as drama, documentaries and discussions. When television arrived, many people believed that it would
finish the book off. Nowadays, (27) the threat by TV, the book is thought to be endangered by
computers and the Internet, and by other technological attractions (28) theCD and the video game, too.
Surely there are now reasons why (29) book ought to be dead, or at least very badly injured. If so, why
does it not show proper respect for these reportedly less literate times (30) die out? There
is clearly more than a single answer to this question. Firstly, we have more leisure time than
we(31) to, and people are generally living longer, which means there is more time to do more
(including reading books). As (32) as this, there is the strength of the book as a tradition. We are all
too dismissive of traditions in our modern world, but they can have very strong pull(33) us.
Added to this, the book is such a practical tool: it doesn't cost too (34) , it is usually small enough to
carry around, and it can easily be (35) . We will never go without books, because they have served us
so well for so long.
