Passage 1 ,D{7=mDVm
Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of w0!$ow.l
new beneficent drugs. coAXYn
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at -leX|U}k
Columbia University''s College of Physicians and Surgeons. These two ?4':~;~
people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the m?kiGC&m
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights D[+LU(
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the _)45G"M
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been vIpL8B86a
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. m?(8T|i
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they Vg'R=+Wb
found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous [[|#}D:L
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them !Ubm 586!
developed cultures; that is, larger masses of the germs with which to `/sNX<mp
experiment. At last, after long and painstaking work, they were able |<Ls;:5.
to draw from these germs a substance which is a germ destroyer. Dr. @bg9
}Z%\h
Meleney and Miss Johnson named it bacitracin-baci because the germ is, h~>1-T8
in scientific language, a bacillus and tracin for Margaret Tracy, 2Wzx1_D"a
whose broken leg supplied the germ. |mtW)

Passage 2 b]]k\b
Our echo sounder located the wreck of a French submarine that had Kvg=7o
foundered during the war in seventy-five feet of water outside Dakar oI-Fr0!
harbor. Dumas and I plunged down and found the vessel lying clean and (m1m}* @
upright, surrounded by such clouds of fish as we had rarely seen-small @ fMlbJq
silver fingerlings and dark metals. As Dumas swam into the shadow of *{?2M6Z
the port propeller, he came face to face with a gigantic fish, grouper E{6ku=2F
variety, cousin to our familiar Mediterranean meroblast-fish. This HZ<#H3_ix
specimen was ten times the size of our old acquaintances: he weighed rX$-K\4W
at least four hundred pounds. The wide, flat head and tiny eyes -v9 (43
advanced on Dumas; the ugly mouth yawned open, wide enough to admit L^e*_q2d:>
him. Dumas knew that sedentary groupers have no teeth to speak of; it @16y%]Q-E#
seemed, however, that this individual might wish to swallow him O#igH
unmasticated in the fashion of the mero type which swims agape(大张着嘴), m@nGXl'!
taking in whole octopuses(章鱼). RPa]VL1W
The cavernous mouth approached within two feet; Dumas sculled hak#Iz0[C
backward, watchfully keeping a modest interval as the monster 0(&uH0x
unhurriedly followed. The knowledge that the species was harmless gave Mxz
X@GBX
Dumas little comfort as he gazed into the fish''s mouth; he and the B#."cg4VR
grouper exchanged mutual stares of revulsion for a seemingly *Iw19o-I
interminable period while Dumas was steadily pressed back. Then the HV`u#hZ7C
beast lost interest, turned aside, and returned to its dim home under yYOV:3!"
the lost submarine. Dumas surfaced in a reflective mood: "Imagine 3znhpHO)
being swallowed by a lousy grouper." VII`qbxT
