24、in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, w

25、hich could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

31、move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.Passage 3 Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day?
