　　例如：

　　How men first learnt to invent words is unknown； in other words， the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men， unlike animals， somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings， actions and things， so that they could communicate with each other； and that later they agreed upon certain signs， called letters， which could be combined to represent those sounds， and which could be written down. Those sounds， whether spoken or written in letters， we call words.

　　The power of words， then， lies in their associations —— the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience； and the longer we live， the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past； and the more we read and 1earn， the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

　　Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but a1so express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming use of words is what we call literary style. Above all， the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music， and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately， or they wil1 make our speech silly and dull.

　　Question： Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true？

　　A. He is no more a master of words than an ordinary person.

　　B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.

　　C. He can move men to tears.

　　D. His style is a1ways charming.

　　解答：选A.

　　这是一道是非题，需要找出一个错误的选项。根据文章最后一段，B，C，D三个

　　选项都是对的，必须排除。而A项说：一位真正的诗人并不比普通人能更好地掌握和运用

　　词语。这一说法显然是不对的（NOT true about the real poet），正符合题意。 A项为正确答案。
