home the award for an invention that “might make a real difference to people’s lives or the environment.”
“A sighted person takes for granted that they can sit down at any computer and use it,” Mr Teh said. “We really are in the information age — everything is online these days. So access to computers for the blind is very important, which is why we wanted our software to be free.”
Mr Teh, who majored in software engineering at QUT, said blind students typically didn’t have the money to purchase “screen reader” technology, at the time in their life when they most needed it. Now NVDA could be downloaded on to anyone’s personal computer free of charge.
“It can also be copied to a USB stick, which can be used on any PC at school or university, with no installation required,” he said.
Mr Teh and Mr Curran have drawn on their own experience as blind computer users to develop a product which has some unique features. For example, as the mouse moves up and down the screen, a sound becomes higher and lower to let you know where the cursor is located.
NVDA has been translated into 27 languages, thanks to volunteer translators. To date, there have been over 50,000 downloads.
Mr Teh and Mr Curran have been working on the project since 2006. They worked on their product without any pay for two years. When Mozilla offered some funding in 2008, Mr Teh was able to quit his day job and work full-time developing NVDA.
1.NVDA won an award in the program of the ABC’s New Inventors because it _____.
A.causes no harm to the environment B.influences people’ s lives
C.is aiming at blind people D.is easy to use
2.Why did James Teh and Michael Curran want their software to be free?
A.They got funding from Mozilla.
B.They belonged to a volunteer group.
C.They wanted to help the blind.
D.They wanted people to give up “screen reader” software.
3.What do we know about Teh and Curran?
A.They are studying at QUT. B.They are good at translating.
C.They know how the blind feel. D.They began to develop NVDA in 2008.
