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)______

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

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)______
