Books, indeed, ___us with a whole ___palace of thoughts.

The greatest advantage of books does not always come from what we remember of them, but from their【C1】______. A good book often【C2】______as a match to【C3】______the dormant power within us. There is explosive material【C4】______in most of us if we can only reach it. A good book or a good friend often excites【C5】______in great writers, even【C6】______entirely different subjects. We often find in books【C7】______we thought and felt, could we not have expressed ourselves. Indeed, we get【C8】______With ourselves in books. We【C9】______one feature in Emerson, another lineament in Shakespeare, an expression in Homer, a glimpse of ore, elves in Dante, and so on【C10】______we spell out our whole【C11】______. True, we get many pleasing【C12】______of ourselves from friends, many mirrored deformities from our enemies, and a characteristic here and there from the world; but in calm and【C13】______way we find the most of ourselves, our strength, our weakness, our limitations, our opinions, our tastes, our harmonies and【C14】______, our poetic

【C15】______qualities, in books. We【C16】______many of our opinions from our favorite books. The author【C17】______we prefer is our most potent teacher, we look at the world through his eyes. If we【C18】______read books that are elevating in tone, pure in style, sound in reasoning, and【C19】______in insight, our minds develop the same characteristics.

听力原文： As a writer, I seem to spend most of the time working in my office at home, sitting alone in front of the computer. In fact, the only people I see regularly are the members of my family, when they get home from work or school. Otherwise, I don' t have much chance to meet face-to-face with people. And I'm sorry that I haven't kept in touch with the friends I made in college. I often get letters from the readers though, and I try to get out of the house at least once a day. From time to time, I give lectures in public libraries or teach courses at colleges in North America. But if I ever run out of ideas or I start suffering from loneliness, I'll give up writing books. Then maybe I'll start a new job where I work with lots of people, and I can have a conversation whenever I feel like one.
