  第40题单选 根据以下材料,回答下面试题

  How men first learned to invent words is unknown;in other words,the origin of language is amystery.All we really know is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could communicate with each other;and that later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be combined to representthose sounds and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken,or written in letters,we call words.

  The power of words,then,lies in their associations—the things they bring up before ourminds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer We live,the morecertain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn,themore the number of words that mean something to us increases.

  Great writers are those who not oily have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in wordswhich appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions.This charming and telling use of words is whatwe call literary(文字的)style.AboVe all,the real poet is a master of Words.He can convey hismeaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move mento tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accuratel3r,or they willmake our speech silly and rude.
