  Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war?War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years.It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it.Modern skill has changed this.Either man will stop war, or war will stop man.For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological(细菌的)or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat.If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us.To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠杀),but by arbitration(仲裁)in accordance with agreed principles of law.It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.

  There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology(意识形态)would prevent war.I believe this to be a complete error.All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false.Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.

  The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome.It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided.Of course, very difficult problems remain in the international world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago.It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory.It has begun to be understood that the important conflict(冲突)nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the Hbomb.

How to Become Cleverer

   Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer, because his mother always called him “foolish boy”.

  “That’s easy,” answered the fisherman. “I know one way to make you become cleverer.”

  “Really?”

  “Of course. It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.

  A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.

  “Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.

  “Not in my head,” said the boy.

  The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”

A. enjoy it             B. wanted to taste it

C. took it as a good medicine     D. was a foolish boy

52. The boy came to the fisherman in order to __________.

A. buy a fish head        B. ask the fisherman a question

C. buy a whole fish        D. A and C

A. a whole fish            B. a fish head and one pound back

C. a whole fish and one po und back   D. a whole fish, a fish head and one pound back
