The American soldiers were digging shallow trenches right in the middle of the track. Chinhohong wondered what they were up to. Surely, they were not digging slit trenches in the middle of the open track. But their purpose was soon apparent. They were obviously putting down AP mines and laying body trap wires along the track. Fascinated, Chinhohong watched the little khaki figures working with the jerky movements of mechanical toys. In no time at all, they had put in half a dozen brass AP mines and laid several strands of trip wire across the track. Then they had put back the earth and the leaves on the road to make the surface look undisturbed. They finished off soon after nine and then posting a sentry on either side of the bend they began to dig their foxholes on the opposite slope of the hill. Methodically, putting their heads close to the ground, they cleared the intervening undergrowth to give their guns an unrestricted field of fire. Their purpose was clear. They would sit in their foxholes, guarding the track, and ambush any enemy troops that happened to be walking along the track.The soldiers were laying down: |

Being stupid and having no imagination, animals often behave far more sensibly than men. Efficiently and by instinct they do the right, appropriate thing at the right moment- eat when they are hungry, look for water when they feel thirsty, make love in the mating season, rest or play when they have leisure. Men are intelligent and imaginative, they look backwards and ahead, they invent ingenious explanation for observed phenomena, and hey devise elaborate and roundabout means for the achievement of remote ends. Their intelligence, which has made them the masters of the world, often causes them to act like imbeciles. No animal, for example, is clever and imaginative enough to suppose that an eclipse is the work of a serpent devouring the sun. That is the sort of explanation that could occur only to the human mind. And only a human being would dream of making ritual gestures in the hope of influencing, for his own benefit, the outside world. While the animal, obedient to its instinct, goes quietly about its business, man, being endowed with reason and imagination, wastes half his time and energy in doing things that are completely idiotic. In time, it is true, experience teaches him that magic formulas and ceremonial gestures do not give him what he wants. But until experience has taught him- and he takes a surprisingly long time to learn- man's behaviour is in many respects far stellar than that of the animals.To benefit from the outside world: |
| A. | man is obedient to instinct. |
| B. | man makes ritual gestures. |
| C. | man wastes half his time and energy. |
| D. | man imagines and reasons. |
| E. | None of these |
| Answer» C. man wastes half his time and energy. | |
