    The Discovery of Anesthetic

        Robert Liston used an anesthetic(麻醉剂)in all operation in London during which he cut off a leg in 26 seconds．There was not a sound from the sick man．and when he came to his senses he asked．“When are you going to begin?”What a change this was from the operations in earlier days!Simpson heard of it．hurried to London，and brought some ether(醚)back to Edinburgh．There he used it himself．But ether was not a perfect anesthetic．It had a bad smell，and its results on the sick man after the operation were unpleasant．Simpson decided to try to find a better anesthetic．

        He had his two friends．Duncan and Keith．then sat night after night in Simpson’s sitting room．and tried one gas after another on them―selves．This was not very safe，and it was a good thing that they some―times tried a new gas on an animal first．Once Simpson was just going to try a new gas himself．when he was told that he ought to try it first on an animal．He did so，and the animal died．

        After about a year's work of this．the three men tried a new anesthetic called chloroform(氯仿)．Suddenly Simpson fell on the floor under the table．When he cam．e back to his senses．the first thought in his

    mind was that chloroform was very good．Next he noticed that he was lying on the floor．Then he heard a noise and turned his head：there was Doctor Duncan under a chair with his eyes and mouth wide open，but asleep．Then Simpson saw Doctor Keith’s leg and feet moving about．

        A．on scientists themselves first

        B．on an animal first

        C．on sick persons first

        D．on men and animals at the same time

    　　Treasure hunts have excited people’s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island．Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues found in a book when he wrote a children’s story, Masquerade, in 1979．The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire．The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them．

    　　Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years．Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic, not by luck．His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start．He had realized that the words：“One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII’s six wives．Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him．Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cam bridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there．He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him．He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773．

    　　Even then his search had not come to an end．It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there．Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure．It was worth ￡3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable．
