A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of
reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of
news from local crime to international politics , from sprort
to business, from fashion to science, and the range of comment
and special features as well. A news paper is even though more ___1___
remarkable for the way one reads it: never complete, never ___2___
straight through, but always by jumping from here to there,
in and out glancing at one piece, reading other article all the way ___3___
through, reading just a few parargraphs of the next. A good
modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different
readers, but far more than any one reader is inerested in. That ___4___
brings this variety together in one place is its topicality, whose ___5___
immediate relation to what is happening in your worldand
your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that
go with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper ___6___
has no more than transient value. For all these reasons, not two ___7___
people really read the same paper: what each person does is to
put together out of pages of that day's paper, his own selection ___8___
and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading
newspaper efficiently, which means getting what you want from
them without missing things you need but with wasting time, ___9___
demeeand skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the ___10___
techniques of reading.

Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous
ages in knoeledge, there has been not corresponding increase in ___1___
wisdom. But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define "wisdon"
and consider means of promoting them. There are several factors ___2___
that contribute to wisdon. Of there I should put first a sense of
promotion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors
in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become
more difficult than it used to owing to the extent and complexity of the ___3___
special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for
example, that you are engaging in research in scientific medicine. The ___4___
work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You
have no time to consider the effect what your discoveries or inventions ___5___
may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as
modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lower the infant ___6___
death rate, not only in the Europe and America, but also in Asia and ___7___
Africa. This has the little entirely unintended result of making the food
supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the
world that has the greatest populations. ___8___
Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom
becomes less necessary, for every such increase augments（增强）our ___9___
capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity
for evil, unless our purposes are unwise.___10___
