  Paragraph 1 
  It was a dark autumn night. An old banker was pacing back and forth in his study, 1[recalling] a party from fifteen years 2[earlier]. 3[At one point] at that party, he and his guests began debating 4[which would be the worse fate]: the death penalty or life imprisonment. The banker believed 5[that] 6[being locked away for life] was a 7[much] crueler punishment, so he argued that he would choose death 8[without hesitation].

  As time wore on, the lawyer realized that material pleasures could not fill the emptiness in his heart. 20[As a result], he turned away from entertainment and searched deeper for other sources of support and company. Books became his companions and his means of mental escape. Then, 21[from the sixth year on], he showed a huge 22[appetite for] inner growth and self-discipline, devouring everything from history to philosophy around the clock.
