Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard.And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.On that day you came to understand the secret of the language.The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing.One sound might be as good as another.But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning.Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things，they can understand each other，so these people have a language.After you found the secret of language，you learned words.Some of the words meant things，such as books，chairs and shops.Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim.And other words describe things such as good or dirty. Soon you learn to put words together to express ones idea，such as“ I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language.By the way of language people can communicate.So we say languages mean communication.21_can remember the day when we spoke our first words.AFew of usBNo oneCMost people22When you were a little baby，you _.Amade sounds to let people know that you wanted to eatBspent most of your time eating，playing and sleepingCcould not hear any sounds around you23The secret of language is that_.Aone sound might be as good as anotherBa certain sound is for a certain thingCpeople can understand each other24You could learn words_.Abefore you knew what language wasBwhen you were a babyCafter you knew what language was25The use of language is _.Ato get everything one wants from anotherBto say what one wants to knowCto share ideas，opinions，news，etc.with one another(六)Everyone knows that chickens lay eggs(产卵)Most people know that all the other birds do as well.But have you ever thought about other animals that lay eggs？They include bees，snakes and some sea animals.When a mother lays eggs，many more babies can be born at once，or in a few days，because there is very little development inside the parent.Animals that do not lay eggs often have fewer babies.Animals lay many eggs because other animals may eat the babies.However，even though some of their babies are eaten，they will still have some more to continue their family.Some animals that lay eggs do not take care of their young.Turtles come on to the beach
