Nine-year-old Alice Cogswell sat in her neighbor’s yard in Hartford, Connecticut. She watched the children of her block play. From their smiles she could tell that they were laughing. But she couldn't hear their shouts or giggles. Alice had been deaf from the age of 2, living in a silent world since a serious illness robbed her of hearing.

The year was 1814, and few opportunities existed for children like Alice. Unable to hear or talk, she didn't attend school like her older sisters. There were no teachers to teach deaf children. In those days, most people believed that deaf children couldn't learn at all.

But Alice was about to help change her own life—and the lives of deaf children across America. That day, her neighbor's son, a young minister named Thomas Gallaudet, noticed that Alice wasn't playing with the other kids. When he tried speaking to her, he realized that she couldn't hear. Still, he couldn't miss her bright and curious eyes. Placing his hat on the ground, he scratched the letters H-A-T. Alice made the connection! Soon she had learnt to read arid write dozens of words.

Gallaudet had read about schools for the deaf in Europe. Why shouldn't Alice and other deaf children in the United States have such a school? Heartened by Alice's progress, Gallaudet decided to go to Europe to learn their methods. After 15 months there, Gallaudet returned to Connecticut, bringing with him Laurent Clerc, a teacher from a famous school for the deaf in Paris, France.

Gallaudet and Clerc opened the country's first deaf school in 1817, and Alice was the first pupil to enroll. Together, the teachers and students一33 in its initial year — created American Sign Language, based partly on French sign language and partly oil signs the students had invented. Deaf students could now learn subjects like reading, history, and math, as well as skills like shoemaking and cabinetmaking (家具制造) for the boys and sewing and housekeeping for the girls.

69. Alice Cogswell was deaf because of _________.

       A) her teachers                                                 B) a serious illness

b. Alice was enrolled in the deaf school.

 Young children have many interests. A parent's job is to develop those interests and find activities in which their children can be active, be creative and learn to work with others. Parents must be careful not to make children busy with so many activities that they don't have enough time to finish their homework. The following are some tips on how to balance homework and after-school activities for children:

At the beginning of the school year, ask your child's teacher how much time might be expected for homework each evening.

Decide how many after-school activities your child will take part in. If the child is just beginning school, start with one after-school activity. Decide which activity is the most important for your child.

Keep a family calendar, including school activities, project dates and after-school schedules on the calendar. This will be easier to keep up with than the many paper calendars sent home from each activity. Put the family calendar in a central location in your house to let your child know what you expect him or her to do first after school each day.

Make your child finish schoolwork first. This will help your child develop good homework habits even in the earliest grades. If an after-school activity takes place directly after school, do homework immediately following the activity.

Communicate with your child's teacher or after-school activity leader. Tell him or her that you think schoolwork should be more important than the activity, and that schoolwork should come first.

Re-evaluate (重新评价) your child's activities at the end of each grading period. If your child does not seem to enjoy an activity, it might be best to stop the activity as soon as possible.

 

88. What does the passage mainly talk about?

89. What kind of activities should parents find for their children?

90. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

91. What is the purpose of making children do homework first after school?

92. Whom is the passage written for?

93. What do you think of homework and after-school activities in your school life?
