The National Endowment for the Arts recently released the
the results of its "Reading at Risk" survey, which described
movement of the American public away from books and
literature and toward television and electronic media. 62.__________
According to the survey. "reading is on the decline on every
region, within every ethnic group, and at every educational level."
The day the NEA report released, the U.S. House, in a tie 63.___________
vote, upheld the government's right to obtain bookstore and
library records under a provision of the USA Patriot Act. The
House proposal would have barred the federal government 64.___________
from demand library records, reading lists, book customer
lists and other material in terrorism and intelligence investigations. 65.___________
These two events are completely unrelated to, yet they
echo each other in the message they send about the place of
books and reading in American culture. At the heart 66.__________
of the NEA survey is the belief in our democratic
system depends on leaders who can think critically, analyze 67.__________
texts and writing clearly. All of these are skills promoted by
reading and discussing books and literature. At the same time,
through a provision of the Patriot Act, the leaders of our
country are unconsciously sending the message that reading 68._________
may be connected to desirable activities that might
undermine our system of government rather than helping
democracy flourish. 69._________
Our culture's decline in reading begin well before the
existence of the Patriot Act. During the 1980s' culture wars,
school systems across the country pulled some books from 70.__________
library shelves because its content was deemed by parents
and teachers to be inappropriate. Now what started in schools 71.________
across the country is playing itself out on a nation stage and
is possibly having an impact on the reading habits of the
American public.
