问题     When a human infant is born into any community in any part
of the world it has two things in common with any infant, pro-           【M1】______
vided neither of them have been damaged in any way either be-            【M2】______
fore or during birth. Firstly, and most obviously, newborn chil-
dren are completely helpless. Apart from a powerful capacity to
pay attention to their helplessness by using sound, there is noth-       【M3】______
ing the newborn child can do to ensure his own survival. With-
out care from some other human being or beings, be it mother,
grandmother, or human group, a child is very unlikely to sur-
vive. This helplessness of human infants is in marked contrast
with the capacity of many newborn animals to get on their feet           【M4】______
within minutes of birth and run with the herd within a few
hours. Although young animals are certainly in risk, sometimes           【M5】______
for weeks or even months after birth, compared with the human
infant they very quickly develop the capacity to fend for them.          【M6】______
It is during this very long period in which the human infant
is totally dependent on the others that it reveals the second fea-       【M7】______
ture which it shares with all other undamaged human infants, a
capacity to learn language. For this reason, biologists now sug-
gest that language be "species-specific" to the human race, that is      【M8】______
to say, they consider the human infant to be genetic programmed          【M9】______
in such way that it can acquire language. This suggestion implies        【M10】______
that just as human beings are designed to see three-dimensionally
and in colour, and just its they arc designed to stand upright
rather than to move on all fours, so they arc designed to learn
and use language as part of their normal development as well-
formed human beings.
【M9】
