Question

仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word If you can, you are not common. Probably it happened sometime near your first birthday. Try to imagine(想象)what the first few months of your life were like. You spent most of your time eating and sleeping. It took only a few sounds to let people know when you were happy or if you needed something. As you grew older, you were not asleep more of the time. Your parents spent more time playing with you and talking to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people made certain sounds to express certain things. It seemed that there had to be a certain sound for each thing and each person. In time you began to try to make the sounds you heard. And one day you were able to make the right sound for one thing. On that day, you "found out" the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. "Abbadabba" would be just as good a sound to mean "dog" as our word "dog". But it's no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same group of sounds for things can everybody understand one another. Then, and only then, do these people have one language. After you discovered(发现) the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as "book", "chair", "bed" and "shoe". Some words meant doing things, such as "go", "give", "eat", and "throw". And some words described(描写) things, such as "good", "bad", and "funny". Soon you learned to put words together to express(表达) an idea such as "I want to go outside and play with my friends". You had discovered language. You were learning to use it to get what you needed and wanted. (1) This passage tells us ________.

A. make many new words B. remember the day we spoke our first word C. learn as many words as possible D. learn "abbadabba" and so on [　　] (5) What is the secret of language A.
