问题     As with spoken language, written language is always used for a purpose. People read a text 【C1】______they think that it will enable them to find answers to questions that they are interested in answering. People write to express an【C2】______or to give information to particular readers. There are, of course, many different purposes for reading and writing and different purposes will【C3】______different reading and writing styles.
    In general, written language is structurally more "correct" than spoken language. It has clear word and sentence【C4】______and its information is more densely packed. More is said in【C5】______words. However, written language also contains both structural and contextual redundancy and this can help readers to【C6】______the text.
    Written language is often structurally more【C7】______than spoken language. This is because when people write they have【C8】______to think about what they want to write and are able to【C9】______to what they have written and revise it as often as they wish. This greater structural complexity is one factor that may make a text【C10】______to understand.
    When people read in their first language, they do not usually read every word in the text. Readers【C11】______ their eyes across and down the text stopping at groups of words (fixations) to check for meaning. The speed with which people read【C12】______their purpose for reading and on how【C13】______a range of possible meanings their brain has to choose from at every fixation. 【C14】______ readers use the structural and contextual redundancy of the language, their【C15】______of what they have already read and the general knowledge they already have to【C16】______what will come next, and so【C17】______the number of possible choices that the brain has to consider at any fixation.
    Both writers, when choosing how to express their【C18】______meaning for the audience that they have in mind, 【C19】______readers, when interpreting writers’ meaning, rely not only on their linguistic knowledge, but【C20】______ their general knowledge of the context in which they are reading and writing. Such knowledge, whether specifically linguistic or contextual, is stored in the long-text memory.
