　　Passage 4

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

　　“I have considered the structure of all volant animals, and find the folding continuity of the bat’s wings most easily accommodated to the human form. Upon this model I shall begin my task tomorrow, and in a year expect to tower into the air beyond the malice or pursuit of man. But I will work only on this condition,　that the art shall not be divulged, and that you shall not require me to make wings for any but ourselves.”

　　“Why,” said Rasselas.“should you envy others so great an advantage? All skill　ought to be exerted for universal good; every man has owed much to others, and　ought to repay the kindness that he has received.” “If men were all virtuous,” returned the artist.“I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But, what would be the security of the good, if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an army sailing through the clouds neither wall, nor mountains, nor seas, could afford any security. A flight of northern savages might　hover in the wind, and light at once with irresistible violence upon the capital of a fruitful region that was rolling under them. Even this valley, the retreat of princes, the abode of happiness, might be violated by the sudden descent of　some of the naked nations that swarm on the coast of the southern sea.”

　　A) helping othersB) military victory
