问题     How men first learned to invent words is (31); in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, (32) animals, somehow invented certain sounds to (33) thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate (34) each other; and (35) later they agreed (36) certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those (37), and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether (38) or written in letters, we call (39).
    The power of words, then, lies in their association—the things they bring up before our (40). Words become filled with (41) for us by experience; and the (42) we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our (43); and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.
    Great writers are (44) who not only have great thoughts but also (45) these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully (46) our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is (47) we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of (48). He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and (49) by their position and association can move men to tear. We should, (50), learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make out speech silly and vulgar.
