2. Read the following passage and answer the
questions given below: The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind and we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. A borrowed book is like a guest in the house. It must be treated with a certain considerate formality. You must see that it sustains no damage; it must not suffer under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it,
LQ (Turn over) and you cannot turn down the pages. And then, some day, although this is seldom done, you really ought to return it.
But your own books belong to you; you treat them with affectionate intimacy. Books are for use, not for show; you should own no book that you are afraid to mark up, or afraid to place on the
.table, wide open and face down. A good reason for marking favourite passages in book is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings.
Everyone should begin collecting a private library in youth; the instinct of private property, which is fundamental in human beings, can here be cultivated with every advantage and no evils. One should have one's own book shelf, which should not have doors, glass windows or keys; they should be free and accessible to the hand as well as to the eye. Most of my indoor life is spent in our room containing six thousand books;

and I have a stock answer to the invariable question that comes from strangers. 'Have you read all of these books T'Some of them twice.' This reply is both true and unexpected.
There are of course no friends like living,. breathing men and weimen ;my devotion to reading has never made me a recluse. How could it
LQ Contd.
Books are of the people, by the people, for the people. But book-friends have this advantage over living friends; you can enjoy the most truly aristocratic society in the world whenever you want. The great dead are beyond our physical reach, and the great living are usually almost as inaccessible. As for our personal friends and acquaintances, we cannot always see them. But in a private library you can at any moment converse with Socrates of Shakespeare or Dickens or Shaw. They wrote for you and did their best to entertain you. You are necessary to them as an audience is to an actor; only instead of seeing them masked, you look into their hearts.

computer? Behind all such questions there is mistaken idea aboutthe purpose of education and about standards ofvalue. The primary purpose of . education is not utilitarian. The main function of education is not to give training for a job, but to
produce balanced citizens, not human sponges, to make better and wiser and happier citizens. The greatest writers are continually concerned with these universal problems. The reading of great literature is valuable in itself and needs no apology or explanation that it is delightful, at the same time educational.
