4 - Read the following text and answer the following questions:
Babies normally start to talk when they are 13 to 15 months old. Ryan Jones is only
eight months old, but he is already "talking" with his parents. When he is hungry, he
opens and closes his hand. This means milk. He also knows the signs for his favorite
toy.
Ryan is not deaf, and his parents are not deaf, but his mother and father are teaching
him to sign. They say a word and make a sign at the same time. They repeat this again
and again. When Ryan learns a new sign, his family is very excited. Ryan's parents
think that he will be a happier baby because he can communicate with them.
Ryan's parents are teaching Ryan to sign because of a man named Joseph Garcia.
Although Garcia was not from a deaf family, he decided to learn American Sign
Language (ASL). First,he took courses in ASL. Then he got a job helping deaf people
communicate with hearing people. In his work, he saw many deaf parents sign to their
infants. He noticed that these babies were able to communicate much earlier than
hearing children. They talked with signs by the time they were eight months old.
When they were one year old, they could use as many as 50 signs.
Garcia decided to try something new. He taught ASL to parents who were not deaf.
The families started to teach signs to their infants when they were six or seven
months old. These babies started using signs about two months later.
More and more parents took Garcia's ASL classes. Like Ryan's family, they were
excited about signing with their babies. They wanted to give their babies a way to
communicate before they could use spoken words.
Some people worry about signing to babies. They are afraid that these babies won't
feel a need to talk. Maybe they will develop spoken language later than other babies.
However,research does not show this. In fact, one study found just the opposite.
Signing babies actually learned to speak earlier than other children. As they grow
older, these children are more interested in books. They also score higher on
intelligence tests.
There is still a big question for parents: Which are the best signs to teach their
babies? Some parents make their own signs. Other parents want to teach ASL. It
can be useful because many people understand it. There's no clear answer, but we
do know this: All signing babies and their families are talking quite a lot!
A) Answer the following questions:
1) Why are Ryan's parents teaching him to sign?
Ryan's parents think that he will be a happier baby because he can communicate with them.
2) What is the most important reason that hearing parents teach their babies to sign?
They want to give their babies a way to communicate before they could use spoken words
3) Do you think there will be more "signing babies" in the future? Why or why not?
Any proper answer.
Sara: Thanks.

Have you ever felt a sudden feeling of joy because you heard a favorite song
playing?Then you know that music can have a strong effect on your emotions. Try to
take an advantage of this power of music. It can help get you out of a bad mood or
stay in a good mood, says Alicia Ann Clair, professor of music therapy at the
University of Kansas. Music can also help you relax and feel rejuvenated.
To cheer up or boost your energy, listen to Latin music or anything with a ,
strong beatlots of percussion, and a fast tempo. When you want to relax after a busy
day, music with string instruments and woodwinds, less percussion, and a slower
tempo can calm you.
Listen to calming music before you start any stressful activities, advises Dr.
Clair. "Once you're in a good state of mind, it's easier to maintain it." You can lower
stress at work with music, too, by playing relaxing tunes. But only play them when
you really need them. "If you listen to them all day long, you’ll stop noticing them."
Dr. Clair explains. Thenthe music won’t have any effect.
You can change your mood by switching from one kind of music to another. To
feelrejuvenated, "Start with something serene and relaxing, and then gradually
increase the tempo and beat," says Dr. Clair. For example, first play some nice gentle
ballads, and thenlisten to something more energetic. When you want to calm down
after a busy week at work, just do the opposite.

Every paragraph in the reading has one main idea. Write the correct paragraph
