 Sign Language 
Because deaf people cannot hear, they have special way of communicating. For example, they can learn to 
understand what someone is saying by looking at the mouth of the speaker. This is called lipreading. Also, 
speaking is very difficult for the deaf, because they cannot hear their own voices. However, it is possible with 
special training. According to many deaf people all around the world, the most practical and popular way of 
communicating is with sign language. 
In many ways, sign language is similar to spoken language. The words of sign language are made of signs, which 
are formed with movements of the hands, face, and body. As with words, each sign has a different meaning and 
can be combined to form sentences. Sign languages also have their own grammar. The alphabet of sign language 
is special hand signs that stand for letters; they make spelling possible. The signs combine to form a rich 
language that can express the same thoughts, feelings, and ideas as any spoken language. And just as people from 
different countries speak different languages, most countries have their own variety of sign language. 
In addition to knowing sign language, it is also helpful to know something about how deaf people communicate. 
Since they rely so much on actions, deaf people are generally not very formal when they “talk”, and may touch 
your arm or shoulder a lot to make sure you know what they’re saying. It is not seen as rude among deaf people 
to lightly touch someone you do not know to get their attention. It’s also okay to wave your hands or hit the table 
or floor. Also, lots of eye contact is necessary. 
There are many ways to learn a few signs. Community colleges often teach introductory classes. For self-
learners, bookstores and libraries have books for learning sign language. There are also instructional videos on 
the Internet, with actors demonstrating signs and performing interesting stories and conversations for you to see. 
With practice, you’ll soon get the hang of this useful method of communicating (340 words)

 Song of the Humpback 
 Herman Melville, the writer of the famous whale story Moby Dick, once wrote that humback whales were 
“ the most lighthearted of all the whales.” A favourite of whale watchers everywhere, they swim in ocean areas 
close to land, and are active at the surface. They can often be seen breaching, or leaping out of the water, and then 
coming down with a great splash. Humpbacks are known to be intelligent animals and can be seen working 
together to hunt schools of small fish. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing. 
Marine biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for more than 25 years. While recording 
whale songs on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. 
In the water, Chadwick heard the whale’s songs in a way he never heard them before. “ Suddenly, I no longer 
heard the whale’s voice in my ears,” he said. “ I felt it inside my head and bones.” 
When swimming with the whale, Chadwick could see that the whale was aware of him, but not alarmed by his 
presence. The 13-meter-long giant looked him over curiously, but never harmed him. The whale then swam 
under the boat. It pointed its head down to the ocean floor and, with flippers extended out to its sides, began to 
sing. Up in the boat, Darling recorded the whale’s song. Humpback whale songs can be long and complex, 
sometimes lasting for 30 minutes or more. They are perhaps the longest song sung by any animal. 
Darling says that only male humpback sing, but for unknown reasons. It was previously thought that they sang to 
attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean 
and the female whales did not respond. Another idea is that male humpbacks compete with each other using 
songs, just as other male animals on land do using their antlers or tusks. 
Researchers have also found that humpback whale songs are different in different parts of the world, perhaps like 
whale national anthems. They may also be like hit tunes on the radio, changing over time - from one year to the 
next, or even over a single breeding season. 
There is still so much the scientists don’t know, and years of study lie ahead for whale researchers like Jim 
Darling. “ Why do I do it?” he wonders aloud. “ Human beings like puzzles. I want to know. Period.” 
Another member of the research team, photographer Flip Nicklin, recalls a special moment he had while 
interacting with a humpback. While he was snorkeling some distance from the huge animal, it approached him 
until it was just a few metres away. It then gently carried Nicklin toward its eye with a flipper, as if examining 
him. Apparently, the urge to understand a different species goes both ways. ( 481 words)

 A.how to record humpbacks in the ocean B. how humpbacks communicate with people
