Read the following passage and choose the best word for each numbered blank.
Watch a baby between six and nine months old, and you will observe
the basic concept of geometry(JL何) being learned. (Once) 1 the baby has mastered the idea that space is three dimensionalc三维的), it reaches out and begins 2 (grasping) various kinds of objects. It is then, from perhaps nine to fifteen months
3 (that) the concepts of sets and numbers are formed. (So far) 4 ，so good.
But now a strange development (takes place) 5 .The nerve fibers in the
brain isolate themselves in such a way that the baby begins to hear sounds very precisely. Soon it picks up language, and it is then (brought into) 6 direct communication with adults. From this point on, it (goes) 7 . downhill all the way for mathematics, (because) 8 the child now becomes exposed
9 (to) all the nonsense words and beliefs of the community _ (into which) 10
it has been so unfortunate as to have been born 11 . Nature, having permitted it the luxury of thinking

(for itself) 12 for eighteen months, now abandons it to the arbitrary conventions and beliefs of society.
But (at least) 13 the child knows something of geometry and numbers,
and it will always (retain) 14 some memory of the early peaceful days, no matter what changes it may suffer later on. The main (reservoir) 15 0f mathematical talent in any society is thus possessed by children who are about two years old.
