He was bornand reared in Genoa,one of the oldest European seafaring communities. As a youth he made severalvoyages in the Mediterranean, where thegreatest mariners of antiquity were bred. At the age of twenty-four, by luckychance, he was thrown into Lisbon,the center of European oceanic enterprise. There, while employed partly inmaking charts and partly on long voyages under the Portuguese flag, heconceived the great enterprise that few but a sailor would have planned, andnone but a sailor could have executed. His idea was to reach “The Indies”─ Eastern Asia ─ by sailing west. It took aboutten years to obtain support for this plan and he never did execute it because avast continentstood in the way. Americawas discovered by Columbuspurely by accident and was named for another man. We now honor Columbus for doingsomething that he never intended to do and never knew that he had done. Yet weare right in so honoring him, for he had the persistence, the knowledge, andthe sheer nerve to sail thousands of miles into an unknown ocean to make the mostspectacular and most far reaching geographical discovery in recorded humanhistory. 1. According to the passage, why did Columbus go to Lisbon? A. In order to learn chart-making. B. For no particular reason and without planning to do so. C.

Get a picture inyour mind of two empty chairs. In these two chairs let’s picture two visitors.In the first chair let’s seat a young man who is deaf.

He composed many great songs andsymphonies (交响乐). When hewas still a young man he lost his hearing. It is generally believed that aperson cannot be a professional musician or compose music without hearing, butthis man had a special driving force that enabled him to write some of the mostbeautiful music ever written. This man was Beethoven. The visitor in the second chair was a youngboy who was born with part of one foot missing. This young boy loved sports,especially football. As a young boy and later as a young man he had alwaysdreamed of playing football with a major league football team. He had a thirstthat could not be quenched (抑制). Finally, he made it into the New Orleans Saints football team andone day the football field in New Orleans he kicked the longest field goal in footballhistory. His name is Tom Dempsey.

He had been attacked by a sick dog that hadrabies（狂犬病）, a verydangerous disease. His doctor tried to help him, but there was no cure forrabies at that time. The doctor told Joseph’s parents that perhaps there wasone man who could save Joseph’s life. His name was Louis Pasteur. When Pasteur was a young boy in France,he was very curious. Louis was especially interested in medicine, so he spentmany hours every day with the chemist who lived in his small town. The chemistsold pills, cough syrups, and other types of medicine, just as modernpharmacists（药剂师）, ordruggists, do today. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicineshimself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and listening tohim help the customers who came to him each day. Pasteurdecided that one day he wanted to help people, too. As a schoolboy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, histeachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementaryschool, high school, and college, Pasteur worked the same thoughtful way. Infact, he was not a slow learner, but a very intelligent young man. He became acollege professor and a scientist, and he continued to work very carefully. Because of Pasteur’s patient methods, he wasable to make many observations about germs（细菌）. For example, germs cause meat and milk to spoil. They also causemany serious diseases.Pasteur was studying about the germs that causerabies when Joseph Meister became ill. Infact, Pasteur was believed he had a cure of rabies, but he had never given itto a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph, but hisdoctor said the child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation（疫苗）, or shot, every day for ten days. Slowly,the child became better. Pasteur’s vaccination（接种疫苗）cured him. During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs andlearned how they cause diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations that preventmany of these illnesses. He also invented the process of pasteurization巴斯德杀菌法, which stops foods such as milk from spoiling. Louis Pasteur diedon September 28, 1895, at the age of 72. Modern medicine continues to benefitfrom the work of this great scientist. 1. We learn from the passage that _________ A. Joseph fellill with a very dangerous disease. B.
