At the start of the space programme there was strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978, NASA began the first training programme for women astronauts.Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space. During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research. She was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space. They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good communicator and she immediately established a very good relationship with the news media(radio, television and newspapers）. It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe's place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect on people.1. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ___________.A. Judy was against the idea of having women in space at firstB. Judy was the first woman selected for astronaut trainingC. Judy helped to launch three new satellites at the age of 35D. Judy carried out a programme during her second space travel2. Christa McAuliffe was chosen for training because _______.A. she was popular with the news mediaB. she expected to give history lessons in spaceC. she was an excellent teacher and communicatorD. she made the students in space very excited3. The reason why there was great interest in Flight STS-51-L is that ________.A. both Christa and Judy got PhD degrees in the same yearB. a young secondary school teacher was on the flightC. students were going to learn more about space travelD. it was the first time for women to travel in space4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Two AstronautsB. Flight STS-51-LC. Travelling in SpaceD. The Training Programme高中一年级完型阅读练习(1)解析1almost“几乎”，这里表示在美国结婚和离婚都很普通。

高三完型+语法填空专项练习 3(含答案)
语言知识及应用综合训练23第一节：完形填空Learning how to be patient with people can be challenging for some people. After all, not everybody is gifted with great 11111. The good news is that it is something that can be 11211 and eventually perfected.When the customer before you takes ages to 11311 his or her groceries, you tap your foot impatiently and cough every now and then to remind the 11411 to move quickly; but no, he is still not 11511. It takes all of your power not to make a scene. However, if you 11611 that customer to be someone you like, then you will find yourself not getting too 11711, right?So the next time you find yourself losing patience with somebody, simply think of that person to be someone you really 11811 and your patience will last longer.The second step on how to be patient with people involves whistling. When you whistle a 11911 tune, you are instantly in good 111011. You can hum(哼) your favorite song if you can’t whistle—it really doesn’t make a(n) 111111. What’s important here is that you did something that makes you feel good. And when you feel good, you are more 111211 to be patient with the people around you.When you’re stressed, it’s almost impossible to learn how to be patient with people. You’ve got to find a way to 111311 first. If you know you’re going to be in a situation where your patience will be tested, get yourself a massage(按摩) first. Remember: the more stressed you are, the 111411 you’ll lose your temper.Learning how to be patient with people is not a 111511 in life. You’ve seen people who manage to survive day to day with unbelievably short tempers after all.1. A. patience B. generosity C. elegance D. strength2. A. ignored B. stressed C. rejected D. learned3. A. pay for B. apply for C. ask for D. care for4. A. assistant B. friend C. customer D. patient5. A. standing up B. hurrying up C. getting up D. giving up6. A. imagine B. allow C. believe D. refer7. A. puzzled B. shocked C. amused D. annoyed8. A. adore B. hate C. recognize D. know9. A. swift B. happy C. loud D. sad10. A. circumstances B. preparations C. spirits D. places11. A. mistake B. difference C. effort D. scene12. A. friendly B. lovely C. likely D. lonely13. A. relax B. escape C. reward D. whistle14. A. later B. slower C. better D. faster15. A. must B. possibility C. ability D. choice第二节：语法填空Once upon a time, in a small country, people decided to investigate what it was that parents really liked the most. A competition was organized. It would use the 111611 (late) invention of Professor Shafte: the Gladometer (快乐测量仪).To date, the Gladometer is the only invention ever 111711 (build) capable of measuring joy and happiness.So, one by one, the children presented 111811 own particular talents to their parents. And the Gladometer faithfully measured their parents’ reactions.One boy turned up 111911 a trained pig; the pig sang and danced. A girl came and played the violin like an angel. 112011intelligent boy came and read his very big book. The parents’ happiness was easy to see.Finally, a boy came to the Gladometer carrying 112111. Nor did he know how to do anything. When the organizers asked him what he was going to do, he 112211(simple) said, “I am very obedient(顺从的).” The machine measured such a high reading 112311 it began violently shaking, and finally 112411(explode). The boy who had done nothing won all the prizes that day, for solving the mystery of 112511 pleases parents the most.第三节：阅读理解From bankers to factory staff, employees in the West face a cold prospect of losing their jobs as a global recession(衰退) starts to bite. For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group.