3rd 1st 2nd Questions
Reading comprehension. Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of many different forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier(障碍), communication is completed through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and the local people unable to make themselves understood by each other through speaking or writing have had to turn to this form of expressing. Many of these symbols of whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot compare with them. 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 stands for disagreement. Other forms of nonlinguistic (非语言的) language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code (莫尔斯电码) and smoking signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. All in all, while words are the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also play the role of expressing human thoughts and feelings.
