32、not heated debates about films weve just watchedor books weve just finished reading,but plain and simple _51_.Language is our greatest treasure as a species,and what do we _52_ do with it?We gossip.About others behaviour and private lives,such as whos doing what with whom,whos in and whosout-and why
33、;how to deal with difficult _53_ situations involving children,lovers,and colleagues.So why are we keen on gossiping?Are we just natural _54_，of both time and words?Or do wetalk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issuesof life?Its not the case accordi
