Human are social animals. They depend on groups for survival. An individual human being lost in a wilderness is capable of doing many things. But he will probably be thinking constantly about how much better it would be if there were other people around to talk to and to help.
Because humans like to live and work in groups, they form couples and families; villages and cities; work groups, teams, and other organizations.Language is the "cement" that holds these social groups together.
Through language we can share ideas and experiences. The human mouth and throat are so constructed that we can utter a variety of sounds. Language is the device for matching certain combinations of sounds with the symbols for things, ideas, and emotions. Our brains think in symbols—words and sentences—as well as in the images that we receive from our senses. Thus we can turn experiences into symbols and communicate to other people through the use of language. Any one individual, therefore, can learn much from others that he can discover alone. Language enables people to pass ideas from group to group and from generation to generation.
Language is part of culture. Culture, in this sense, means all those customs, skills, and attitudes that are part of the behavior of particular group. The way you live, what you think, and what you want in life are all affected by the culture of the group in which you are raised. Groups of people live in different ways. They may have different skills, organizations, and art forms. Their family life may be completely different from yours.
Human beings are inventive animals. They can even decide to change their culture in order to meet new situations. They can choose to live in many environments and in a wide variety of ways. Of all living things, only human being can choose where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help themselves realize these choices. Acquiring the wisdom to make wise choice is the enduring challenge of being human.
Directions: Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 10 words for each blank.
