And as this is 1（） of the techniques of mankind, so it is true of mankind’s 2（）resources. Most of these resources, both 3（） and spiritual, are stored in books. Books are man’s 4（） accomplishment. When you have read a book, you have 5（）to your human experience. Read Homer and your mind includes a 6（）of Homer’s mind. Through books you can 7（） at least fragments of the mind and 8（） of Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare--the list is 9（）. For a great book is necessarily a （）; it offers you a 11（） you have not the time to live yourself, and it takes you into a world you have not the time to travel in 12（） time. A civilized 13（） is, in 14（）, one that contains many such lives and many such 15（）. If you are too much in a 16（）, or too arrogantly proud of your own 17（）, to accept as a gift to your 18（） some pieces of the minds of Aristotle, or Chaucer or Einstein, you are 19（） a developed human nor a useful 20（） of a democracy. 1.(____)
