问题     Art, said Picasso, is a lie that makes us realize the truth. So is a map. We do not usually【B1】______the precise work of the mapmaker with a【B2】______object of art. Yet a map has many qualities that a painting or a poem has. It is truth realized in a【B3】______way, holding meanings it does not express on the surface. And like work of art, it requires【B4】______reading.
    Thus, map and reality are not, and cannot be,【B5】______. No aspect of map use is so obvious  yet so often【B6】______. Most map reading mistakes occur because the user forgets this【B7】______fact and expect a one-to-one【B8】______between map and reality.
    【B9】______. To understand a painting, you must have some idea of the medium which was used by the artist. You wouldn’t expect a water color to look anything like an oil painting or a charcoal drawing, even if the subject matter of all three were the same.【B10】______. As a map-reader, you should always be aware of the invisible hand of the mapmaker.【B11】______. The mapmaker translates  reality into tile clearest possible picture under the circumstances, and the map-reader converts this picture back into an impression of the environment. For such communication to take place, tile map-reader  as well as the mapmaker must know something about how maps are created.
【B9】
