Three corners of thero o m are e m p ty, an d in th e fo u rth th e se rvan ts are waitin g to se rve th e n e xt co u rse.There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump b ack and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hund red -- that's five m inutes -- and not one of you is to m ove a m uscle. Thosewho move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two h u n d re d an d e ig h ty..." wh e n, o u t o f th e co rn e r o f h is e ye, h e se e s th e co b ra e m e rg eand make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."Yo u we re right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the wo m a n's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot."UNIT 2-1一场关于男人是否比女人勇敢的激烈的讨论以一个意外的方式。
