The humanities are not a mere device but a form of knowledge. They indicate the human (1)achievement of the language, literature, history, philosophy, art and politices, etc. So the humanities are useful both in the cultural (2)sense and in the academic one and are intimate and permanent. They exert great (3)influence on our life and are indispensable to the development of the society. They give shape and color to the world. (4)Without the humanities we would be astonished to find that the colorful world would turn into (5)something bleak, dark, soundless, empty of any meaning(6) beyond \\ except that of physical needs and mechanical products. The humanities are not (7)interested in proofs or in statistics, in place of proof they give clarity, and in place of averages they give uniqueness.
However, the humanities have some limitations. On the (8)surface, they appear more individual than social, more self-indulgent than unselfish. People have an unreasonable (9)liking for simple satisfaction of their own (10)choosing. Sometimes the humanities (11)gratify such foolish requests, giving more (12)temptations to our eye, ear and mind, even adding moral harm.
But (13)despite these limitations and some skepticism about them in the modern world, the humanities are not a Cinderella who can be (14)neglected or disregarded. They are not a temporary or passing (15)phenomenon. Instead, the humanities are (16)ingrained in society. They are poor in wealth but rich in (17)intellectual capital. They are the treasure of human culture. They (18)explore man’s spiritual world, study human nature, (19)concern themselves with human interests and make our life colorful. They give us greater (20)insight into man’s role in nature as well as the societies that he has created. The humanities, which can help us to understand and explain the (21)reasons for our actions, are a form of knowledge that is (22)acquired through the study of man’s spiritual creations. With this knowledge the individual can come into (23)possession of his or her full powers. So they are an essential (24)part of knowledge of any person who wants to come to (25)terms with life. 5
