Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 35. 
Most of us know a little about how babies learn to talk. From the time infants are born, they hear 
language because their parents talk to them all the time. Between the ages of seven and ten months, most 
infants begin to make sounds. They repeat the same sounds over and over again. This is called babbling. 
When babies babble, they are practicing their language. 
What happens, though, to children who cannot hear? How do deaf children learn to communicate? 
Recently, doctors have learned that deaf babies babble with their hands. Laura Ann Petitto, a psychologist, 
observed three hearing infants with English-speaking parents and two deaf infants with deaf parents using 
American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate. Dr. Petitto studied the babies three times: at 10, 12, and 14 
months. During this time, children really begin to develop their language skills. 
After watching and videotaping the children for several hundred hours, the psychologist and her assistants 
made many importan...ge: It does not matter if we are physically able to speak or not. Language can be expressed in 
different ways - for instance, by speech or by sign. Dr. Petitto believes this theory and wants to prove it. She 
plans to study hearing children who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent. She wants to see what 
happens when babies have the opportunity to learn both sign language and speech. Does the human brain 
prefer speech? Some of these studies of hearing babies who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent show 
that the babies babble equally with their hands and their voices. They also produce their first words, both 
spoken and signed, at about the same time. More studies in the future may prove that the sign system of the 
deaf is the physical equivalent of speech.
