完形填空

　　No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds 1 those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted (发出呼噜声) like a pig 2 he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round 3 --water splashing (飞溅), bees humming (嗡嗡作响声), a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned 4 words. As the centuries went by, he made 5 new words. This is what we mean by language.

　　People living in 6 countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen 7 different languages in the world. Each contains four or five hundred thousand words, 8 we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words 9 in everyday life.
