　It is true that paper cannot last long．But is there any 　1　that would last as long as 　2　and as easy to write 　3　as paper? The Babylonians 　4　just such a material．Recently an Englishman 　5　 a large library of a king of the Babylonia, whose 　6　were made of clay (粘土)．

　This is the 　7　 these books were made．They 　8　made a sheet of clay of the proper 　9　 and thickness, and 　10　 on it with a sharp stick．These books of clay, 　11　 they had been dried and 　12　in an oven (炉灶), could last 　13　 as long as stone．Such books will not 　14　up in a fire 　15　 be spoiled (损坏) by wetness; nor will they be 　16　 by mice or rats．It is true that they colud be 　17　, but the pieces can be gathered up and 　18　together．The Englishman 　19　to work a long time with broken sheets discovered there before he 　20　 them all put together properly．

　There were 30,000 sheets in library．Every book was made 　21　 many sheets, as our books have many 　22　．It was, of course, impossible to 　23　them together as we 　24　now with our books．So all the clay sheets had to be 　25　and the name of the book placed on every one．