“In the Confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the sense of collective(集体的) responsibility. While in the West, it’s more about individual survival,” said Michael Benoliel, associate professor of or ganizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU).In contrast, local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe.Japan’s jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong’s was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad.36. The underlined word “prospect” in the first paragraph most probably means _________.A．weather B．scene C．future D．place37. Compared with job cuts, pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT that _________.A．it’s helpful to the econ omy recoveryB．it costs the company less money to surviveC．it will keep the experienced and skilled workersD．it can form a team working harder and more loyally38. According to Michael Benoliel, the Confucian mindset focuses on _________.A．human rights B．sharing responsibilityC．personal profits D．individual survival39. In which company can we infer the job cuts will be probably the most severe?A．A local American group.B．A small Japanese company.C．A German branch of a Korean multinational.D．A Hong Kong’s unit of a French company.40. The passage mainly tells us ________.A．the difficulties all the companies around the world will meet with todayB．the cultural differences between Eastern and Western world at presentC．the ways to cut down the cost of the companies in economic downturnD．the different labor solutions of Asian and Western in global recession语言知识及应用综合训练23答案：1－5 ADACB 6－10 ADABC 11－15 BCADA16. latest 17. built 18. their 19. with 20 An 21. nothing 22. simply 23. that 24. exploded 25. what 36-40 CBBAD。

Remember last summer when I told you that I was planning to enter 参加the TeenSay Magazine essay contest(某杂志文章比赛)? Well, I entered, and my essay, “Improving Community Safety” won! The prize was a weekend trip to New York City, with a visit to the TeenSay offices to see how they publish the magazine each month. Three of us were chosen to go from Texas: two other contest winners, and myself.My mom took me to the airport for the flight to New York, and I have to say I was nervous! I’veflown before, but never without my parents. But when we got to the airport and met the other people in our group, I relaxed. The group leader, Ms. Alvarez, was really friendly and easy to talk to. She is in charge of掌管着marketing and special promotions at TeenSay Magazine. While we waited for our flight, she described the activities we’d be taking part in that weekend. She also introduced me to the other contest winners. Irene is from Arlington, and she’s thirteen years old like me. She won a prize for the series of photographs she took when her family drove across the countryside last summer. The other winner is a 15-year-old boy named Eddie. Eddie won the TeenSay community spirit award for cleaning up and improving the neighborhood parks in his town. Irene and Eddie both seemed like a lot of fun. Before our plane even took off, we were laughing and telling jokes like we had known each other for a long time.SincerelyMark51.

大学英语四级试练习卷一、阅读理解阅读理解（一）Courses with the numbers800or above are open only to graduate students.Certain courses,generally those devoted to introductory material,are numbered400for undergraduate students and600for graduate students.Courses designed for students seeking a professional degree carry a500number for undergraduate students and a700munber for graduate students.A full-time graduate student is expected to take courses which total ten to sixteen credit hours.Students holding assistantships are expected to enroll for proportionately fewer hours.A part-time graduate student must register for a minimun of five credit hours.1.In order to be eligible to enroll in Mechanical Engineering850,a student must be______.A.a graduate studentB.a part-time studentC.a full-time studentD.an undergraduate student2.If an undergraduate student uses the number520to register for an accounting course,what number would a graduate student probably use to register for the same course?A.accounting520B.accounting620C.accounting720D.accounting8203.A student who register for eight credit hours is a______.A.full-time studentB.graduate studentC.part-time studentD.non-degree student4.A graduate student may not_____A.enroll in a course numbered610B.register for only one three-hour courseC.register for courses if he has an assistantshipD.enroll in an introductory course阅读理解（二）The accuracy of cientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientist's timekeeping methods.For this reason,scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise timekeeping. In their search for precision,scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their "ticking".This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration.The nitrogen atom in ammonia, for example,vibrates or"ticks"24billion times a seconD.One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probaly lose no more than a second in3000years.It will be of great improtance in fields such as astronomical is a sesium atom that vibrates9.2billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water.An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecue may be used to check the accuracy ofpredictions based on Einstein's relativity theories,according to which a clock in motion and a clock at rest should keep time differently.Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of18000miles an hour,the clock could broadcast its time readings to a ground station,where they would be compared with the readings on a similar model.Whatever differences develop would be checked against the differences predicteD.1.Scientists expect that the atomic clocks will be______.A.more preciseB.absolutely accurateC.more durableD.indestructible2.The heart of the atomichron is_______.A.acesium atomB.an ammonia moleculeC.a nitrogen atomD.a hydrogen3.From theselection,we may assume that temperature changes_______.A.affect only ammonia moleculesB.may affect the vibration rate of atomsC.affect the speed at which atoms travelD.do not affect atoms in any way4.Identical atomic clocks may be used to check______.A.the effect of outer space on an atomic clockB.the actual speed of an orbiting sateliteC.the accuacy of predictions based on theories of relativityD.all of Einstein's theories5.Implied but not stated:_______.A.Precise timekeeping is essential in scienceB.Scientists expect to disprove Einstein's relativity theoriesC.Atomic clocks will be important in space flightD.The rate of vibration of an atom never varies二、完型填空完型填空（一）Exercise is good for you,but most people really know very little about how to exercise properly.1when you try,you can runsintostrouble.Many people2that

The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845~1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is nativeto Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.

They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizo n---- it is already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to recorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel（职员）and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities（功用）to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.1. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _____.A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes。

This is true of some of the things we say every day. For example, "How do you do?" "How are you?" This is what people say on meeting . Sometimes they stop and shake hands. "How are you?" looks like a question. It is written with a question mark( 问号) after it. And sometimes "How are you ?" is a question. One person may want to know if another is well or ill ----how his health is ----and so on.When these ar questions they are almost always said as if(好象）the person who says them wants an answer.But most of the time they are said in a way which does not ask for any answer. When these words are said so, we do not answer "I am tired," or "I have a bad cold," or "I am not well." We say the same thing back to the other person. "How are you?"or "Hello". Such words are like a smile or a wave of the hand.In the same way, when we meet someone in the morning we may say "Good morning!" The weather may be very bad but we say "Good morning!" and the other person will say "Good morning" back to us. We are not talking about the weather or about how good or bad the morning is.Again, when people are parting(分手), they may say "Good morning!" or "Good afternoon!" or "Good evening!" or "Good night!" to one another instead of "Good-bye!" They are not talking about the weather but saying " May all be well with you at this time!"You will find few people today who know that "Good -bye!" is a short way of saying "God be with you!"(上帝保佑你). But in times past, when religion (宗教)had more place than it now has in education, a child could be taught this very young as part of his knowledge of English. ( )1. When most of the time someone says "How are you!", we should answer "________".A. I am tired.B. I have a bad cold.C. I'm fine.D. I am not well.( )2. "Good morning!" is used in __________.A. talking about the weatherB. how good or bad the weather isC. the morningD. greeting when people meet in the morning( )3. We say "Good night!" when __________.A. we leave at nightB. we talk about the nightC. the weather is fine at nightD. people meet at night( )4. In the past, people often said "____________".A. Good -byeB. Good afternoonC. Good nightD. God be with you( )5. In the past, when a child was very young, he was taught_________.A. things about religionB. a short way of sayingC. things about weatherD. knowledge of EnglishJWe say that a person has good manners if he or she is polite kind and helpful to others. Everyone likes a person with good manners. But no one likes a person with bad or careless manners. "Yes" you say, " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"Here are some examples of these things. They tell you what a person with good manners does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel(残酷), either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front ! On the bus, he gives his seatto an old person or a lady. If he, by accident, knocks someone, or gets in their way, he says, "Excuse me" or "I'm sorry".He says "Please" when he asks