They invite friends for a meal, a party or even a cup of tea. Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like an invitation, but actually are not. For example, “please come over for a drink sometime.” In fact, it is only just a polite way of ending a conversation. It is not a real invitation, because it does not contain a specific time or date. It just shows that the person speaking is friendly. So when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. When you accept or reject an invitation, it is polite to show pleasure at receiving the invitation. When you cannot accept the invitation, it is better to offer a vague excuse, such as an appointment with a certain friend, some other work to do, or a prior engagement. 6.

We do not even know for certain when language arose but it seems likely that it goes back to the earliest history of man, perhaps half a million years ago. We have no direct evidence but it seems probable that it took the earliest forms of human cooperation. In the Ice Ages of the Pleistocene Period, our earliest human ancestors established the Old Stone Age Culture; they made stone tools and, later, tools of bone, ivory, and antler; they made fire and cooked their food they hunted big game, often by methods that called for considerable cooperation and coordination. As their material culture gradually developed they became artists and drew pebbles as well as wonderful paintings of animals on the walls of caves. It is difficult to believe that the makers of these Paleolithic cultures lacked the power of speech. It is a long step admittedly from other earliest flint weapons to the splendid spear of the late Stone Age: the first crude flints date back perhaps to 500,000 B.C., while the finest achievements of Old Stone Age man are later than 100,000 B.C.; and in this period we can envisage a corresponding development of language from the most primitive and limited language of the earliest human groups to a fully developed language in the flowering time of Old Stone Age culture. How did language arise in the first place? There are many theories about this, based on various types of indirect evidence, such as the language of children, the language of primitive societies, the kinds of changes that have taken place in language in the course of recorded history, the behavior of higher animals like chimpanzees and the behavior of people suffering from speech defects. These types of evidence may provide us with pointers, but they all suffer from limitations.When we consider the language of children, we have to remember that their situations are quite different from those of our earliest human ancestors because the child, growing up in an environment where there is already a fully developed language, is surrounded by adults who use that language and are teaching it to him. For example, it has been shown that the earliest words used by children are mainly the names of things and people (“doll,” “spoon,” “Mummy,”), but this fact does not prove that the earliest words of primitive man were also the names of things and people. When the child learns the name of an object, he may then use it to express his wishes or demands.“Doll!” often means “Give me my doll!” or “Ive dropped my doll. Pick it up for me!” The child is using language to get things done, and it is almost an accident of adult teaching that the words used to formulate the childs demands are mainly nouns instead of words like “Bring!” “Pick Up!” and so on.11. Theories of the origin of language include all of the following EXCEPT .A. the first mans extensive vocabulary B. communication among primitive menC. the need to communicateD. the language of children12. The purpose of the discussion of the word “doll” is to A. show mans multiple use of single wordsB. support the fact that naming things is most importantC. compare childrens earliest words with those of primitive men D. indicate how adults teach language to children13. The description of the early words implies that .A. specific steps were taken to develop our languageB. we owe a debt of gratitude to the chimpanzeeC. care must be taken when examining what is the root of languageD. man developed a language to instruct his offspring14. A fully developed language came into existence most probably in .A. 500,000 B.C. B. 50,000 B.C C. 1000,000 B.C. D. 100,000 B.C. 15. After reading this article, one might infer that .A. language is a tool for adults to instruct childrenB. society uses language to improve itselfC. language brings powerD. with the evolution of language came wisdomPart II Vocabulary and Structrue (30)Directions: There are 30 incomplete statements here.
