III. Complete the following passage by filling one word for each blank.
If there is just one single thing more astonishing than the ability of the adult human being to talk, it is the process by which someone learns to do this. Some parts of the process are still (1)________ much a closed book, but it is for the (2)_________ part possible to describe what the child is doing at various stages in its development, even if we cannot account (3)________ how exactly it learns to do these things.
In fact, research carried out by various linguists has (4)_________ rise to as many theories as there are differences in the rate of development. A baby actually makes sounds from the moment it is born, but for some time these are rather far removed (5)_________ articulate speech. In something like a year, a baby will probably be at a stage where one or two syllables represent the peak of its achievement as a speaker; one more year and it will be (6)_______ out with short phrases, and after this it seems (7)________ time at all before the child is capable of uttering complete sentences.
Despite being a truly remarkable feat of learning, this is one that is performed by the vast (8)_________ of human beings. Complex operations are brought (9)________ play in these dealing with speech and language; the key (10)_______ in brain work, though tongue – work and ear – work play a part in the whole process.

It's true that there is a great sense of (5) ______________________ behind, for example, the creation of a well-made product, or the clinching of an important deal, though this might not be the (6) ______________________ if you were serving in a shop or delivering letters. Still, as long as the customers are satisfied, then you can (7) ______________________ yourself on a job well done, and feel that you have (8) ______________________ to the success of the company that (9) ______________________ you. On the other hand, would you feel that your work was more worthwhile if you received more praise from your employers? Would you feel happier if they paid you a (10) ______________________ or sent you to a sales conference in Tahiti? Or is praise unnecessary, as long as the job (11) ______________________ you with the company of other people, and the feeling that you belong to the group? Most of us are probably too (12) ______________________ working to wonder too much about this. One day perhaps we'll find that ideal job which gives life meaning, but until then we'll just get up every morning and keep on working.
