Deaf and Hearing Loss

People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who are born deaf. They
have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communication一perhaps at a time when learn-
ing is not all that easy.
A hearing aid is not a complete solution to the problem.The sound perceived by the deaf person
through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise than is heard by someone with
normal hearing. Deafened people have to lipread as well.
Lip reading is difficult,demands intense concentration,and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker's
face.No other activities can take place at the same time:the lip reader has to stop eating,stop everything in
order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or bad temper一as it sometimes appears to
be一but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorted.Remember what it's
like trying to communicate on a very bad telephone line.Frustrating,isn't it?The deaf have to face all the
time.
A useful way of looking at the problem is to see the deaf person as a foreigner一to treat them as if you
were in a foreign country.You would speak more clearly,slowly and raise your voice slightly.And you'd
use gestures to make your meaning clear, as well as have no hesitation in using pencil and paper to be abso-
lutely certain.You can do all those things with the deaf一as well as making sure you don't obscure your
mouth with your hand,a pipe or a cigarette.
Another point quite often overlooked is that a hearing aid may be quite efficient and useful in a quite
carpeted room一but try it in the high street in the rush hour,in a noisy car,in a railway station ticket office,
a cinema or a concert hail and you've got a really difficult problem to distinguish speech.So don't suggest
to or encourage deaf people to go to functions which are going to make their disability appear worse一and in-
crease their sense of failure.
On the other hand careful selection of cinemas with good sound systems is important and you should
experiment to find out where the best seats are for hearing,fitting adaptors for radio and television,observing
which friends are easier to understand,and making sure that people talking are well-lit and all useful and
positive activities.The purpose of this passage is to tell readers________.A:how to help the hard of hearingB:people who lose their hearing have to learn new ways of communicatingC:a deaf person has to lip-read even when using a hearing aidD:people who lose their hearing don't have to learn new ways of communicating
选项 The purpose of this passage is to tell readers________.
A:how to help the hard of hearing
B:people who lose their hearing have to learn new ways of communicating
C:a deaf person has to lip-read even when using a hearing aid
D:people who lose their hearing don't have to learn new ways of communicating
答案 A
解析 由文章第二段可知，助听器并不能完全解决问题，因为声音通过助听器常常变调，另外 噪音很大，所以听觉差者还必须通过唇读理解别人的话。故选B。
由文章第三段第三句话可知，听觉差的人为了唇读，不得不把手头的任何活动停止。 为了去注视说话人的嘴，而不得不停止任何活动，有时候看上去显得很愚蠢。故选A。
由文章第四段可知，我们要像对待外国人那样对待耳聋者，说话时要清楚缓慢，稍微提 高声音，并且利用手势把意思表达清楚等等。第五段第一句说：另一点常被人忽视的是助听器 在安静的环境下可能很有用，但在嘈杂的环境下可能是另外一回事。"another point”显然是承 接上段的内容，故选D。
文章第五段最后一句话说：不要建议或鼓励聋人去那些地方，使他们感觉到他们的缺 陷很严重——从而使他们有一种失败的感觉。故选D。
本文的目的是告诉读者A项：怎样去帮助耳聋者。文章的前半部分提到耳聋者为了明 白别人的说话所面临的困难，后半部分讲了我们在和耳聋者相处时应该怎么做。文章的重点 在于强调后者，故选A。
