Lesson1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。

新概念英语第三册第八课
新概念英语第三册第八课的标题是"Sounds Awful!"（听起来很糟糕！）。

以下是该课的主要内容概述：
本课主要讲述了一个名叫John Smith的男子的麻烦故事。

他生活在一个叫Puddleton的小镇上，那里非常安静。

然而，一天晚上，John Smith被一个巨大的声音吵醒了。

他听到有人敲窗户并喊道：“史密斯先生，史密斯先生！”他被吵醒并且感到害怕。

John Smith走出房间，发现一群人在他的房子外面。

原来是他的邻居们在想要借钱。

不仅如此，还有一辆救护车停在他家门口，医生还对他说自己的婴儿病了，需要紧急送医。

当John Smith回到自己的房间时，他发现自己的床破了。

在这个故事中，John Smith遇到了一系列的麻烦和噪音，使他感到非常困扰。

这个故事强调了安静和宁静的重要性，以及噪音对人们的生活造成的干扰和不便。

通过这一课的学习，学生将有机会练习阅读理解和语言表达的能力，并探讨关于噪音和宁静的主题。

课后的练习可能涉及词汇理解、问题回答、主题讨论和写作练习等。

请注意，为了充分理解和掌握该课的内容，建议您阅读原版教材中的文章，并进行适当的练习和讨论。

Future historians will be in a unique position when they come to record the history of our own times. They will hardly know which facts toselect from the great mass of evidence that steadily accumulates. What is more, they will not have to rely solely on the written word. Films, videos, CDs and CD-ROMS are just some of the bewildering amount of information they will have. They will be able, as it were, to see and hear us in action. But the historian attempting to reconstruct the distant past is always faced with a difficult task. He has to deduce what he can from the few scanty clues available. Even seemingly insignificant remains can shed interesting light on the history of early man.Up to now, historians have assumed that calendars came into being with the advent of agriculture, for then man was faced with a real need to understand something about the seasons. Recent scientific evidence seems to indicate that this assumption is incorrect.Historians have long been puzzled by dots, lines and symbols which have been engraved on walls, bones, and the ivory tusks of mammoths. The nomads who made these markings lived by hunting and fishing during the last Ice Age which began about 35,000 B.C. and ended about 10,000 B.C. By correlating markings made in various parts of the world, historians have been able to read this difficult code. They have found that it is connected with the passage of days and the phases of the moon. It is, in fact, a primitive type of calendar. It has long been known that the hunting scenes depicted on walls were not simply a form of artistic expression. They had a definite meaning, for they were as near as early man could get to writing. It is possible that there is a definite relation between these paintings and the markings that sometimes accompany them. It seems that man was making a real effort to understand the seasons 20,000 years earlier than has been supposed.New words and expressions 生词和短语calendarn. 历法，日历historiann. 历史学家uniqueadj. 无与伦比的steadilyadv. 不断地solelyadv. 唯一地videon. 录像CD-ROOMn. （只读）光盘驱动器bewilderv. 令人眼花缭乱deducev. 推断，推理scantyadj. 不足的，贫乏的cluen. 线索insignificant adj. 不重要的shedv. 使流出，泻adventn. 出现，到来，来临agriculturen. 农业assumptionn. 假定，设想dotn. 小圆点symboln. 符号engravev. 雕刻ivoryn. 象牙制品mammothn. （古）长毛象tuskn. 獠牙，长牙，象牙nomadn. 游牧民correlatev. 使相互联系phasen. 月相，天相primitiveadj. 原始的depictv. 描画，描绘参考译文未来的历史学家在写我们这一段历史的时候会别具一格。
