and ideas may be preserved intactly despite the passage of time or the ef- (2)______
fects of wars and atural disasters.

learning, books have long been valued for the pleasure and en
tertainment they provide for. In early times, books consisted of (4)______

terials. Modern books consist of printed pages bound between protective
covers. The earliest survived works that may be classified as books were (6)______
produced in Egypt and Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) about 5,000 years ago.
The wedge-shape letters characteristic of cuneiform script was pressed into (7)______
the damp clay. Gradually papyrus scrolls replaced the clay tablets because

characters. Papyrus scrolls were made of flat strips cut from the stem of the (8)______
papyrus plant. The strips were pasted together to form long sheets. A stick
was attached to each end of the sheet, which was then wounded up to form (9)______
a scroll. The papyrus could be easily carried and stored, and it was poor for (10)______
preserving records. Eventually parchment (the specially prepared skill of an
animal, usually a sheep or a goat) replaced papyrus as a writing material.
