Sharing Silence
Deaf teenagers Orlando Chavez and German Resendiz have been friends since kindergarten(幼儿园). Together the two boys,who go to Escondido High School in California,have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak and hear.
Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one.German was born deaf,and his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language.He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten.
“We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids,”German remembers.“Before then,I didn’t know I was deaf and that I was different.”
“Being young and deaf in regular classes was very hard,”signs Orlando.“The other kids didn't understand us and we didn't understand them.But we”ve all grown up together,and today,I'm popular be cause I'm deaf.Kids try hard to communicate with me.”
Some things are very difficult for the two boys.“We can't talk on the phone,so if we need help,we can't call an emergency service,”German signs.“And we can't order food in a drive-thru.”
Despite their difficulties,the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket. They got their jobs through a“workability”program,designed for teenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities.
German has worked in the supermarket since August,and Orlando started in November.
“The other people who work here have been very nice to us,”Orlando signs.“They even sign some times.At first,we were nervous,but we've learned a lot and we’re getting better.”
The opportunity to earn money has been exciting,both boys said.After high school,they hope to attend the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in New York.

Passage Two
I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "before the war" and "when the war's over". "Before the war", apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice -cream and bananas, which I had only heard of . When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant little to me. I did not remember what London was like.
What I remember now about VE (Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆) , so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the un- mistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going.
I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that. At last he said, "Well, that's it, son. Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one."
40. Where did the author live before the Second World War?
A. In London.
B. In a small town.
C. In Europe.
D. In the countryside.
