A young man worked very hard at his lessons. He was too busy to have a rest. At last, he became ill, so he couldn’t go to sleep. Every night, when he went to bed, he closed his eyes and tried to sleep. But he always stayed awake and couldn’t fall asleep.

After some days, he decided to see a doctor. “I just can’t go to sleep at night. What should I do? Could you please help me?”

“I have a suggestion(建议),”said the doctor. “Try counting numbers. By the time you reach one thousand, you’ll be asleep. I’m sure of it.”

The next day the man returned to the doctor’s office. “Well,” said the doctor, how are you today? Did you try my suggestion?”

The man still looked tired. “Yes,” he said, “I tried counting one, two, and three— up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty-nine, I began to feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some tea so that I could go on counting up to one thousand. But then I still couldn’t fall asleep.”

南极的威力

  可以毫不夸张地说,人类在到达南极之前,实际上并不真正了解气候到底有多大的威力!

  就拿风来说吧,在世界其他地方,12级台风的风速也不过是32.6米每秒,但10级以上的大风就足以使墙倾屋毁、地动山摇,造成灾难性的后果,使人类的生命财产遭受巨大损失。而在南极,风速却常常可以达到55.6米每秒,有时甚至可达三百多千米每小时!因此,人们把南极叫做“暴风雪之家”,或者称之为“风极”。这样的风速对于人类的生存来说,无疑是一种严重的威胁。

  大风的直接后果是导致了极度的寒冷。1960年8月24日,前苏联人在他们设在东南极中心地区的东方站里,观测到了-88.3℃的极低温度。而在1983年7月21日,在东方站又记录到了-89.6℃的低温;同年7月,新西兰人在他们的万达站也记录到了同样的温度。这还不是最低温度。据说,1967年初,挪威人在极点站曾经记录到-94.5℃的最低温度。在这样的气温之中,一块钢板掉在地上就会摔得粉碎,一杯热水泼到空中落下来就变成了冰雹。在这种条件之下,人类的生存将会受到多大的威胁和考验就可想而知了。

  南极的气候不仅表现在狂风和严寒上,而且表现在它的变幻莫测上,常常出人意料,防不胜防。例如,1970年,有六架美国海军的运输机,满载着准备越冬的人员和物资,从新西兰飞往麦克默多基地。前面五架飞机都平安地抵达机场。而当第六架飞机只剩下最后40分钟的航程时,突然刮起了特大的暴风,驾驶员被迫紧急着陆。结果,巨大的C-130运输机被狂风吹得飘飘摇摇,失去了控制,折断了一个翅膀,撞坏了着陆架。值得庆幸的是,八名人员全部脱险。在南极的活动中,像这样的例子是很多的。

  对于一般人来说,南极的气候确实令人谈虎色变。然而气象学家们却是喜出望外,因为他们终于找到了一个最理想的实验室,并且希望能从这里找出一把解开全球性气候变化之谜的钥匙。

1.在第二段中找出一个比喻句,并分析这样表达的效果。
