问题 Extract 1
    There are eleven other children in Grania’s class. Eight of them know sign language. Grania soon learns that even though she is encouraged every day to use her voice she is barely understood. She resolves to keep her voice inside, not to let it out. But her teacher, Miss Amos, won’t settle for that. She taps Grania on the shoulder, watches her lips, brings Grania’s attention back to her own lips to see the shapes of the words and to practice them. She instructs Grania in the single-hand alphabet, which Grania, already knowing her printed letters, has no trouble learning. She also shows her how to use the signing space in front of her neck and upper chest.
    Outside of class, the other children signal to one another with animation. Grania sends signals out slowly from her body, but she is frustrated by the flap and flurry of hands that face her when signals try to come back in. At times she sees nothing more than a rapid blur. Instead, she focuses on lips, as she had done at home, to guess what it will mean. This works in slow motion with Miss Amos, whom Grania now tries to please, but away from the classroom the other children expect her to understand not lips but hands, and at their speed. If Grania does not understand, she is left out.
What do we learn about the other children in Grania’s class?
选项 A、They have limited patience with Grania’s difficulties.
B、They are jealous of Grania’s relationship with the teacher.
C、They mock Grania when her use of sign language is unclear.
D、They are reluctant to include Grania in any of their conversations.
答案A
