came 61 (read) them. The old reading rooms were 62 (crowd). The air was bad and readers got terrible headaches. The librarian, Panizzi, wanted poor students, as 63 as rich men, to be able to learn. He got a free copy of every new book for the British Museum. Soon, there were three rows 64 books on every shelf and hundreds of books on the floor. Something cheerful happened. Panizzi 65 (he) designed the famous round Reading Room, with a beautiful high roof and forty kilometers of 66 (bookshelf). Some of the equipment was unusual. Cool air came up through small holes in the tables. Hot air in tubes under the floor kept readers’ feet warm. When the new Reading Room opened, there was a party with drinks 67 a large breakfast on the desks. You can imagine 68 wonderful the new Reading Room is! Since then, many famous men 69 (write) there.
