the origin(起源) of language is a mystery. all we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent（表示） those sounds and which could be written down. those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.the power of words, then, lies in their association-the thing they bring up before our minds. words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and the sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. this charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. above all, the real poet is a master of words. he can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. we should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they make our speech silly and impolite.29. what does the underlined word “convey” in the third paragraph mean?a. express b. find c. understand d. impress30. where does the real power of the words come from?a. from the words themselves. b. from their characteristics.c. from their curiosity. d. from their association.31. according to the passage, words are _. a. visual letters b. represented by sounds c. represented either by sounds or by letters d. signs called letters dwhile i was waiting outside my wifes office building for her to get out of work. i saw a bum (流浪乞丐) coming my way. “i hope he wont ask me for any money，” i thought. he came and sat in front of the bus stop. after a few minutes he spoke. “thats a very pretty car，” he said. he was in rags，but he had an air of dignity (尊严) about him. i gave him a smile and continued cleaning my car. he sat there quietly as i worked. the expected asking for money never came. as the silence between us widened，it seemed that a voice inside me said，“ask him if he needs any help. ”“do you need any help？” i asked. he answered in three simple but meaningful words that i shall never forget. we often look for wisdom in great men and women，and we expect it from those of higher learning and achievements. i expected nothing but an outstretched (伸出的) dirty hand from him，but he said three words that shook me. “dont we all？” he said. i_was_feeling_high，successful_and_important_above_a_bum_in_the_street，until those three words hit me like a shot. dont we all?i needed help. maybe not for a bus fare or for a place to sleep，but i needed help. i reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for a bus fare，but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. those three little words still ring true. no matter how much you have，you need help，too. no matter how little you have，no matter how loaded you are with problems，even without money or a place to sleep，you can give help. maybe god looked down，called an angel，dressed him like a bum，and then said，“go to that man cleaning the car. that man needs help. ”dont we all?32the writer was near the bus stop_. ato meet the bum bto wait for his wifecto wait for a bus dto clean his car33at the sight of the bum，the writer_. aasked him if he needed any help bhoped to give the bum some moneycwished the

traveled just for fun. even in ancient times, some pleasure travel occurred. during a typical season, 700,000 tourists. would crowd into the ancient city of rome, where animals performed and magicians entertained them. 37 38 international tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010, according to the world trade organization. 39
