From childhood to old age, all of us have to use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world around us. When humans first __62__, they were like
new-born children, unable to use this __63__ tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind's future __64__ and cultural growth increased。

languages. They __66__ that our highly
evolved brain provides us __67__ an innate
language ability not found in lower __68__. Proponents (支持者) of this innateness theory say that our __69__ for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, __70__ a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical __71__ times for language development。
Current__72__ of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. __73__, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in __74__ grades. Young children often can learn
several languages by being __75__ to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the __76__ of their first language have become firmly fixed。
__77__ some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been __78__ from other human beings do not possess languages. This demonstrates that __79__ with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language __80__ than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. __81__, children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their children's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones。
