问题     No Englishman believes in working from book learning. He suspects
    everything new, and dislikes it, unless he can be compelled by the force of
    circumstances to see that this new thing has advantage over the old.
    Race-experience is what he invariably depends upon, when he can,              【M1】______
    whether in India, in Egypt, or in Australia.
    His statesmen do not consult historic precedents in order to decide           【M2】______
    what to do: they first learn the facts that they are; then they depend upon   【M3】______
    their own common sense, not at all upon their university learning and upon    【M4】______
    philosophical theories. And in case of the English nation, it must be         【M5】______
    acknowledged that this instinctive method has been extremely successful.
    The last people from whom praise can be expected, even for what is
    worth of all praise, are the English. The Englishman all the time is          【M6】______
    studying, considering, trying to find fault. Why should he try to find fault?
    So that he will not make any mistakes at a later day. He was inherited the    【M7】______
    trouble caution of his ancestors in regards to mistakes. It must be granted   【M8】______
    that his caution has saved him from a number of very serious mistakes
    that other nations have made. It must also be acknowledged that he exercises
    a fair amount of moderation in the opposite direction-this modern
    Englishman; he has learned caution of other kind, which his ancestors         【M9】______
    taught him. "Power should be used with moderation; for whoever finds
    himself among valiant men will discover that no man is superior than others. "【M10】______
【M5】