somebody to help. He says "Thank you " when he receives something. He stands up when he speaks to a lady or an older person. And he does not sit down until the other person does. He does no talk or laugh loudly in public.However, difficult countries have different manners. When you enter a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In Japan , the guest and host bow to each other. But in some other countries they only nod or shake hands. A guest in a Chinese house seldom(很少）finishes a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he has enjoyed it.But no matter how different the manners are, people all over the world agree that good manners really mean to be kind and helpful to others, especially those older or weaker than themselves. If you remember this, you will not go for far wrong.( )1. When we talk to elderly people , we should stand until _________.A. they sit downB. they leaveC. they give us our seatD. they stop talking( )2. We should not be cruel to people,____________.A. but animals are differentB. and we should not be cruel to animals, eitherC. but we should be cruel to animalD. but help animals( )3. People _________those who are older and weaker than themselves.A. should not be especially kind toB. should be kind and helpful toC. should have good manners when they are withD. should be especially kind and helpful to( )4. _________, a person does not talk or laugh loudly.A. When in the classroomB. When at a partyC. When in the presence of strangersD. When among friends( )5. In Japan , it is _________to take off your shoes when entering a house.A. bad mannersB. good mannersC. very impoliteD. of no useKMost people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today's world to find work for everybody. the economies(经济）of the world need to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not possible, and so more people are without work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in a shorter time. Also, machines don't ask for more money and longer holidays. In all of the countries of the world machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on farms. One machine can often do the work of forty people. About 75000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70% of them can find jobs.( )1. It was _________for people to find work before than today.A. more difficultB. easierC. not possibleD. difficult( )2.

No one will invite you if he does not really want you to enter his " castle, " so you can be sure that you are wanted. Additionally, as you do not come from the same country or culture as your host, he or she or they will surely be aware of this, and will be very forgiving if you unintentionally do or say something which would otherwise offend them. Keeping these two simple tips in mind should greatly ease your concern about being present at a dinner in someone else's home.Before arriving at your host's home, you may want to make sure of three things. First, be a few minutes late, say, about five to ten minutes if possible. Never be early, as the host may not have everything prepared yet. Nor should you be more than 20 minutes late. Your host may begin to worry about whether you are able to attend the dinner or not. Next, as to whether to bring a gift, in most informal gatherings, it is not necessary. If you like, you can bring some fruit or sweets, or, especially if there is a hostess, some flowers. These are thoughtful, cheerful gifts sure to please. Do not bring alcoholic beverages unless you are sure of your host's or hostess's preferences in drinks. Above all, do not spend a lot of money, and never give money. As we say in English, " It's the thought that counts." Finally, wear comfortable clothing. One can overdress as well as appear sloppy.For more formal affairs, you will probably be told what to wear, such as " formal dress requested, " etc. If you are unsure what to wear, you can always ask the host. Gifts are seldom appropriate for these affairs, unless for a wedding reception, at which gifts are more customary than cash. Your host in his home will usually motion you where to sit. At formal gatherings, name cards are sometimes provided, or you will be told where to sit. Formal affairs often have several courses of food with the appropriate cutlery for each dish. There is no harm in checking with your neighbor to see what implement he is using. Again, do not hesitate to ask others for information or advice. They are usually pleased to help you. The most important piece of advice is this: enjoy yourself. No host enjoys seeing nervous or fearful guests who are struggling to " do the right thing" at his home or expensive formal dinner party. Watch others or ask for their advice, and join in the conversation and good times as best you can. If you do, after the first such evening out, you will certainly look forward to the next!1. If you want to feel relaxed at a dinner else’s home, you should ___________.A. make sure that you are wantedB. learn as much as possible about the host’s country and cultureC. avoid saying anything which would offend the hostD. remember you are a foreign guest and the host will welcome and understand you2. You should do the following thing except ________ before arriving at your host’s home.A. be about five to ten minutes late if possible.B. always bring a gift like some fruit or some flowersC. never bring alcoholic beverages unless your host or hostess is interested in drinks.D. wear comfortable clothing3. