问题     One of the first things that should strike any half observant parent is the
speed and apparent accuracy in which a child proceeds to learning his or her (1)______
own language. This remarkably rapid development seems to fly in the face
of many known facts about the nature of the language—so much so that it (2)______
has become widely accepted in the scientific community to think language (3)______
and its acquisition as one of many utterly unexplainable mysteries that beset
us in our daily lives.
    Even the most clever of scientists today do not know where to begin
with trying to unravel the range of complexities that all of language brings.
Even so, the child moves ever onward, seemingly with little deference to
this so-called mystery and proceed with little effort to crack the sacred code (4)______
nonetheless.
    How could this be? Firstly, parents provide with very little in the way (5)______
of language instruction to the child—contrary with what might be believed, (6)______
parents do not teach their children to speak. Most parent wouldn’t even have (7)______
the mean in which to explain language overtly to a child even if they want- (8)______
ed. By the time a child enters into pre-school, she has more or less mastered (9)______
much of her target language. However, in light of these remarkable achieve
ments, children do seem to go through varying degrees of stages along the
way to their full mastery. It is this notion of stages of acquisition which has (10)______
interested the developmental linguists most.
