People with hearing impairments don't want to be treated as though they are somehow less valuable in the #munity.Is it normal to be a little nervous #municating with a deaf person for the first time? Sure.What's important though is realizing that while these people can't hear，they definitely can #municate effectively with you if you give them a chance.
Any form of #munication between people is a two way street.It is very important then to determine how a deaf person prefers to #municate.There are a number of options available to them such as sign language，lip reading or using text.There will be a way of making a connection.It may sometimes be difficult or awkward but the effort is well worth it.
If you need to #municate regularly with a deaf person there is no doubt that significant effort is required on your part to make the connection.It is almost like needing to learn a second language. Unfortunately for the majority of people it is not something that they encounter on a regular basis，so novices to sign language and lip reading can make unintentional errors.
Mostly these errors are the result of speed.For lip reading it may be a case of talking too fast so that the deaf person doesn't have the capacity to catch all of the conversation.Alternatively it is not unusual for people to talk tOO slowly，as though the deaf person has a #prehension disorder rather than hearing.
In terms of sign language it can be just as frustrating for the deaf person who is fluent in signing to try to decipher an untrained person's attempts at sign language.④Novices who learn the signs but only use them occasionally never really learn how t0“speak”in sign language the way someone closely tied to deaf people can.
The dilemma can be #pared to visiting a foreign country in which the inhabitants speak a different language.You may have spent years studying that language but when you find yourself thrust into a different culture you realize that you have learned the rules and vocabulary of the language but you have not learned how to speak it.
Dealing with deaf people does not necessarily have to significantly alter the way that you get your message across.Even with hearing people verbal #munication only makes up a small #ponent of the way a message is delivered.⑥You may need to think a little more about the best way of making a connection but it can be done.These are ordinary people you are dealing with and they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect，the same as anyone else.

①EWhat'S important]though is realizing Ethat while these people can't hear，they definitely can #municate ef— fectively with you（if you give them a chance）].
【结构】方括号所标示的“What'S important”是主语从句。动名词短语“realizin9…”用做表语。方括号所标示的“that while these people…chance”是动名词“realizin9”的宾语从句；圆括号所标示的“if you give them a chance”是条件状语从句。
【释义】不过，重要的是要意识到，虽然这些人听不见，但是如果你给他们机会，他们肯定能和你进行实际交流。
②Unfortunately for the majority of people it is not something[that they encounter on a regular basis]，SC novices tO sign language and lip reading can make unintentional errors.
【结构】本句是由逗号和“S0”连接的两个分句组成的并列句。第一个分句中的主语“it”指该段第一句中的“signif— icant effort is required on your part tO make the connection”。方括号所标示的“that they encounter on a regular ba— sis”是“somethin9”的后置定语从句。
【释义】令人遗憾的是，对于大多数人来说，这不是他们通常碰到的情况。所以，不熟悉手语和唇语的人可能会无意识地犯一些错误。
【结构】“it”是形式主语，指方括号所标示的带逻辑主语的动词不定式短语“for people tO talk too slowly…”。圆括号所标示的“as though the deaf person…hearin9”是让步状语从句。
【释义】反之，人们讲得太慢，好像耳聋的人不是听力有障碍而是理解力有障碍一样，这也很常见。
④In terms of sign language it can be just as frustrating Efor the deaf person（who is fluent in signing）to try to de— cipher an untrained person'S attempts at sign language].
【结构】“it”是形式主语，指方括号所标示的带逻辑主语的动词不定式短语“for the deaf person…to try to deci— pher…sign language”。圆括号所标示的“who is fluent in signing”是“deaf person”的后置定语从旬。
【释义】就手语而言，让一个手语流利的聋哑人去理解一个没有受过手语训练的人的手语表达，可能同样令人为难。
⑤Novices Ewho learn the signs but only use them occasionally]never really learn how t0“speak”in sign language the way[someone（closely tied to deaf people）can].
【结构】方括号所标示的“who learn…occasionally”是“Novices”的后置定语从句。方括号所标示的“someone…can”是“way”的后置定语从句。圆括号所标示的过去分词短语“closely tied tO deaf people”是“someone”的后置定语。
【释义】有些人学了一点手语，但只是偶尔使用。他们根本无法像那些与聋哑人密切接触的人一样，真正学会用手语来“讲话”。
⑥Even with hearing people verbal #munication only makes up a small #ponent of the way a message is delivered].
【结构】现在分词“hearin9”是“people”的定语。“hearing people”指“听觉正常的人”。主句的主语是“verbal #munication”，谓语动词是“makes up”。方括号所标示的“a message is delivered”是“way”的后置定语从句。
【释义】 即使听觉正常的人，口头交流也只是传递信息方式的一小部分而已。
答案注释

2.根据第二段最后两句“There will be a way of making a connection.It may sometimes be difficult or awkward …”，以及第二段和第三段的上下文可知，要正常人选择一种恰当的方式同耳聋的人进行交流并非易事，所以， 选项D应为答案。
3.根据第三段最后一句“…novices to sign language and lip reading can make unintentional errors”，以及第四段第 一句“Mostly these errors are the result of speed”可知，选项C应为答案。

5.全文最后一句总结了作者在本文所要阐述的观点“These are ordinary people you are dealing with and they de— serve to be treated with dignity and respect，…”。所以，选项B应为答 [NextPage] 全文翻译
有听觉障碍的人不想被当成社会上不太有用的人。第一次跟一个耳聋的人交流有点紧张，这正常吗？当然正常。不过，重要的是要意识到，虽然这些人昕不见，但是如果你给他们机会，他们肯定能和你进行实际交流。
人们之间交流的任何方式都是双向的。那么，确定耳聋的人偏爱何种交流方式是很重要的。有许多交流方式可供他们选择，例如通过手语、唇语或文字。肯定有某种方式，可以跟耳聋的人建立联系，有时可能困难或者令人尴尬，但的确很值得去做。
如果你要经常跟耳聋的人交流，毫无疑问，在建立联系上你要多做出努力。这很像必须学习一门第二语言。令人遗憾的是，对于大多数人来说，这不是他们通常碰到的情况。所以，不熟悉手语和唇语的人可能会无意识地犯一些错误。
通常这些错误是由于速度太快。唇语犯错主要由于语速过快，耳聋的人跟不上谈话。反之，人们讲得太慢，好像耳聋的人不是听力有障碍而是理解力有障碍一样，这也很常见。
就手语而言，让一个手语流利的聋哑人去理解一个没有受过手语训练的人的手语表达，可能同样令人为难。有些人学了一点手语，但只是偶尔使用。他们根本无法像那些与聋哑人密切接触的人一样，真正学会用手语来“讲话”。
这两难的境地可以比作去外国，那里的居民说不同的语言。你可能已经学过那种语言，但是当发现自己置身另一种不同的文化时，你会意识到只是学到了语言的规则和词汇，没学会怎样说它。
跟耳聋的人打交道不一定要刻意改变你传达信息的方式。即使听觉正常的人，口头交流也只是传递信息方式的一小部分而已。与耳聋的人建立联系的最佳方式，你也许要多想一些，但是联系一定能建立。他们只是你要交往的普通人，值得你给他们尊严和尊敬，就像对待其他正常人一样。
