Passage 1 +sV# Z,
Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of
O#<|[Dzw
new beneficent drugs. vgd}09y
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at J?UZN^
Columbia University''s College of Physicians and Surgeons. These two &9GR2GY
people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the !nqm ;96
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights Oa3=+_C~$1
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the ~Iu21Q(*
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been %
$!R] B)
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. >V ]*mS%K
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they 3HDnOl8t
found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous OGD8QD
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them {R6Zwjs
developed cultures; that is, larger masses of the germs with which to \M1M2(@pDJ
experiment. At last, after long and painstaking work, they were able C$Hl`>?$
to draw from these germs a substance which is a germ destroyer. Dr. 0'`8HP
Meleney and Miss Johnson named it bacitracin-baci because the germ is, u"
NIG
in scientific language, a bacillus and tracin for Margaret Tracy, 0ga1Yr]
whose broken leg supplied the germ. ~*Sbn~U
Bacitracin at first was used only locally; later the drug was olQ8s*
developed into a solution that can be used to fight germ through the 6@Z'fT4
blood stream. }i/2XmA )

Passage 2 $cpQ7
Our echo sounder located the wreck of a French submarine that had DW%K'+@M
foundered during the war in seventy-five feet of water outside Dakar pmD-]0
harbor. Dumas and I plunged down and found the vessel lying clean and B+[Q$Q"
upright, surrounded by such clouds of fish as we had rarely seen-small e4H0<h
}{
silver fingerlings and dark metals. As Dumas swam into the shadow of OZ0%;Y0
the port propeller, he came face to face with a gigantic fish, grouper w,#W&>+&
variety, cousin to our familiar Mediterranean meroblast-fish. This h \cK
specimen was ten times the size of our old acquaintances: he weighed |
xI_aYv*
at least four hundred pounds. The wide, flat head and tiny eyes WuZn|j'
advanced on Dumas; the ugly mouth yawned open, wide enough to admit L , Fso./y
him. Dumas knew that sedentary groupers have no teeth to speak of; it [_G0kiI}W"
seemed, however, that this individual might wish to swallow him SK}g(X7IWH
unmasticated in the fashion of the mero type which swims agape(大张着嘴), 5*
za]
taking in whole octopuses(章鱼). @O0vh$3t0
The cavernous mouth approached within two feet; Dumas sculled k*6eZ 7
backward, watchfully keeping a modest interval as the monster XlJux_LD:
unhurriedly followed. The knowledge that the species was harmless gave ZUI9[A?
Dumas little comfort as he gazed into the fish''s mouth; he and the Z4zMa&
grouper exchanged mutual stares of revulsion for a seemingly _7HJ'
interminable period while Dumas was steadily pressed back. Then the `rJ ~*7-
beast lost interest, turned aside, and returned to its dim home under >:nJTr
the lost submarine. Dumas surfaced in a reflective mood: "Imagine QD VA*6F
being swallowed by a lousy grouper." /j\TmcnU^
