The monkey, like man, has an opposable thumb (大拇指) —that is, it can place its thumb opposite its other fingers. By pressing its first finger against its thumb a monkey can pick up things as tiny as a flea (跳蚤). Because other animals lack this kind of thumb, it is difficult for them to pick up small things and carry them. The monkey’s ability to grasp rice with its paw often leads to its capture. Hunters put some rice inside a coconut, leaving a hole in the shell of the nut. The monkey has no trouble sliding its paw through the hole. But it can’t draw the paw out while it is holding the rice with its paw. Since it isoften too stupid or greedy to open its hand, the monkey is unable to free itself from this simple trap (圈套).11.

Lesson 79 By air乘飞机Why did the plane turn back?I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. A flight attendant would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, a flight attendant told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.参考译文我在幼年的时候，曾多次乘飞机旅行。
