What makes a child speak a language has long been a puzzle to linguists (语言学家). 1 speaking, there are two schools of linguists, both of 2 try to explain 3 a child picks up a language so easily. The fact that a child picks up a language 4 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 5 “bye-bye”; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 6 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 7 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 8 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 9 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 10 , hold the view that a child learns 11 of his language from the hints in the environment. 12 , theorists of both schools 13 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 14 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 15 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 16 their own theory, but 17 side is persuading the other.

二、 阅读理解
A
I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school day’s, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader's Digest to test our vocabulary.
Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out “It pays to Enrich your Word Power” first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader's Digest knows the power that words have to move people — to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: “Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk”.
Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That's usually how it is with Reader’s Digest. Small and simple can be profound.
As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I’ve been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like “hope”, “guts”, “dreams” "faith". Those are words that move people and say’ so much about the spirit of America.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle — if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a “secret” that I hope I never forget.

B. to use words that have the power to move people

4. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ________.
A. hope, courage, and ideas
