大学英语精读第二册 Unit One:Is There Life onEarth?TEXTIt is humorous essay. But after reading it you will surely find that the author is most serious in writing it.Ts There Life on Earth?There was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the plant Earth, and is has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area know as Manhattan (named after the great Venusian astronomer1 Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago).Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology."We have come to the conclusion, based on last week'ssatellite landing," Prof. Zog said, "that there is no life on Earth.""How do you know this?" the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked."For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breather thisair and survive.""What does this mean as far as our flying sauce program is concerned?""We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than we originally planned.""Are there any other hazards that you discovered in your studier?""Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering2 over the surface of Earth? We call this the Consolidated3 Edison Belt. We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.""Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer.""Sir, what are all those tiny black spots on the photographs?""We're not certain. They seem to be metal particles that move along certain paths. They emit gases, make noise and keep crashing into each other. There are so many of these paths and so many metal particles that it is impossible to land a flying saucer without its being smashed by one.""What are those stalagmite projections4 sticking up?""They're some type of granite5 formations that give off light at night. Prof. Glom has named them skyscrapers6 since they seem to be scraping the skies.""If all you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years?""Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.""Prof. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is nolife there?"Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere."NEW WORDShumorousa. funny; that makers7 people laugh 幽默的humorn.essayn. 散文,随笔excitementn. the state or quality of being excitedplanet。
Let me tell you one of the earliest disasters in my career as a teacher. It was January of 1940and I was fresh out of刚刚做完graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City. Part of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class,sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say "All right, teach me something." Twoweeks later we started Hamlet. Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on hiships. "Look," he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff" Andnot having a book of his own to point to, he pointed to mine which was lying on the desk.给你们讲讲我刚当老师时候的一次失败经历吧。
那是1940年的1月,我从研究生院毕业不久,在堪萨斯城大学开始第一学期的教学工作。
一个瘦高,长得就像顶上有毛的豆角架一样的男学生走进我的课堂,坐下,双臂交叉放在胸前,看着我,好像在说:“好吧,教我一些东西。
”两周后我们开始学习《哈姆雷特》。

晚宴莫娜·加德纳我最初听到这个故事是在印度,那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像确有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。
后来有人告诉我,在第一次世界大战之前不久,一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事。
但登在杂志上的那篇故事以及写那篇故事的人,我却一直未能找到。
故事发生在印度。
某殖民地官员和他的夫人正举行盛大的晚宴。
筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里,室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯;屋顶明椽裸露;宽大的玻璃门外便是走廊。
跟他们一起就坐的客人有军官和他们的夫人,另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家。
席间,一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。
年轻的女士认为,妇女已经有所进步,不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上;少校则不以为然。
他说:“一遇到危急情况,女人的反应便是尖叫。
而男人虽然也可能想叫,但比起女人来,自制力却略胜一筹。
这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。
”那个美国人没有参加这场争论,他只是注视着在座的其他客人。
在他这样观察时,他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。
她两眼盯着正前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得大大的,迅速地离开了餐室。
在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕,也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。
那个美国人突然醒悟过来。
在印度,碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。
室内的三个角落里也是空的,而在第四个角落里,仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。
这样,剩下的就只有一个地方了——餐桌下面。
他首先想到的是往后一跳,并向其他人发出警告。
但他知道这样会引起骚乱,致使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。
于是他很快讲了一通话,其语气非常威严,竟使得所有的人都安静了下来。
