18、r body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep your muscles relax little by little.

23、 is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 37 How men learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery.

24、ings, 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

25、 words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds.

27、er 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.
