1. Having all your mental systems on full alert for a long time is
exhausting.
2. One positive step people may take to preserve a certain way of life
is the establishment of a government.
3. The problem in determining the answer to questions concerning the
origin and evolution of human language is that we have so little solid
evidence on which to base any claims.
4. In 1776 Mozart wrote,“We live in this world to compel ourselves
industriously to enlighten one another by means of reasoning and to apply
ourselves always to carrying forward the sciences and the arts.”
5. In the beginning, we humans did not settle away from each other.
We did not keep to ourselves or to lonely, outer borders. We were curious,
drawn to one another, comforted by our similarities and inspired by our
differences. We are still that way, I think.
6. We tend to see ourselves as others see us and, thus, to make
judgements about our conduct through the eyes of other persons.
7. Of course, it is always possible to finish a novel in the purely
formal sense, to bring its narrative sequence to some kind of conclusion.
And always, as one writes, there is the temptation to hurry the book to
its end to relieve the suspense about one's ability to finish it.
8. Some of the children were scratched launching cats, but it was
such a pleasure to be throwing cats around without being scolded for it
that they forgot their wounds. In the end, Bell had to admit that a cat
can right itself in mid-air.

really are because ( 3 ) our readiness to accept their faults and ( 4 )
their virtues. The ( 5 ) is equally true when we ( 6 ) to look at

10. So far from admiring their parents and wishing to become like them,
one side of their nature hates them and wishes to avoid having anything to
do with them.
11. No species of animal can ever be perfectly adapted to its
environment, because the environment changes; and a species which has
adapted itself exceptionally well to the conditions of a given period may
later be made unfit for that very reason, while other species, less highly
specialised, increase and multiply.
12. Memories are our most enduring characteristic. In old age we can
remember our childhood eighty or more years ago; a chance remark can
conjure up a face, a name, a vision of sea or mountains once seen and
apparently long forgotten. Memory defines who we are and shapes the
way we act more closely than any other single aspect of our personhood.

14. Since basic language and mathematical skills are indispensable
to modern society, they are an integral part of the school curriculum.
Today's rapidly changing knowledge base mandates that schools not only
provide students with the basic facts but also teach them how to continue
learning so as to adapt to change. Teaching how to think is a fundamental
part of the educational system.
15. By its nature, the expensive habit is not only physically
gratifying but also beyond the financial reach of all but a fortunate
few, thus making it a treat for the mind as well as the body.
16. The fantastic economic growth made possible by modern science has
a dark side, for it has led to severe environmental damage to many parts
of the planet, and raised the possibility of an eventual global ecological
catastrophe.

17. To guard against ( 1 ) to human well-being, we must make certain
that we have ( 2 ) systems of ( 3 ) in place to ( 4 ) that future

18. It is generally assumed that the most important function language
performs is the communication of information. Written language has
permitted the development of diverse cultures; it makes it possible to
transfer information so that people may utilize the knowledge of their
ancestors and other people in different cultures.
19. Only later did I learn how something seen from the viewpoint of
one's own culture can have an entirely different meaning when looked at
from a foreign culture's point of view.
20. Many people take sleep so much for granted that they hardly ever
stop to reflect on its origin and meaning. Only when it is disturbed
does sleep become a subject of conscious thought and a problem.

21. Science and technology have ( 1 ) our lives over the past 150
years. And there is every ( 2 ), given the correct ( 3 ) framework,
that they will do the same over the next 150. The ( 4 ) of scientific
knowledge has ( 5 ) us to control some of the risks of life and ( 6 )

22. Not only does our technology provide us with an enormous expansion
of the scope of our physical selves, but it also expands our mental
capabilities by greatly improving upon our abilities to perform many
routine tasks.
23. If we are to build an environmentally sustainable economy, we have
to go beyond traditional economic indicators of progress. If we put a
computer in every home in the next century but also wipe out half of the
world's plant and animal species, that would hardly be an economic success.
24. All learning implies memory. If we remembered nothing from our
experiences we could learn nothing. Life would consist of momentary
experiences that had little relation to one another. We could not even
carry on a simple conversation. To communicate, you must ( ) the
thought you want to express as well as what has just been said to you.

