A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps, for there is a companionship of books as well as of men. And one should always live in the best company, whether it is of books or of men.
16.____________
Men often discover their attractions to each other by the love they have each for a book — just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both have for a third. There is an old proverb, "Love me, love my dog." But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me, love my book."
17.____________
A good book is often the best container of a life, containing 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.
18.____________
"They are never alone," said Sir Philip Sidney, "that are accompanied by noble thoughts."
The good and tree thought may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy, purifying and guarding the soul. It also preserves the seeds of action, for good words almost always inspire good works.
19.____________
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 page. The only effect of time has been to separate the bad products, for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
20.____________
We hear what they said and did. We see them as if they were really alive. We sympathize with them, enjoy with them, and sorrow with them. Their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die even in this world. Well preserved in the books, their spirits walk abroad.
[A] Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.
[B] A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not tum its back upon us in times of misfortune or suffering. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting us in age.
[C] Thus the best books are treasuries of good words and golden thoughts, which, remembered and cared about, become our lasting companions and comforters.
[D] The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of the past.
[E] The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
[F] Books introduce us into the best society. They bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived.
选项
答案
B
解析
在该题的前一段结尾处谈到“One should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.”即人必须有最好的伙伴相陪,不管是书还是人。在选项B 中头一句话便是“A good book may be among the best of friends.”上下文内容衔接,由此可 判断B为正确项。
