First Periodical Exam

Name:
Year and Section:
I. Directions: Read the text carefully and answer the question that follow. Write the
letter of the correct answer before the number.
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, but to
weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some
few to be chewed and digested; that is some books are to be read only in parts;
others to be read but not curiously and some few to be read wholly and with
diligence and attention. Some books also maybe, read by deputy and extracts made
of them by others; but would be only in the less important arguments and the meaner
sort of books; else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.
Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an extract man;
therefore, if a man writes little he needs have a great memory; if he confers little he
need have present with and if he reads little he needs have much cunning to seem to
know that he doth not. History makes men wise; poets witty; the mathematics,
subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend;
