 Many people think a telephone is a necessity. But I think it is a pest (有害的事物) and a time waste. Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it? You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed crippling from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?

But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency―illness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity?

I think perhaps I had better try to justify (證明是有理的) myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances―if I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car as necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent: one is mechanical invention, the other literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them, for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.

     No matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity (一致) in the lists which represent the best choices of any period.

    What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.

    Great books are probably the most widely read. They are not best sellers for a year or two. They are enduring best sellers. Gone with the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.

    Great books are popular, not pedantic. They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.

Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.

Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly. Wisdom is fortified (加強(qiáng)), not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.

72. Which is NOT the criterion (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) in the following when evaluating a great book?

       A. Although not a best seller, it must be the most widely read.

       B. A great book can be read without any effort.

       C. Great books are never out of date.

       D. Great books will not disappoint you if you try to read them well.

73. According to the author, Gone With the Wind is ______.

       A. a great book                                  B. disliked by readers who like Shakespeare

       C. read more often than Don Quixote   D. a great book for only a few years

74. After reading the passage, we can infer that ______.

   A. different periods have different lists of best books because there are many books for people to choose from

   B. if you don’t read an elementary textbook, you may have difficulty in understanding an advanced one

   C. Homer Iliad must be a best seller when it came out

   D. great books often deal with unsolved problems of human life for the writers have confidence in settling them

75. The best title for this passage is ______.

       A. Great Books in Your Life        B. Great Books in Your Specialty
