I once heard this tale in India, where it is told as if true—though any naturalist would know it couldn’t
be. The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They invite army
officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist.
A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says women are no longer the jumping on a
chair at the sight of a mouse and an army officer who disagrees and says “‘A woman’s reaction in any crisis
is to scream. And a man has more control than a woman.”
The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests.
As he stares, he sees a slight strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She gestures to the servant
standing behind her chair and whispers to him. The servant’s eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the
room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the servant place a bowl of milk on the 3 balcony just outside the open glass doors.
In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing: bait（诱饵）for a snake. The American understands there
must be a snake in the room. His eyes move across the room but see nothing. He realizes the snake can only
be in one place—under the table.
His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten
the animal into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. “I
want to know what control everyone here has. I will count three hundred—that’s five minutes—and not one
of you is to move a muscle. Ready!”
The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying “—two hundred and eighty —”When,
out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he
jumps to close the balcony doors.
“There is your proof!” the host shouts. “A man has just shown us perfect self-control. “
“Just a minute,” the American says, turning to his hostess, “How did you know that snake was in the
room?” With a faint smile coming across her face she replies: “Because it was lying across my foot.”
24. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. The army officer’s opinion is quite wrong.
B. Women are afraid of mice.
C. The American suggests playing a game for entertainment.
D. The hostess has had previous experience catching snakes.
25. Choose the right order of the events given in the passage.
