B When my wife and I hired some painters to freshen up several rooms of our home, one of the men was surprised by what he found. “This guy is old school. There are books everywhere. ” I am, I have to admit. I love old books, which puts me in the company of a long line of readers who often prefer them. “I am not much taken by the new books, ” Michel de Montaigne declared in the 16th century. “The old ones seem to have more meat and sinew （筋）. ”That quote is in a cheap copy of his es­ says that I picked up in 1986, the start of my adventures in secondhand literature. Alone in a new city to take my first daily newspaper job, I was feeling anxious as I dipped into a used bookstore to comfort my mind. The musty（发霉的）shelves ，rich recalling of the past， quickly calmed me. With their yellowed pages, the torn titles in the shop usefully pointed me to­ ward the longer view in my occupation as a journalist. “No need to get too worked up over today's fashion or headline, ”they seemed to say. “There is not much new under the sun. ” When I get a little down, the volume of Francis Bacon's essays is always a ready cure: “Pros­ perity is not without many fears and distastes, ” Bacon wrote, and “adversity not without many comforts and hopes. ”For me, that comfort and hope often come from a secondhand book. Sometimes, what the previous owners have written in the empty space is at least as instructive as what the authors have to say. In my worn copy of Virginia Woolf's, an earlier reader had frequently penciled “integrity” to describe Woolf's vision, which made me feel that my own enthusiasm for her had been confirmed. 24. What could be inferred from Montaigne's words? A. He is not a vegetarian. B. He enjoys carrying old books. C. Old books have endless aftertastes. D. Old books can start an eating adventure. 25. How do Francis Bacon's essays help the author? A. They inspire the author. B. They cure the author's illness. C. They reduce the author's adversity. D. They guarantee the author success. 26. What can we lean about the author from the last paragraph? A. He showed little respect for Woolf. B. He was familiar with earlier readers. C. He penciled some comments on the book. D. He got educated from the notes in old books. 27. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Books are the experience of the past. B. Books are the only things that never die. C. Old wood is best to burn, old book to read. D. A room without books is like a body without soul. C Thirteen years ago Dr Angela Zilener, of the University of Zurich, was diving in the Red Sea when she
