A heated discussion about whether men are braver than women is settled in a rather unexpected way.
The Dinner Party
I first heard this tale in India, where it is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.

Writing assignment
Paragraph writing as the students’ homework
Suppose you were the American naturalist attending the dinner party. Write a paragraph of 120150 words describing how the hostess reacted to the crisis. You are required to write in chronological order and use the words and phrases given below.
For reference
While viited to dinner in the home of a colonial official. During the meal, a heated argument sprang up among some of the guests. The point at argument was whether a woman could face a crisis with the same self-control as a man. Suddenly I saw the hostess stare straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She silently motioned to a servant and he quickly placed a bowl of milk on the veranda. Since milk was commonly used as bait for snakes, I guessed there must be a cobra in the room. In a commanding tone I told everyone not to move a muscle. Shortly the snake emerged from under the table and made for the bowl of milk. I had thought that I was the one in perfect control, but then the hostess remarked that she had discovered the presence of the cobra when it crawled across her foot!

大学英语精读2课文翻译全Unit 1 XXX Party一场激烈的争论关于男人是否比女人更勇敢，最终以一种出人意料的方式解决了。
故事的背景是在印度，据说这个故事在当地仍然广为流传。
但实际上，这个故事并不是真的。
有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前，一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事，但是我一直未能找到那篇文章。
在这个故事中，一对殖民地官员和他们的客人在家中举行盛大的晚宴。
餐桌设在宽敞的餐厅里，地板是大理石的，没有铺地毯，屋顶上的椽子裸露着，宽大的玻璃门通向走廊。
客人包括军官和他们的夫人，还有一位来访的美国博物学家。
在晚宴上，一位年轻女士和一位少校展开了激烈的讨论。
女士认为，现代女性已经不像过去那样害怕老鼠了，而少校则不同意。
他认为，女人在遇到危险时会尖叫，而男人则会更加冷静。
在场的美国博物学家没有参加讨论，他只是静静地观察着其他客人。
突然间，他注意到女主人的表情有些奇怪。
她盯着前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得的，迅速地离开了餐室。
只有美国博物学家注意到这一幕，其他人都没有察觉到。
他意识到，碗中的牛奶是用来引蛇的诱饵。
他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子，但是那里没有蛇。
室内的三个角落也没有蛇，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。
这样，剩下的唯一可能藏蛇的地方就是餐桌下面。
他想要往后一跳并向其他人发出警告，但他知道这样会引起骚乱，使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。
于是他讲了一通话，语气非常威严，使所有人都安静了下来。
“我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制力，我数三百下，也就是五分钟，你们谁都不许动一动。
动者将罚款五十卢比。
准备好！”在我等待进大学的时候，我在一份地方报纸上看到了一则广告，说是在伦敦某郊区，距离我家约十英里的地方有一所学校正在招聘教师。
由于手头很拮据，同时也想做点有用的事情，我便提出了申请。
然而，我也担心自己没有学位，没有教学经验，得到这份工作的可能性微乎其微。

Prejudice Against Women
Women have been prejudiced against for centuries perhaps ever since life on earth. They have long been referred to as “weaker sex”, considered naturally weaker than men, unable to perform the work that requires muscles or pluck the courage to face up to any crisis. As we know, Plato( 柏拉图 ), Aristotle, Shakespeare, and Confucius all made negative remarks about women. And even today, such a prejudice has not entirely been eliminated and the argument in the text shows how hard long-standing prejudices die.
1. Who do you think are braver, women or men? (Please give an example to support your statement.)
2. Do you think women can do everything men can?
3. Do you believe that women can face a crisis with great self-control?

Cobra Cobras, found in some parts of Africa and Asia, are poisonous snakes. Most cobras bite their victims and their bite may cause death within a few hours. The king cobra, the largest of all poisonous snakes, may reach a length of 18 ft (5.5 m) and feeds chiefly on other snakes. When disturbed, it raises its hooded head to get a better view or to strike. Large individuals may raise themselves to a height of about 1 m (about 4 ft). The Indian cobra is usually 4-5 ft (1.2–1.6 m) long. The snake’s color ranges from yellowish to dark brown. It has a mark like a pair of spectacles on the back of its hood. It preys on rats and is therefore often found in houses. The Indian cobra and the Egyptian cobra are often displayed by snake charmers. The cobras appear to respond to the music played by the charmer, but, like all snakes, they are deaf and only follow the movements of the charmer.
