VIII/ Read the
passage below carefully, and then decide whether the statements are true (T),

Education of students
who are hard of hearing or deaf may involve the use of powerful amplification
devices, such as hearing aids, or it may use captions (printed words that
appear on a television screen or computer monitor). Many deaf or hard of
hearing students learn sign language, an organized system of gestures for communication.
Others learn to speechread (lipread), a method of interpreting speech by
“reading” the patterns of a person’s mouth as he or she speaks. Some deaf
students receive cochlear implants, which are receivers surgically implanted
behind the ear and connected to electrodes placed in the cochlea of the inner
ear, enabling individuals to hear sounds to a varying degree.
Gifted children are often
moved through the regular school curriculum at a faster pace than their peers.
Some children with exceptionally high ability in a particular subject area may
be allowed to reduce the time they spend in their other subjects to permit more
time to focus on challenging content in their specialty. A high school student
who is particularly gifted in math, for example, may attend advanced math
classes at a local college rather than music classes at the high school. Some
gifted students may also skip grades or they may enter kindergarten, high
school, or college at an early age.
1/ Hearing aid is a device worn inside or next to the
ear by people who cannot hear well in order to help them to hear better.
2/ Just few deaf or hard of hearing students learn
sign language.
3/ Several dumb students receive cochlear implants.
4/ The first paragraph is about deaf and hard of
hearing students.
5/ There are many deaf students in the United States
of America.
6/ Gifted children often find it easier to
move through the regular school curriculum at a faster pace than their friends.
7/ All the children have to spend equal time in their
study in these schools.
8/ A gifted
high school student may attend any classes at a local college that he or she
wants to.
9/ Education in foreign countries is very good.
10/ The second paragraph is about gifted students.
