concentrateREADING COMPREHENSION :Read the following passage carefully then choose the correct anwer :Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech.A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language.Human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years, but they have been talking for much longer.When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, albeit imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write. Any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so.On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing sytsems never learn to read or write,while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly.
