It is reported that the French culture minister, Fleur Pellerin, had not read any of Nobel prizewinner Patrick Modiano’ s novels. This revelation has met 【C1】______dismay in France. But then, how many of us really have time to read anymore?
A survey found that almost 4 million British adults never read books 【C2】______pleasure, and as in Pellerin’ s case, a lack of time was the dominant factor. In Britain, these people are working more than 48 hours a week, with one 【C3】______25 men working more than 60 hours a week. Men generally read 【C4】______ than women, and our long hours culture is undoubtedly a factor. The man I live with is usually 【C5】______exhausted to read more than a couple of pages in the evening. 【C6】______, he stores up the things he wants to read, then indulges in reading 【C7】______his time off. Yet if we 【C8】______our holidays hungrily reading, doesn’ t it show that we 【C9】______want to read, and learn fictional worlds?
It’ s a question of time, we say. Yet we make time for other 【C10】______: drinking, arguing, or Twittering. The internet in particular is frequently blamed for the death of the novel. It changes the 【C11】______we read: We scan from one page to the 【C12】______, trying to pick the diamonds 【C13】______the scrap. Researchers say we are developing new, digital brains that are eclipsing the deep reading circuitry that has 【C14】______over centuries. This kind of reading feeds our imaginations and in them, we create people and places and experiences. It’ s not that the internet is making us stupid, 【C15】______that we’ re losing what comes with that deep reading: immersion, relaxation, escapism.
