Task 1. Complete
the sentences by changing the form of the word in capitals
.

The sense of beauty has a
more important place in life than aesthetic theory has ever taken in
philosophy. The plastic arts, with poetry and music, are the most conspicuous
monuments of this human interest, because they appeal only to 1) ________ (CONTEMPLATE)
, and yet have attracted to their service, in all civilized ages, an amount of
effort, genius, and honour, little inferior to that given to industry, war, or
religion. The fine arts, however, where aesthetic feeling appears almost pure,
are by no means the only sphere in which men show their susceptibility to
beauty. In all products of human industry we notice the 2) ________ (KEEN)
with which the eye is attracted to the mere 3) ________ (APPEAR) of
things: great sacrifices of time and labour are made to it in the most vulgar
manufactures; nor does man select his dwelling, his clothes, or his companions
without 4) ________ (REFER) to their effect on his aesthetic senses. Of
late we have even learned that the forms of many animals are due to the 5)
________ (SURVIVE) by selection  of the colours and forms most  6)
________ (ATTRACT) to the eye. There must therefore be in our nature a
very radical and wide-spread tendency to observe beauty, and to value it. No
account of the principles of the mind can be all adequate that passes over so
conspicuous a faculty.

The aesthetic theory has
received so little attention from the world is not due to the 7) ________ (IMPORTANT)
of the subject of which it treats, but rather to lack of an adequate motive for
speculating upon it, and to the small success of the 8) ________ (OCCASION)
efforts to deal with it. Absolute 9) ________ (CURIOUS), and love of
comprehension for its own sake, are not passions we have much leisure to
indulge: they require not only 10) _______ (FREE) from affairs but, what
is more rare, from prepossessions and from the hatred of all ideas that do not
make for the 11) ________ (HABIT) goal of our thought.

Now, what has chiefly
maintained such 12) ________ (SPECULATE) as the world has seen has been
either 13) ________ (THEOLOGY) passion or practical use.

All we find, for example,
written about beauty may be divided into two groups: that group of writings in
which philosophers have interpreted aesthetic facts in the light of their
metaphysical principles, and made of their theory of taste a corollary or
footnote to their systems; and that group in which artists and critics have
ventured into philosophic ground, by generalizing somewhat the maxims of the
craft or the comments of the sensitive observer. A 14) ________ (TREAT)
of the subject at once direct and theoretic has been very rare: the problems of
nature and morals have attracted the reasoners, and the description and
creation of beauty have absorbed the artists between the two reflection upon
aesthetic experience has remained abortive of 15) ________ (COHERENT).
