Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter, more 26 , less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and 27 ，more confident, resourceful (机敏的)， persistent and 28 than he will ever be again in his schooling-or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life. Already, by paying close attention to and 29 the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and 30 than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the 31 of language. He has discovered it-babies don't even know that language exists-and he has found out how it works and learnt to use it32 . He hasdone it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by33 and seeing whether it works by gradually changing it and 34 it until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the 35 that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