26. We will never run out of things to discover－an encouraging fact
since the process of discovery is the driving force of economic growth.
If we ever reached a point at which there were no new discoveries, then
resource scarcity would bring economic progress to a halt.
27. Communications technology itself is neutral. If television and
instant global communications had existed in the 1930s, they would have
been used to great effect by Nazi propagandists to promote fascist rather
than democratic ideas.
28. We not only tend to avoid people who make us feel guilty, we also
tend to“project”our own feelings of guilt, so that the victim becomes
transformed into an accuser whom we then hate for accusing us. It is a
well-known psychological mechanism in unhappy marriages, and it can
equally well color relationships between nations and peoples.

29. One reason we ( 1 ) so often on ( 2 ) to ( 3 ) the line is because
( 4 ) are so many different ways to ( 5 ) objects and images. Thus, we
usually classify them in ( 6 ) of how they ( 7 ) and serve our individual
or cultural ( 8 ). An individual horse, for example, can be ( 9 ) in
quite a number of ways that are not all ( 10 ) biologically based.

30. It was not until the formation of a U.S. agency in charge of
national parks in 1916 that the concept of managing parks so as to
maintain their natural qualities was accepted.
31. It's not what happens to you in life, but how you deal with it,
that makes you a survivor and a winner. It's that ability to adapt and
even to thrive while shedding one skin for another that keeps our minds
supple and our souls vital. It makes us interesting to be around, gives
us energy and purpose.
32. We believe ourselves to represent the pinnacle of intelligence
in the animal kingdom. But this intelligence seems sadly inadequate to
handle many of the problems that our own society continues to confront
us with.

33. Almost all mechanical ( 1 ) on earth, from clocks to
hydroelectric dams, rely on ( 2 ) for their operation. So does life.
Gravity ( 3 ) our height and shape and keeps us from falling off the
( 4 ) of the earth. “We are children of gravity,”says a ( 5 )
scientist. “As we age, we reach a point when we begin to ( 6 ) to it.
Sagging skin and ( 7 ), arthritis, failing hearts ― these all come
from the lost ( 8 ) against gravity. Gravity guided the evolutionary

shape of our bodies.”

34. People who obey the rules will act in a way that helps, or at least,
does not harm, society.
35. Some social critics believe that television has come to dominate
family life because today's parents are too selfish to take time and
effort that reading aloud or playing games or even just talking to each
other would require.
36. In a society in which obesity is the principal nutritional disease,
one easily forgets the horrible things that lack of food and drink can do

37. Americans take it ( 1 ) granted that a private enterprise system

38. In our own century we have experienced on the one hand two
devastating world wars, and on the other, an enormous growth in knowledge
of other cultures resulting in a general acceptance of cultural diversity.
All this has shaken the common confidence with which people once thought
they knew what they ought to believe about how the world worked, what our
place was in the world, and what kinds of conduct were acceptable and what
were not.
39. A system of government that merely grants the general public the
opportunity to accept decisions taken by the elite groups that dominate
the society can hardly be termed a democracy.
40. Various human abilities and qualities can be achieved only in
an environment in which they can flourish. They cannot be taught by
forceful means. What is true of physical growth is also quite generally
true of human maturation and learning.

41. Here is a great argument in ( 1 ) of foreign travel and learning

42. To be sure, the fact that children are likely to choose watching
television over having a story read aloud to them, or playing with a
stamp collection, or going out for a walk in the park does not mean that
watching television is actually more entertaining or gratifying than any
of these activities. It does mean, however, that watching television is
easier.
43. The confidence of earlier world views has been shaken by various
historical developments; however, the philosophical issue concerns whether,
despite all that, it is still correct to assume that certain common
beliefs are absolute. That is to say, we still hold on to the idea that
in many different areas of human inquiry, whether in science, art,
morality or religion, there is such a thing as ultimate truth.
44. At the age of fifty, and with a dozen or so books published, it
does not seem tautologous to say that I write because I am a writer. To
stop writing, not to write, is now unthinkable－or perhaps it is the
secret fear to assuage which one goes on writing. My sense of my own
identity is so intimately connected with my writing that if I ceased to
write I should become, in Orwellian language, an unperson to myself.

