It is a winter’s evening in Tokyo. In a four-roomed house in one of the western suburbs a
family sits after supper ①(enjoy) the glow from an electric foot-warmer, ②(know) as a
kotatsu, sunk in the centre of the floor. Over the shallow square pit that contains the
heater is a low table. Over the table is a large quilt, perhaps twice as large as the table.
Round the table, sitting on cushions on the floor with their stockinged feet hanging into the
pit and with the quilt covering their knees, sit four people of different ages. They are old
Mrs. Saito, her son, her daughter-in-law, and favourite grandchild, a young man in his
twenty-first year. This young man, Saito Mamoru, is lecturing his elders on the aims and
ideals of the Chinese Communist Party.
Old Mrs. Saito, now ③(approach) eighty, can scarcely follow them but she senses that his
remarks are both dangerous and wicked, and she becomes increasingly restless and
④(disapprove). His father, Saito Terao, is more sympathetic, but as he dislikes seeing the
old lady ⑤(provoke) he will soon take her side and tell his son to stop talking.

they are not smart.

(Ａ
) words must have been our first words when the world was (Ｂ
). The minds
of men were raw, like a child’s. Men’s needs were few and so their thoughts were (Ｃ
).
Life for a man was in the main a hunt for food, a fight with foes, a quest for a mate, and a
search for a place to rest (Ｄ
) from the storm and (Ｅ
) beasts. And their first words
were mere grunts or growls, barks, whines, squeals like those of the beasts. ①These rough,
strange sounds were made to show how they felt. They meant joy or pain or doubt or rage
or fear－things like that. But these sounds came, in time, to grow more and more plain as
real words. They were short words, strong and clear. And these first short words, used by
our ancestors, way back in the mists of time, still have strength and truth. ②They are bred
in our flesh and bone. We may well call such words the lifeblood of our speech.

I met, not long ago, a young man who aspired to become a novelist. Knowing that I was
in the profession, ①he asked me to tell him how he should set to work to realize his ambition.
I did my best to explain. ②“The first thing,” I said, “is to buy quite a lot of paper, a bottle of
ink, and a pen. After that you merely have to write.” But this was not enough for my
young friend. He seemed to have a notion that there was some sort of almighty cookbook,
full of literary recipes, which you had only to follow attentively to become a great novelist
like Dickens, Henry James, or Flaubert―“according to taste,” as the authors of recipes say,
when they come to the question of seasoning and sweetening. ③Wouldn’t I let him have a
glimpse of this cookbook? ④I said that I was sorry, but that (unhappily―for what an
endless amount of time and trouble it would save!) I had never even seen such a work. He
seemed sadly disappointed; so, to console the poor boy, ⑤I advised him to apply to the
professors of drama and short-story writing at some reputable university; if any one
possessed a trustworthy cookbook of literature, it should surely be they.
