man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps.
A good book may be among the best of human's friends. 1 It is the most patient and cheerful companion. It does not turn its back upon us in times of hardship or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness.
Men often discover their similarity to each other by the common love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. 2 But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me,love my book. " The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think,feel,and sympathize with each other through their favorite author.
A good book is often the best container of a life enshrining (珍藏) the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is,for the most part,but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words,the golden thoughts,which become our constant companions and comforters.
3 They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay,but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts,which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds,ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed pages.
Books introduce us into the best society. They bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; 4 we sympathize with them,enjoy with them,grieve with them; their experience becomes ours.
The great and good do not die,even in this world. Embalmed in books,their spirits walk abroad. 5 It is an intellect to which one still listens.
A. we see them as if they were really alive;
B. There is an old proverb, "Love me,love my dog."
C. Books possess an essence of immortality.
D. One should always live in the best company,whether it be of books or of men.
E. The book is a living voice.
F. It is the same today that it always was,and it will never change.
G. It amuses and instructs us in youth,and comforts and consoles us in age. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
