people agree that fencing 击剑 is one sport in which a person must be at least 30 years old before he learns all he needs to know about the sport But Clark Summers of the University of Detroit has shown that this doesn t always have to be true Clark is a different kind of fencer in a lot of ways He is American while most fencers are from the countries of Europe He is black while most fencers in the past have been white And he is only 22 years old Many people think that Clark is the most promising fencer in this country today Although he is young he has been able to master the necessary skills Already he has won a number of fencing contests 竞赛 against older fencers He is almost certain to become a member of the U S Olympic 奥林匹克 fencing team There is no real danger in fencing today Clark says But I never forget that fencing was not always a sport In the old days People fenced to settle a quarrel Each match was a matter of life and death If that came true in the matches I play in today every touch against me would mean that I had been wounded or killed So I try to play as if l were fencing for my life I don t like the idea of being killed 56 Most people think that can do fencing A

life and death B 精品文档 6欢迎下载 Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past There is another large reservoir 知识库 which may be called experience and the college student will find that every craftsman 工匠 has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them The information from them differs from 不同于 that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical 理论的 part the explanations of why things happen is frequently quite fantastic 神奇的 But the demonstration 示范 and report of what happens and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms 术语 Presently the college student will learn in this case also what to accept and what to reject One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman so can he Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional 传统的 practices handed down from father to son or mother to daughter of old country customs 习惯 of folklore 风俗 All this is very difficult for a college student to examine for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age 60 In the last paragraph the phrase this wide confused wilderness refers to A personal experience B wild weeds among good plants C the information from the parents D the vast

light could be seen several miles away The enemy did not know what the flashes meant but other Greek soldiers could understand the messages Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers When they had a message to send the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices important news could be sent quickly over distance In Africa people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums 鼓 Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood Though the messages were simple they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles In the eighteenth century a French engineer found a new way to send short messages In this way a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet It was like spelling out words with flags and arms Over a long period of time people sent messages by all these different ways However not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just

carrying more building a hospital two theaters museum an art exhibition hall and a church On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane 69 What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea The city was to be designed together with
