Later I believed that Mr. Hellers target was modern war and all those who axe responsi

44、ble for waging it. Still later it seemed that he was attacking social organization and anyone who derives power from it. But by the end of the book it had become plain to me that it is no other phrase will do the human condition itself which is the object of Mr. Heller an outraged fury and disgust.

45、A reviewer must always keep an anxious eye on the state of his currency. If he announces too many masterpieces he risks inflation (though it is sometimes forgotten by some of us that the cowardice of perpetual crabbing (挑剔) receives its own kind of punishment). It does not seem many weeks since I wa

46、s proclaiming that Malcolm Lowrys Under the Volcano is one of the great English novels of the century; and not long before that I was urging that attention should be paid to the magnificent and neglected talent of William Gerhardi. But at the risk of inflation I cannot help writing that Catch-22 is

47、the greatest satirical work in English since Erewhon. For the fact is that all my successive interpretations of this book now seem to have been accurate, even if the earlier ones were also incomplete. The book has an immense and devastating (讽刺的) theme, but this theme is illustrated, as it should be

48、, by means of an observed reality. I am not suggesting that Catch - 22 is a realistic account of life in the wartime Air Force of America or any other country. The method of satire is to inflate (放大) reality so that all its partially concealed blemishes (缺点) turn into monstrous and apparent deformat

49、ions. The effect of good satire is to make us laugh with horror.

W

52、hy does the writer say at the risk of inflation?A.Because he feels that he might be exaggeratingB.Because he has recently praised more works than usualC.Because he finds it hard to be objectiveD.Because he feels he may not praise the work sufficiently答案:B Which of your two hands do you use much bett

53、er? Very few of us can use both of our hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. Newborn babies can grasp objects with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually prefer to use their right hands. Scientists dont know why

54、this happens. They used to think that we inherited this tendency from our animal ancestors, but this may not be true. Monkeys are our closest relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys prefer to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as there are left-handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. Youll see that some of them will prefer to swing from their right hands, and others will use their l
