The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky42that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the43is only secondary. Children are not taught language44they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists,45, hold the view that a child learns46of his language from the hints in the environment.47, theorists of both schools48that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The49is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field50to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to51their own theory, but52side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to53why a child learns a language so easily, we have to54the joint efforts of both schools.

One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Readers Digest to test our vocabulary.Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out It pays to Enrich your Word Power first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Readers Digest knows the power that words have to move peopleto entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isnt always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk.Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! Thats usually how it is with Readers Digest. Small and simple can be profound.As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, Ive been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like hope, guts, faith, dreams. Those am words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.Dont get me wrong. Im not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracleif its the right word, in the right place, at the right time. Its a secret that I hope I never forget.64. The passage is mainly about _.A. one of the many old memoriesB. using simple words to express profound ideasC. Readers Digest and school speechesD. how to make effective speeches65. It seems that Readers Digest is a magazine popular with _.A. people of all agesB. teenagersC. school teachersD. elderly readers66. The authors secret is _.A. to avoid using big words at any timeB. to use words that have the power to move peopleC. to work a miracle by using a small wordD. to use small and simple words where possible67. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people _.A. hope, courage, and ideasB. confidence, determination, and strengthC. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragementD. entertainment, information, and powerDThere are two kinds of memory: short-mm and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Hennings results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.68. Which
