        How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin (起源) of language is a
    mystery. All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express
    thoughts and feelings, actions, and the things, so that they would communicate with each other; and that
    later they agree upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined (结合) to represent those sounds,
    and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words. The
    power of words, then, lies in their associations (交际)-the things they bring up before our minds. Words
    become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us
    the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean
    something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these
    thoughts in words which appeal (具有感染力) powerfully to our minds and emotions (情感). This charming
    and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He
    can convey (转达) 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 correctly, or
    they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的).
    1. According to the writer of the passage, ______.
    [     ]
    A. men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts
    B. the origin of language is a difficult question
    C. words did not have written form at first
    D. words came from sounds
    2. In order not to make our speech silly and vulgar, we should ______.
    [     ]
    A. use words that can move men to tears
    B. choose words with care and accuracy (正确)
    C. become a master of words
    D. use words which sing like music
    3. The best title for this passage would be ______.
    [     ]
    A. The Meaning of Words
    B. The Nature of Words
    C. The Invention of Words
    D. The Power of Words
