阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual. Try to imagine what the first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake most of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously (好奇地). You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.

Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.

Later you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be nice, but it can’t be a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. People can understand each other only when they use the same set of sounds of things. Then they have a LANGUAGE.

After you found the secret of language, you began to learn words. Some words mean things, such as BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words mean doing things, such as GO and SWIM, and other words describe things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express your idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By means of language people can communicate. So we say languages are means of communication.
