问题     There are between 3,000 and 6,000 public languages in the world, and we must add approximately 6 billion private languages since each one of us【B1】______ has one. Considering these facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem【B2】______ in number. However, we do communicate successfully from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages. But learning to speak languages seems to be a very【B3】______ process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, "Hot, hot! " And the baby, when it stops crying,【B4】______ the mother and says, "Hot, hot! " However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language,【B5】______ that although children do learn some words by imitation and association, they also combine words to make meaningful sentences in ways that are【B6】______, unlearned and creative. Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants【B7】______ the ability to learn language. Chomsky meant that【B8】______ all the differences between public and private languages, there is a universal language 【B9】______ that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This theory explains the【B10】______ that human infants have for learning language. But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways. [br] 【B10】
