The ramifications which bring to the nation are 【C6】_____, and will become more so in the years to 【C7】_____. Those ramifications are already being felt in the cultural marketplace. A first work of fiction, if it has any luck at all, will 【C8】_____ perhaps 3,000 copies. Publishers and authors know not to expect much better than that, 【C9】_____ a record album recently released has sold 3.5 million copies.
【C10】_____ the problem is that we live in a(n) 【C11】_____ age. To listen to a record album requires nothing of the cultural consumer, 【C12】_____his mere presence.

In the past, this was taken 【C17】_____ granted as an important part of life. But 【C18】_____, in the day of the "information 【C19】_____ system", such a reverence is not being placed on the reading, and then, 【C20】____of books. [br] 【C19】
