问题     Everyone knows that human language can be a superb
means of communication. Therefore, it can be damnably             【M1】______
misleading, a barrier to people’s understanding with each
other, and never more so than when names given for the
ease of classification are taken to mean more than they           【M2】______
do. If, for instance, they say that this man is white and         【M3】______
that man coloured, we say no more than truth as long              【M4】______
as we understand that we are speaking only of the colour
of the skin. We can also make neutral and honest
comments such as that "A" is above average height,
has little than the average intelligence, is red-                 【M5】______
haired, is born in the north, and is left-handed. The
danger raises when we find other men who are white                【M6】______
or coloured, who are tall, stupid, red-haired, northerners,
or sinister. It is then we begin to correlate one fact with       【M7】______
another and to make assumptions about other characteristics,
which we believe are linked to the features we first observe.
So that when we talk about the white or the coloured,             【M8】______
we apt to imply and believe that each adjective tells us          【M9】______
more about the person in the question than it can. We             【M10】______
are making them into portmanteau words into which
we have packed our hopes，our wishes，our prejudices and our fears．
