There are lots of places for you to spend your spare time．But I think time spent in a   1   can be most enjoyable,   2   you are a book lover or only there to   3   a book as a present．You may have   4   the shop just to keep yourself from a sudden rain．Whatever the   5   is, you can be pushed into   6   world at   7   and keep out all your   8   and sufferings, noticing   9   around you．The temptation to   10   up a good and useful book is   11   strong to resist．Soon you   12   yourself in   13   book or other, and usually it is only much   14   that you realize you have   15   far too much time   16   those books and must rush off to attend some forgotten meeting, without   17   a book, of course.

    You have to be   18   not to be kept in front of various books in a bookshop．It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a   19   of the latest best-selling novel．The book on the subject, however,   20   to be so interesting that you just had to buy it．When you left the shop you would find there was little money in you pockets.

    The most important diamonds are    1    we never see-the diamonds used in industry． Their value lies in their hardness, not their beauty, and in the thousands of   2   they do．

    Industrial diamonds make the needles for hifi phonographs (唱机)． Diamonds cut    3    solid rock in search of oil． Dentists use diamonds too often    4    a powder glued(粘合) to paper or a wheel．Other diamond wheels cut and    5    stones and cut metal parts for all kinds of engines．They are    6    used to make wheels for grinding(磨光) and polishing(擦亮)metals．

  Most marvelous of all    7    the diamond dies． These are flat diamonds through which small    8    have been drilled(钻空)．When metal is    9    through the small hole in the diamond, it comes out as thin wire．

    Cars, airplanes, nails, tin cans, radios, refrigerators, and most electrical 10 could not be made without using industrial diamonds．
