All we really know is that men, uni ikeani mals, somehow inven ted certa in sounds to express thought and feeli ngs, actions and thin gs, so that they could com muni cate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certa in sig ns, called letters, which could becomb ined to prese nt those soun ds, and which could be writte n dow n. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing theybring up before our min ds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experie nee; and the Ion ger we live, the more certa in words recall to us the glad and sad eve nts of our past; and the more we read and lear n, the more the nu mber of words that mean somethi ng in creases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which si ng like music and which by their positi on and association can move mento tears. We should therefore learn to choose ourwords carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.36.

They are mysterious.B. characteristicsD. represe ntative fun ctionB. a joining of ideas in theD. a stra nge featurereal poet is NOT trueB. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charm ing.Passage 6Wecan make mistakes at any age. Somemistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “ Did Jerry really care whe n I broke up with Helen ” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel goodabout it, as a friend Or did he envy my luck ” When we look back, doubtslike these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it' s too late. Why do we go wrong about our frie nds — or our en emies Sometimes whatpeople say hides their real meaning. And if we don ' t really listen, we a lucky dog ” .
