问题     Sign has become a scientific hot【C1】______.【C2】______in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to【C3】______how the brain【C4】______and understands language, and【C5】______new light on an old scientific【C6】______:【C7】______language,【C8】______with grammar, is something that we are born with, or it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has【C9】______in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world’s only【C10】______arts university for deaf people.
    When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school【C11】______him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students【C12】______differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gesture code, each movement of the hands【C13】______a word in English.【C14】______Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a【C15】______language? And could that language be【C16】______any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people【C17】______their signing as "substandard". Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy. It is 37 years later. Stokoe— now【C18】______his time to writing and editing books on ASL—is explaining【C19】______he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea【C20】______signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese.
