　　Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of   (62)   is partly to   (63)   things or processes with. no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in terminology.   (64)  , they save time, for it is much more   (65)  , to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very   (66)    included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather   (67)   the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders.
　　Different occupations, however, differ   (68)   in their special vocabularies. It   (69)   largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have   (70)   themselves into the very fiber of our language.   (71)  , though highly technical in many details, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally   (72)  , than most other technical terms.   (73)   every vocation still possesses a large   (74)   of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even   (75)   educated people. And the proportion has been much   (76)   in the last fifty years. Most of the newly   (77)   terms are   (78)   to special discussion, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once   (79)  , a close federation. What is called "popular science" makes everybody   (80)   with modern view and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,   (81)   made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.

　　Part I   Sample Writing
　　An Eye-witness Account of a Traffic Accident
　　Yesterday afternoon, I happened to witness a terrible traffic accident on my way home from school. It was 5:30 p. m. , I was riding my favorite Giant back home. When I got to the last crossing on the Golden Lion Street, the red light was on. So I applied the brakes, along with a long queue of vehicles waiting to pass.

　　Just at that moment, a heavy-load truck with earth roared forward at my side and bumped against a private Accord of Honda traveling eastbound. As a result, the windshield of the lorry was broken into pieces and its driver got fatally wounded on the head on the steering wheel. The driver of the Accord and his girlfriend, the only passenger in the car, only got minor injuries, but his car lost its rear axel and two wheels and was totally dead.
　　As for the cause of the accident, I think the driver of the lorry should be held responsible: the light was red then; he should have stopped and waited. It was he who had broken the traffic regulations. In addition, the bad weather was part of the cause. It was drizzling then, and the road was quite slippery. Finally, drunk driving was probably an important factor. As the police discovered on the spot; there was a heavy alcoholic smell on the dead body of the lorry driver.
