Language as a System of Symbols

Of all systems of symbols(符号), language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual(相互的) dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.

There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.

However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature: foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel the symbol is inherently(内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.

1.Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _________.

A.have made use of language for centuries

B.use our nervous systems to support language

C.have made various noises stand for any events

D.can make anything stand for anything by agreement

2.What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?

A.Different noise may mean different things.

B.Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.

C.The language we use symbolizes our social positions.

D.Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.

3.In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “________”.

A.try very hard B.take our time

C.are very unhappy D.feel especially painful

4 .The example of the little boy is used to show that ___________.

A.adults often learn from their young

B.“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty

C.words are not connected with the things they stand for

D.people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works

参考范文:

The text mainly introduces what nonverbal humor means. It tells something about Charlie Chaplin’s style of acting and how he made a sad situation. It also gives us a short biography about him.

Is a sense of humor important? Different people have different opinions. I think a sense of humor is of great importance in our life. Firstly, humor can make us laugh, which is good for our health. With a crack of jokes, all our worries and sadness will disappear. Secondly, humor helps us live in harmony with others. It is unavoidable to have misunderstanding and tension with others during work and study. But humor can amuse and relax ourselves so that we can deal with the problems. A person with a sense of humor can always get along well with others. What’s more, it is really one of the keys to happiness. So it gives joy to life to make it worth living.

Period 3 Grammar

v-ing形式作表语、定语和宾语补足语

1. 作表语 My job is teaching. / Seeing is believing.

The story he told us is very exciting. / What he said is surprising.

2. 作定语 This is a waiting/ reading/ working room. (动名词)

The working people are really great. (现在分词)

动名词作定语表示用途。如:a sleeping car = a car (used) for sleeping

现在分词作定语表逻辑上的主谓关系。如:a sleeping child = a child who is sleeping

现在分词作定语时,表示动作正在进行或与谓语动词说表示的动作几乎同时发生。如果两个动作有先有后,应该用完成式,但现在分词的完成式一般不作定语。如:

(误)The teacher criticized the boy having broken the window.

(正)The teacher criticized the boy who had broken the window.

单个分词作定语时,放在被修饰的名词之前;分词短语作定语时,放在被修饰的名词之后,此时相当于一个定语从句。如:The man standing at the door is our English teacher. = The man who is standing at the door is our English teacher.

3. 作宾语补足语

You can see them performing every night this week at the new theatre.

You have kept me waiting a whole day.

能带现在分词作宾语补足语的动词主要有:feel, find, hear, listen to, notice, observe, see, smell, watch, get, have, keep, leave, set, etc.
