Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Books are by far, the most lasting product of human effort. Temples crumble into ruins. Pictures and statues decay, but books survive. Time does not destroy the great thoughts which are as fresh today as when they first passed through the author's mind ages ago. The only effect of time has been to throw out the bad products, for nothing in literature can survive long unless it is really good and of lasting value. Books introduce us to the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived, we hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive, we sympathize with them, enjoy with them and grieve with them.
