读书或书籍的享受素来被视为有修养的生活上的一种雅事，而在一些不大有机会享受这种权利的人们看来，这是一种值得尊重和妒忌的事。当我们把一个不读书者和一个读书者的生活上的差异比较一下，这一点便很容易明白。那个没有养成读书习惯的人，以时间和空间而言，是受着他眼前的世界所禁锢的。可是当他拿起一本书的时候，他立刻走进一个不同的世界。如果那是一本好书，他便立刻接触到世界上一个最健谈的人。这个谈话者引导他前进，带他到一个不同的国度或不同的时代，或者对他发泄一些私人的悔恨，或者跟他讨论一些他从来不知道的学问或生活问题。

听力原文：Richard, look. I thought you might be getting worried about whether next Thursday was actually on or not. Anyway, yes, it is, so the table is reserved at 12:30 at Cavemdish Hotel where the lunch is the best in town. Well, almost.
