问题    Tracing missing persons can take much patient
detective work. But a special kind of "private eye"
can trace the missing ancestors of whole peoples by 【1】______
studying the clues buried by words.                                      
   These philologists, such as the language detectives【2】______
are called, have traced the word trail back                  
from peoples in Europe, India, South Africa, the                  
Americas, and the Pacific islands in a tiny name-   【3】______
less, and forgotten tribe that roamed central Eurasia                  
5,000 to 6,000 years ago, before the dawn                                      
of writing history.                                 【4】______
   Since a long time scholars puzzled over the      【5】______
striking difference of words in different languages.【6】______

likely and meant the same thing--"father".          【7】______

peoples used such close related sound symbols.      【9】______
The problem baffled linguists for years. The more                  
so because "father" was but one of a host of such                  
coincidences. Towards the end of the 18 century it  【10】______
