able to use a spoken language. But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language. How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their forefingers across their lips. This meant “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins with three fingers. This meant “My uncle”. The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet (字母 表 ). They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute. Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak. 1. In the 1700s, the deaf were taught .

You may be so determined to protect your kid from dirt, sunburn, frostbite (凍傷 ), or scratches (劃傷 ) that you try to avoid the outdoors. Or you may just find muddy clothes and sandy toes that require too much time to wash. Perhaps you hate to get dirty yourself. The natural world may just make you nervous and you might worry about those bugs (蟲子 ) and bats that will suck you dry. It may be that you just never got the chance to be outdoors when you were a kid and now know nothing about what to do with your kid.
