4、 of a superior, the latter of an inferior. And when he has received a benefit, he is apt to confer a greater in return; for thus his creditor will become his debtor and be in the position of a recipient of his favour. It is characteristic of the high-minded man, again never or reluctantly to ask fav
5、ours, but to be ready to confer them, and to be lofty in his behaviour to those who are high in station and favoured by fortune, but affable to those of the middle ranks; for it is a difficult thing and a dignified thing to assert superiority over the former, but easy to assert it over the latter.

11、stions-Ben Buchanan made absolutely sure his schedule would be clear this week. Like millions of Americans, the Texas teen is devouring the 672 pages of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth book in the uberpopular series by J. K. Rowling. And thats quite a feat in Buchanans case. When h
12、e got the first Harry Potter book as a Christmas present back in 1998, he was struggling with dyslexia. “I just thought it would be another book I wouldnt like, “ says Buchanan, who was ready to toss it out with the wrapping paper. Then his mom read the first chapter aloud to him, and he was determi
13、ned to conquer his first “real“ book. As the world eagerly cracks open the newest volume, whose initial U. S. run of 10. 8 million copies is a publishing record, the true mystery isnt the identity of the royal figure in the title. Its what impact these books are having on kids. Are they converting n
14、onreaders like Buchanan? Are they capable of helping other books defeat TV and video games in the battle for childrens free time? More than 100 million of Rowlings books are in print in the United States alone, and everyone has heard anecdotes about kids fervently reading and rereading each title. B
15、ut whether all of this hype of countdowns and midnight trips to bookstores translates into a lifelong reading habit remains unclear. If our society ever needed a reading renaissance, its now. The National Endowment for the Arts released “Reading at Risk“ last year, a study showing that adult reading
16、 rates have dropped 10 percentage points in the past decade, with the steepest slump among those 18 to 24. “Only one half of young people in that age bracket read a book of any kind including Harry Potter in 2002. We set the bar almost on the ground. If you read one short story in a teen magazine, t
17、hat would have counted, “ laments Mark Bauerlein, the NEAs director of research and analysis. He attributes the loss of readers to the booming world of technology, which woos would-be leisure readers to iPods, E-mail, IM chats, and video games and leaves them with no time to curl up with a novel. Th
18、ese new forms of media undoubtedly have some benefits, says Steven Johnson, author of Everything Bad Is Good for You . Video games improve problem-solving skills; TV shows promote mental gymnastics by forcing viewers to follow intertwining story lines. But books offer experience that cant be gained
19、from these other sources, from building vocabulary to stretching the imagination. “If theyre not reading at all, “ says Johnson, “thats a huge problem. “In fact, fewer kids are reading for pleasure. According to data released last week from the National Center for Educational Statisticss long-term t
20、rend assessment, the number of 17-year-olds who reported never or hardly ever reading for fun rose from 9 percent in 1984 to 19 percent in 2004. At the same time, the percentage of 17-year-olds who read daily dropped from 31 to 22. This slow but steady retreat from books has not yet taken a toll on
21、reading ability. Scores for the nations youth have remained constant Over the past two decades (with an encouraging upswing among 9-year-olds). But given the strong apparent correlation between pleasure reading and reading skills, this bodes poorly for the future. Thats why many educators are hoping
22、 the Harry Potter series can work some magic. Spellbound. “Its broken the rules, “ says Cathy Denman, a middle school media specialist in Florida who chairs the young adult booklist for the International Reading Association (IRA), an organization for literacy professionals. “Kids who hadnt picked up
23、 a book in years unless theyd been forced to were reading the series and then asking me for more books like it. For the first time for them, a book was as exciting as a video game. “ Although there have been no comprehensive studies of the effect of the books in the United States, the U. K. -based F
24、ederation of Childrens Book Groups just released figures showing that 59 percent of U. K. kids think the books have improved their reading skills and 48 percent say the books are why they read more. Part of the allure is the thrilling story, with well-developed characters and an avalanche of magical
25、 moments. Thats what ensnared precocious readers like 12-year-old Hannah Bredar of Washington, D. C. , who tackled the first book when she was just 5. “I love that Harry lives in two worlds, one with Muggles and one with wizards and witches, and has to go between the two, “ she analyzes.四、SECTION B(
