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 sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (庸俗的)The origin of language is ______ (20 a problem not yet solvedOne of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that______&&  & they could combine them%By "association ", the author means ______.&@( AA()In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able ______.($to move menD. to tears to puzzle our feelings,Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?:( :$&  2:$His style is always charming.,;  2(( 5(&(5经营52&H5&($&((5 $&(5&(5 &2' ( $(5 5(5  &$52(5 勤奋One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity (不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers (雇客). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to put them up . I couldn’t put anything up ---I was too busy rollingon a four-foot six - inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) , helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members store for a conciliatory(和解)cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store.
