The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical words (1)______ have "less meaning", but in fact some grammarians have (2)______ called them "empty" words as opposed in the "full" words of  (3)______ vocabulary. But this is a rather misled way of expressing the (4)______ distinction. Although a word like the is not the name of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; (5)______ there is a sharp difference in meaning between "man is vile" and "the man is vile", yet the is the single vehicle of this    (6)______ difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they     (7)______ have, even in the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been "little words." But size is by no mean   (8)______ a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go,    (9)______ man, say, car. Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say: we certainly do create a  great number of obscurity when we omit them. This is illustrated (10)______ not only in the poetry of Robert Browing but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.

问答题Four months before election day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversized calendar that mark the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o’’clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserteD.Even so, the men kept the door shut and the drapes carefully drawn. The three principals and their two deputies had come from around the country for a critical meeting. Their aim was to devise a strategy that would guarantee Ronald Reagan’’s resounding reelection to a second term in the White House.It should have been easy. These were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ones to the Republican party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country. The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with. America was at peace, and the nation’’s economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for a top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills. Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America ― a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government.
