Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, "Love me, love my dog." But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me, love my book." The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them. A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good. Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe. The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.

In each numbered line of the following passage, there is an extra word. Identify the word and write it down on your Answer Sheet. You need not look for any error in the unnumbered line.(10 points) We are offered a key to the character of Socrates by the wonderful【R1】phenomenon about which he calls his daemon. In exceptional circumstances,【R2】when his gigantic intellect begins to fail in him, he receives a secure support【R3】in the utterances of a divine voice which manifests itself up at such moments.【R4】This voice, whenever so it comes, always dissuades. In this utterly abnormal【R5】nature instinctive wisdom not only appears in order to hinder here and there the【R6】progress of conscious perception. Whereas in all productive men who it is【R7】instinct that is the creatively affirmative force, and consciousness in that acts【R8】critically and dissuasivery; with Socrates it is instinct that which becomes critic,【R9】and consciousness of that becomes creator—a perfect monstrosity per defectum!【R10】And we do indeed observe here upon a monstrous defectus of all mystical aptitude so that Socrates might be called...