46. Are we really much happier in our modern technological world with
all its newfound knowledge than our ancestors who knew nothing of these
things?
47. More and more psychological researchers seem to be suggesting
one unexpected theory: parents do not have nearly as much influence over
their children as we both hope and fear they have.
48. If an extremely suspicious person believes that the FBI is spying
on and persecuting him, no amount of logical argument will dissuade him.
His convictions are as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar. A conviction about

himself as inferior is as unimpressed by facts as is the overly suspicious.

54. No observation is more common than that of the child separated for

55. Plants are, in many ways, much more successful organisms than
animals. They were the first to colonise the land on this planet. Even
today, they can thrive in places where no animal can exist for any length
of time. They grow much bigger than any animal and they live much longer.
And animals are totally dependent upon them.
56. Justice was bought and sold, denied and delayed as much in

58. Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the
normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or
different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the
way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.
59. That a man's business, be it of any kind, must be done, and done
promptly, is a truth acknowledged universally, though sadly not always
universally followed.
60. Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes,
will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when
all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people
might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With
almost the whole of Western Europe belonging to the European Union and
the increasing standardization that this entails, plus the much greater
rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem some truth in this－at
least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the
greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before
that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of
animal from themselves.

62. This view of the future, fueled by exciting advances in technology,
is particularly common in the information industry. It reflects a new
conception of the human species, one in which human societies are seen as
free of dependence on the natural world. Our information-based economy is
thought capable of evolving independently of the Earth's ecosystem.
63. Our senses have been vastly extended by our technology, both
ancient and modern. Our sight has been aided and enormously increased
in power by spectacles, mirrors, telescopes, microscopes of all kinds,
and by video-cameras, television, and the like.
64. In most families, television is always there as an easy and safe
competitor. When another activity is proposed, it had better be really
special; otherwise it is in danger of being rejected. The parents who
have unsuccessfully proposed a game or a story end up feeling rejected
as well. They are unaware that television is still affecting their
children's enjoyment of other activities, even when the set is off.

66. As one gets older the possibilities of pleasure and achievement
inevitably narrow. My eyesight and hearing is deteriorating, my joints
stiffen. I shall probably never learn, now, to ski or to windsurf or to
play a musical instrument or to speak a foreign language fluently. But
there is no reason why I should not go on writing, perhaps even improving
as a writer, into old age.
67. My desire to be a writer goes back a long way. The first serious
notion of a career that I can recall was that of journalist, when I was
about ten or eleven. Since my main interest in life then was sport, I
had fantasies of being a sports journalist, and conscientiously practised
writing reports of the professional football matches that I attended in
South East London.
68. Creative or imaginative writing is usually valued above critical
writing, and rightly so. It is more difficult to excel in it, it is
riskier, it is more unpredictable. To write a novel is to fill a hole
that nobody, including oneself, was aware of until the book came into
existence.

69. Economists speak of labour as being one of the“factors”of

70. First there was nothing there; then, a year or two (or three)
later, there is something－a book, a whole little world of imagined
people and their interlocking fortunes. When it is finished, it seems
inconceivable that it should never have existed, yet when you ( ) it
you could never have predicted how it would turn out, or even been
certain that you would be able to finish it.

71. One must be prepared to wait; to ponder, and re-read, and re-write
what one has written, until one sees the way ahead that satisfies one's
own criteria of coherence, complexity, authenticity. That is what makes
writing such an exhausting and stressful process－and, when it comes
out right, such an exhilarating one.
72. Because life began in the sea, all living beings are walking

73. Even writing the shortest book review entails the same process of

Texts are not merely remembered, they are recreated every time they are