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. A small gift means a lot.B. A promise is worth a thousand ounces of gold.C. Keep your thoughts to yourself.D. Love is the lamp while friendship is the shadow4. For a guest, the right thing includes __________.a. what to wearb. whether to send a cash giftc. where to sitd. how to pick the appropriate cutleryA. a,b,cB. b, c,dC. a. b. dD. a, c,d5. The host enjoys seeing the guests ________.A. feel nervous or fearfulB. enjoy themselvesC. get prepared in advanceD. look forward to the next party（二）For a long period before the 1960s, women were considered to be the weaker sex, just as Shakespeare said in Hamlet: "Frailty, thy name is women." In contrast, men were regarded the stronger and the dominant sex. In this light man should undertake the duty to adopt a protective attitude toward the so-called weaker sex. This implied that men should help women on and off with their coats, light their cigarettes, open the doors for them to get on and off the wagon, train, bus, etc. Or to enter the houses. Have you ever seen the movie "Titanic"? Well, when the ship was sinking, it was the women who had the right to get on the lifeboats first, just because men had the responsibility for taking care of and protecting women! This could lead to the conclusion that the custom "Lady First" was developed out of respect in appearance, but in fact it was kind of looking down upon women in nature. In the 1960s, women began to challenge this tradition.Just as one lady put it, "Historically, men should walk on the outside of the pavement so as to prevent the lady's dress from being spoilt by mud splashed by a carriage. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside side. A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman. If out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk onthe inside, because that's where muggers are hiding these days." This shows that to treat a woman as inferior just because she is a female is not only insulting but also out of step with contemporary American culture. Women may go to the restaurants Dutch treat. They may refuse such words as chairman, businessmen, policeman Instead they prefer chairperson, businessperson, police or cop just to show that they are equal in every respect with males!6. What does the underlined word “frailty” mean?A. 脆弱B. 温柔C. 虚弱D. 薄弱7. Men in the 1960s shouldn’t __________.A. help women on and off with their coatsB. help women light their cigarettesC. open the doors for women to get on and off the wagon, train, bus or enter the housesD. ask women to help them with anything8. Which of the following is true about the custom “Lady First” ?A. Women is weaker than men so men should take the duty to protect women.B. The custom was developed out of differences in appearanceC. Before the 1960s, men looked down upon women.D. Women didn’t like this custom and wanted to stop it after the 1960s.9. According to what the lady said in the second paragraph, a man walks on the outside of the pavement because ________.A. he really wants to prevent the lady's dress from being spoilt by mudB. he loves and respects the ladyC. he is afraid of the muggers insideD. he must follow the custom to protect the inferior woman10. If women and men are equal in every respect, they can ___________.A. have the equal right to get on the lifeboatsB. walk where they want toC. choose not to go to the restaurants Dutch treatD. prefer words like chairman, businessmen, policeman instead of chairperson, businessperson, police or cop任务型阅读Having dinner in a fancy Western restaurant can make people nervous. They want to use good table manners. Which things on the table do you use first? When you first sit down at a table, take the napkin and put it on your lap. Keep it on your lap during the meal. Then look at the plate in front of you. Forks are to the left of your plate. Spoons and knives are on the right. A soup spoon is the large one, farthest from the plate. Or it may be at the top of the plate. At a Western meal, soup is served first and then the salad. The salad fork is the fork farthest from the plate. Eat your salad with that fork. The small plate above your forks is your bread plate. Put aroll on your small plate. Cut it open and put butter on it with your knife. Then eat it with your fingers. When you are finished eating, put your knife and fork next to each other on your dinner plate. Then the waiter knows you are finished. He will take away your plate. Your last course will be dessert. There may be a very small dessert fork next to your plate. Or the waiter may bring it with dessert. When you have finished your meal, get up from the table. Place your napkin next to your plate.1. _______2. _______3. ______4. _______5. _______完形填空答案（一）1-5 ADBAD 6-10 CCDBB（二）1-5 CBAAA 6-10 BCCDD阅读理解答案（一）1-5 DBADB（二）6-10 ADCDB任务型阅读答案1. use2. beside3. tiny4. above5. another。

It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Human beings use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language.
