In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words【C1】______which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we【C2】______, that is to say, from the【C3】______of our own family and from our familiar associates, and【C4】______we should know and use【C5】______we could not read or write. They【C6】______the common things of life, and are the stock in trade (惯用手法) of all who【C7】______the language. Such words may be called "popular," since they belong to the people【C8】______and are not the exclusive【C9】______of a limited class.
On the other hand, our language【C10】______a multitude of words which are comparatively【C11】______used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little【C12】______to use them at home or in the market-place. Our【C13】______acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's【C14】______or from the talk of our schoolmates,【C15】______from books that we read, lectures that we【C16】______, or the more formal conversation of【C17】______educated speakers who are discussing some particular【C18】______ in a style. appropriately elevated above the habitual【C19】______of everyday life. Such words are called "learned," and the【C20】______ between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic (语言学的) process.

听力原文:M: Today, I'm interviewing nine-year-old Carol about her feelings on how people can help save the environment. Good evening, Carol.
W: Good evening, I'm glad to be here.
M: So, Carol, how can we save the environment?
W: By saving water.
M: Well, how can we do that?
W: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.
M: Oh, I think I can do that. What else?
W: We should try to make our environment tidy.
M: What can we do?
W: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trashcan to put it in because littering makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground?
M: No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions?
W: Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live.
M: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, everyday?
W: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could make things out of them, like paper trees, instead of just throwing them away.
M: Good idea! What do you do now?
W: Now, the children in our neighbourhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling centre.
M: That's great. Well, thanks Carol for your ideas.
W: You're welcome.
