问题     Is language, as food, a basic human need? Judging (1)______
from the drastic experiment of Frederick II in the
13th century it may be. Hoping to discover what lan
guage a child would speak if he hears no mother tongue, (2)______
he told the nurses to keep silent.
    Today no such drastic deprivation exists as that or
dered by Frederick. Furthermore, some children are (3) ______
still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for
this is that the mother is insensitive to the cues and
signals of the infant, which brain is programmed to (4)______
mop up language rapidly. There are critical times, it
seems, when children learn more readily. If these
sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for ac
quiring skills passes away and they might never be (5)______
learned so easily again.
    Linguists suggest that speech milestones are
reached in fixed sequence and at a constant age.
But there are cases which speech has started late in a (6)______
child who eventually turns up to be of high IQ. Recent (7)______
evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity
to speak. But speech has to be triggered, and this de
pends on interaction between the mother and the
child, where the mother recognizes the cues and signal (8)______
in the child’s babbling, grasping, crying, smiling,
and responds to it. Insensitivity of the mother to these (9)______
signals dulls the interaction because the child gets dis
couraged and sends out only obvious signals. Sen- (10)______
sitivity to the child’s non-verbal cues is essential to the
growth and development of language. [br] (9)
