”30.说完一阵咳嗽声开始从他的胸腔传了出来，他紧跟着一瘸一瘸地走到他儿子迈克尔干活的那块地去了。

31.到太阳快落山的时候，马丁已经播种了五垄地。

他把铁锹扔到地上，伸了伸胳膊和双腿。

他感到浑身骨头都疼，就想躺下休息。

他对玛丽说：“该回家了，玛丽。

”32.玛丽伸直了腰，不过她实在太累了，没有力气回答马丁的话。

她疲意地看了马丁一眼，觉得自打他俩清晨从家里出来，好像已经过了好多年了。

然后这时她又想到要走回家的路程，想 到了到家以后要喂猪，要赶鸡鸭回窝，还要做晚饭，种种家务活都等着她去干。

刹那间她脑 子里闪过一种抗拒的念头，真不愿再忍受一个农妇繁重的劳役。

但这种情绪也就一闪而过。

马丁边穿衣服边和她说：33.“哈！今天成绩不错。

种完了五垄地，垄垄都像钢条一样笔直。

上帝可以作证，玛丽，说你完全有理由为给马丁 •德莱尼当老婆感到自豪，这话不是吹牛吧。

不过我说得也不全面，老婆。

今天这个幸运的日子，你干的那份活，也比村里别的所有女人干得都好。

”34.他们静静地又站了一会儿，看着他们种完的地。

她和丈夫共同完成的工作，让玛丽感到无比的甜美和由衷的舒畅，浑身都舒服，顿时，她所有的不满和疲劳感都烟消云散了。

这些活是 他俩一起干的。

他们在地里一起播下了种子。

明天，明天的明天，一辈子，每到春天来临，他俩都会弯腰播种，直至两人的手和全身的骨头都因关节炎而变形。

不过一到夜晚降临，睡眠会使他们忘却白天的艰辛。

35.在他们慢步回家的路上，马丁走在前面，和另外一位农民伙伴谈论自家春播的事情，玛丽跟在他身后，两眼瞅着地，独自思忖着。

远处传来母牛哞哞的叫声。

That meant they had to feel all the emotions ofthe cartoon creatures: happiness, sadness, anger, fear. The artists looked at themselves in a mirror and expressed each emotion: smile, tears, a red face, wide-opened eyes. Then they drew that look on the face of each cartoon creature.Disney’s art of animation reached its highest point in 1940 with the movie Pinocchio. The story is about a wooden toy that comes to life as a little boy. Disney’s artists drew two-and-a-half-million pictures to make Pinocchio. The artists drew flat pictures. Yet they created a look of space and solid objects. Pinocchio was an imaginary world., yet it looked very real.Listening ExercisesA.

Lesson 4II. QuestionsA Questions on the Content:1. Dayton, Tennessee is a little town in the mountains. This is a place where a clash had been built up between the fundamentalists and modernists. Fundamentalism was strong in Dayton. Many people there are close-minded and ignorant, and many of them had never read any book except the Bible, nor had they travelled outside their native county.2. Before he got involved in the trial, he was a science teacher at a secondary school in Dayton, Tennessee. He was charged with teaching evolution and that was against law.3. The media reacted to the trial with a lot of interest and enthusiasm, and the trial was reported the world over. The reason why the media paid so muchattention to the trial was that the tial was about the problem of intellectual and academic freedom and the result of the trial would affect the whole country even the whole world.4.The main argument of Darrow’s opening speech is that teachers are brought to the trial because they teach scientic theory. Intellectual freedom is thus endangered. If we allow this to happen, we are actually walking back to dark age of the 16tth century.5.Bryan’s argument was that man id made by God in His image, and he believed in what was said in the Bible. Malone responded to his argument by saying that Mr. Bryan is not the only one who had the right to speak for the Bible, because he has given most of his life to politics. The truth is eternal and always wins and needs no human agency to support it.6.Henry Louis Mencken was an American editor and satirist. During the Scopes trial he wrote syndicated columns from Dayton for the Baltimore Sun. The reason why there was talk of running him out of town was that he referred to the local citizenry as yokels. Darrow’s trump card was to call for Bryan as a witness for the defense. Bryan knew that it was a trap, but he could not refuse the challenge. He had to no choice but to fall into the trap.7. Darrow’s trump card was to call for Bryan as a witness for the defense. Bryan knew that it was a trap, but he could not refuse the challenge. He had to no choice but to fall into the trap.8.Bryan was an expert on the Bible and his reputation as an authority on Scripture is recognized throughout the world. It’s out of everybody’s expectation that Darrow would callBryan as a witness for the defense. Because of the wording of the anti-evolution law, the prosecution was forced to take the position that the Bible must be interpreted literally. Darrow, while questioning Bryan on Genesis, successfully defeated Bryan in the debate. This is why the writer called the questioning of Bryan by Darrow on Genesis the climax.9.The verdict of the trial was guilty and John Scopes was fined 100 dollars and cost. John Scopes lost the case in court but he actually won the case because his lawyer successfully beat the prosecutor in the oratorical fight..
