If you can, you are unusual. Suppose what your life was like during the first few months. Im sure that it took your most time to eat，sleep and cry. As you grew older you slept less. Your parents would spend more time playing with you and talking to you. You watched and listened. You got to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.Then you began to cry and to make sounds you heard. And little by little you could make right sound for one thing.Then you got to understand the secret of the language. It is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound could be as good as another. But it is not so good as a word if everybody doesnt agree on its meaning. Only when a group of people make and use the same set of sounds of things they can understand each other. Their own language comes into being.After you knew the “secret” you learned words. Some of the words meant things such as cars, books, birds and stores. Some of the words meant movements such as come, fly and swim. And other words express things such as “I would like to make friends with you.” This is language that people can communicate by the way of language. That is to say, languages mean communication.36 . can remember the day when we spoke out first word.AFew of usBMany peopleCMost peopleDSomeone37 .

No other children ever stayed there. I didnt even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.I could never understand what the attraction of the house was, even for my parents, who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book. The woman in the house, my fathers distant cousin, was a terrible cook and her food was inedible (不能吃的).One day, when I was wandering (漫步) around the garden behind the house, I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned(被遗弃的). As I walked towards it, I heard a noise, like an animal moving hurriedly away. Then I saw a man with a long beard (胡须) standing at the door. I was greatly surprised.“Please dont tell them you saw me,” he said.“They never use this place, and I have nowhere else to live.” “Dont worry,” I said. “I wont tell anyone. But are you all right out here? I mean do you have enough to eat?” The old man shook his head.The same evening, I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and, while no one was looking, emptied some of the food into it. Later, I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man, whose name I had discovered was Taff.I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile of satisfaction on Taffs face when he ate the food. From then on, my visits to the old house had a purpose, and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay.41 .
