　　When a human infant is born into any community in any part of the world it has two things in common with any infant, pro- __1__vided neither of them have been damaged in any way either be- __2__fore or during birth. Firstly, and most obviously, newborn children are completely helpless. Apart from a powerful capacity to pay attention to their helplessness by using sound, there is nothing __3__the newborn child can do to ensure his own survival. Without care from some other human being or beings, be it mother, grandmother, or human group, a child is very unlikely to survive.

　　This helplessness of human infants is in marked contrast with the capacity of many newborn animals to get on their feet __4__within minutes of birth and run with the herd within a few hours. Although young animals are certainly in risk, sometimes __5__for weeks or even months after birth, compared with the human infant they very quickly develop the capacity to fend for them. __6__It is during this very long period in which the human infant is totally dependent on the others that is reveals the second fea- __7__ture which is shares with all other undamaged human infants, a capacity to learn language. For this reason, biologists now suggest that language be “species-specific ” to the human race, that is __8__to say, they consider the human infant to be genetic programmed __9__in such way that it can acquire language. This suggestion implies __10__that just as human beings are designed to see three-dimensionally and in color, and just as they are designed t stand upright rather than to move on all fours, so they are designed to learn and use language as part of their normal development as well-formed human beings.

　　答案：

　　1.and ^ infant 加入other。根据上下文，这里主要指的是与其他婴儿相比，不是与任何一个婴儿相比

　　2.have 改成has。Neither 后面跟单数形式。

　　3.pay attention改成draw/ attract/ call .这事一个用词不当的错误，应是引起别人注意的意思。

　　4.get on their feet on 改成to。 Get to their feet 指站立。

　　5.in risk 或 in risk 改成at或danger。这里可以有两种改法，改成at risk，或是in danger

　　6.fend for them 改成themselves。这里的主语与濒于同指young animals, 因此要用反身代词

　　7.on the others 删掉the ，这里指的是其他人，不是其他婴儿。

　　8.language be be改成is。这里suggest不指建议，他指的是提出(看法等)，因此不需要用动词原形

　　9.genetic 改成genetically。这里应该是个副词。

　　10.such ^ way 加入a。way 在这里是可数名词，因此要加入不定冠词。
