Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of tCk;tu!d
new beneficent drugs. CjtXU=}A
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at f@R j;R~Jp
Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. These two ~7W?W<
people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the wPn#>\/L
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights |8$x
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the aIv>X@U}
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been m q`EMOH
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. 8}\Lt
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they 9ZL3p!
found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous );wSay>%(
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them @N,EoSb :
developed cultures; that is, larger masses of the germs with which to 5'/Ney9N
experiment. At last, after long and painstaking work, they were able sS,Swgr
to draw from these germs a substance which is a germ destroyer. Dr. /#z5bo
Meleney and Miss Johnson named it bacitracin-baci because the germ is, /RuGh8qzP
in scientific language, a bacillus and tracin for Margaret Tracy, c|lo%[]R!
whose broken leg supplied the germ. x1\,WOrmK
Bacitracin at first was used only locally; later the drug was 3[E3]]OVa
developed into a solution that can be used to fight germ through the l@a>"\><i*
blood stream. [V ~(7U

Our echo sounder located the wreck of a French submarine that had /J''`Tf
foundered during the war in seventy-five feet of water outside Dakar = F*SAz
harbor. Dumas and I plunged down and found the vessel lying clean and kr ,&aP<,
upright, surrounded by such clouds of fish as we had rarely seen-small i\~@2
silver fingerlings and dark metals. As Dumas swam into the shadow of cAFYEx/(
the port propeller, he came face to face with a gigantic fish, grouper 9e5XS\
variety, cousin to our familiar Mediterranean meroblast-fish. This ^n Gj 7b
specimen was ten times the size of our old acquaintances: he weighed }7?n\I+n"
at least four hundred pounds. The wide, flat head and tiny eyes {A<pb{<u
advanced on Dumas; the ugly mouth yawned open, wide enough to admit &CP]+ at
him. Dumas knew that sedentary groupers have no teeth to speak of; it e_U1}{=t
seemed, however, that this individual might wish to swallow him (*qMs)~]B
unmasticated in the fashion of the mero type which swims agape(大张着嘴), Fpe>|
"&
taking in whole octopuses(章鱼). jEK{QOq0
The cavernous mouth approached within two feet; Dumas sculled >|j8j:S[
backward, watchfully keeping a modest interval as the monster :pz`bFJk
unhurriedly followed. The knowledge that the species was harmless gave \%],pZsA ~
Dumas little comfort as he gazed into the fish's mouth; he and the LDX>S*cL
grouper exchanged mutual stares of revulsion for a seemingly LVHIQ9
interminable period while Dumas was steadily pressed back. Then the =74yhPAW
beast lost interest, turned aside, and returned to its dim home under ZMp5d4y5
the lost submarine. Dumas surfaced in a reflective mood: "Imagine Y8i'=Po%,
being swallowed by a lousy grouper." @wVq%GG}
23. Dumas encountered the jewfish while . Al93x
A)trying to locate an old wreck. ?a
Md#.&
B)skin fishing in Dakar harbor. %"yy8~|
C)swimming near a foundered submarine. BYuoeN!
D)attempting to salvage a submarine. {tKi8O^Rb
24. The gigantic fish was actually . b79z<D
A)an extraordinarily large pomfret. !3*:6
C)a kind of grouper fish. P<E!ix
B)a mero. zn+5pn&?
