11、quals of men. After the fall of Rome, the first European society to regulate behaviour in private life in accordance with a complicated code of etiquette was twelfth-century Provence, in France.Provence had become wealthy. The lords had returned to their castles from the crusades, and there the idea

12、ls of chivalry grew up, which emphasized the virtue and gentleness of women and demanded that a knight should profess a pure and dedicated love to a lady who would be his inspiration, and to whom he would dedicate his valiant deeds, though he would never come physically close to her. This was the in

14、loped an extremely complex code of manners, but the rules of behaviour of fashionable society had little influence on the daily life of the lower classes. Indeed many of the rules, such as how to enter a banquet room, or how to use a sword or handkerchief for ceremonial purposes, were irrelevant to

15、the way of life of the average working man, who spent most of his life outdoors or in his own poor hut and most probably did not have a handkerchief, certainly not a sword, to his name.Yet the essential basis of all good manners does not vary. Consideration for the old and weak and the avoidance of

16、harming or giving unnecessary offence to others is a feature of all societies everywhere and at all levels from the highest to the lowest.

21、his eye was caught by an enormous picture displayed upon the wall of a house. It represented a human figure covered with long, dark hair, with huge nails upon his hands and a most fearful expression. On coming nearer, he heard a man call out Walk in, ladies and gentlemen, the most wonderful curiosit

At first the crowd prevented his seeing anything, for the place was full to suffocation (窒息), and the noise awful. At last, Mr Ke

23、rry obtained, by means of squeezing and pushing, a place in the front, when to his horror, he saw a figure that was far worse than the portrait outside.It was a man, nearly naked, covered with long, shaggy hair, that grew even over his nose and cheekbones. He sprang about, sometimes on his feet, som

Mr Kerry did not feel exactly happy at the whole proceeding, and began heartily to wish himself outside. Suddenly, the savage gave a more frightening scream than before

25、and seized a piece of raw beef which a keeper extended to him on a long fork. This he tore to pieces eagerly, and ate in the most voracious (贪婪旳) manner, among great clapping of hands and other evidence of satisfaction from the audience. Ill go now, thought Mr Kerry, for who knows whether, in his hu

26、ngry moods, he might not fancy finishing his dinner with me. Just at this instant, some sounds struck his ear that surprised him. He listened more attentively and, to his amazement, found that among the most fearful cries and wild yells, the savage was talking Irish. Now, Mr Kerry had never heard of

27、 an African Irishman so he listened very closely, and by degrees, not only the words were known to him, but the very voice was familiar, so turning to the savage, he addressed him in Irish, at the same time fixing him with a severe look.“Who are you?” said Mr Kerry.“Billy McCabe, sir.”“And what do y

It was impossible to climb down into the Kingo valley. The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical. W

32、e couldnt find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground. We had somehow to break through to the river which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited

33、lowlands.Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in single file. Progress was slow. Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1000 feet to the water below. We climbed bac

34、k up the slope and began to look for another way down. We climbed, slipped, sweated and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river.

There was a fallen tree lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below the falls. Wi

36、thout hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was. Having got to the fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the flat bank on the other side, throwing his arms in the air like a f

HILARY MACASKILL suggests here that tuning in may be advisable.This weeks Horizon: How Much Can You Drink? Addresses itself to the practical issue of the dividing line between harmless normal drinking and

42、 the “serious drinking problem” that troubles an estimated 700 000 people in this country. Too much drinking can have terrible effects on health: in the next 12 months 10 000 people may die prematurely from the effects of drink. Advertisements can no longer characterize alcohol as beneficial. Guinne

Nevertheless, social drinkers cling hopefully to that scrap of half-remembered research that suggests that a little drink is good for you.Well, perhaps it is. Darts (a game) players can draw comfort from the evidence in the programme that hand shaking lesse

44、ns after a few drinks. Though it must be added that next days hand shaking was greater than normal. Moderate drinking, because of the effect of alcohol on the blood, may give some protection against heart disease.But peoples bodies vary hugely in their reactions to alcohol. The less fortunate drinke

45、rs may get cirrhosis (a kind of disease) of the liver after a far smaller alcohol amount than another drinker.So how much can you drink? The answer, if you are a woman, is less that a man. The reason is not another example of rough discrimination but that women, unfair though it may be, are more at

46、risk from alcohol. Doctors recommend a daily limit of six units for a man, four units for a woman.That limit is the aim of those who attend Drink Watchers, formed 18 months ago, which works on similar lines to Weight Watchers.

48、oal of Drink Watchers and Geraldine has some useful tips to help people stick to the limit: “Make the first drink a soft one to quench the thirst. Alternate alcohol with mineral water. Put the glass on the table between sips. Distance the glass so you have to make a conscious effort to reach it. Mak

53、 the next 20 to 30 years provided scientists can find water on the red planet, the head of NASAs (美国国家宇航局) surface exploration mission said on September 16. Two partially solar-powered robot geologists - Mars Exploration Rovers, or MERs (机器人地质学者火星探测漫游者) have been trundling across 3 miles of the plan

54、et and into craters since January, beaming back data about the makeup of what scientists believe is Earths sister planet. 1. Asked how long it could be before astronauts land on Mars, Arthur Thompson, mission manager for MER surface operations said, My best guess is 20 to 30 years, if that becomes o

55、ur primary priority. The two MER robots, dubbed Spirit and Opportunity, have found ancient evidence that water was once plentiful - important for scientists hoping to know if there was once - or could still be - life on Mars. Without water, the dream of sending astronauts to the often dusty planet,

56、which has rust-colored rocks and where the sky is red and sunsets are blue, couldnt unravel. If we cannot find water，it really makes it difficult to send humans. Water is the key, said Thompson, who was attending a mining engineers conference. 2. Such a mission would take 11 to 12 months to get to M

57、ars and it would be impossible to carry enough water for the astronauts, plus the water needed to make rocket fuel for the return journey, to cool the spacecraft and to generate energy. Thompson said scientists had found a canyon on Mars that makes the Grand Canyon look like a small canyon, where wa

58、ter could still be present. There are indications that there is actually water that seeps out the side of the canyon, and going down the side it evaporates. We believe its an ongoing process, he said. Three satellites now orbiting Mars are constantly gathering information, and Thompson said, If ther
