单选题{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}}
How men first learned to invent words
is unknown; in other words, the origin 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 those rounds, 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 combinations--the things 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 sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number
of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are
those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words
which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use
of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above alt, 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
will make our speech silly and rude.
