Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that sets humans completely   36   from all other animals. Language is a means of   37   , but it is much more than that. Many animals can   38   . The dance of the honeybee communicates the location of flowers   39   other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything,   40   things like unicorns (獨角獸) that have never existed. The key   41   in the fact that different words can be   42   together in different ways, according to   43   to communicate different meanings.

Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing can   44   humans so much as our ability to communicate abstract   45  , whether about the university, the mind, love, dreams, or ordering a drink. It is an extremely complex   46   that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not aware of most   47   of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to   48   . The speaker has to translate thoughts into  49   language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the   50   of speech is extremely fast. Only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to   51    what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to   52   the spoken words, understand the pattern of   53   of the words (sentences), and finally   54   the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But once started, it is of course a(n)    55   process.

Entrants(參加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣誕老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(獎勵) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.
