问题     Our everyday encounters with language are so natural and so
extensive that we rarely consider language as an object of sufficient
interest to warrant study. Language is always there, and we make use
of it automatically, often with conscious effort. On the surface, there【M1】______
is nothing particularly interesting about so commonplace a
phenomenon with human language. In fact, it is widely believed that,【M2】______
because everyone knows a language, everything about language is
known. Therefore, this is far from true. Since the use of language is【M3】______
so natural to all people, it may seem that language itself must be
quite simple, perhaps consisting of many words but involves only a【M4】______
few principles that control pronunciation and the organization of these
words with sentences. However, investigation demonstrates that a【M5】______
language is an extremely complex, highly abstract, and infinitely
producing system linking meanings with sounds. We all know the【M6】______
system of our native language, and this knowledge lies far below our【M7】______
consciousness. We may be able to describe particular sentences that
we hear and we are certainly able to produce and understand an
unending variety of sentences, but the foundation of these abilities is a
body of knowledge about our language that we cannot readily to explain.【M8】______
Observing an activity, even participating it, is not equivalent to【M9】______
understanding it.
    Many people are able to work arithmetic problems with large【M10】______
numbers without being able to describe the mental processes they
have used in arriving at the answer.
