Between the first and the second course of the meal , she , turned to Mr. Smith and said , “Do you see that grayhaired man at the end of the table ? The one with glasses .”“Ah , yes . Who is he ?”“He’s the Secretary of the Interior !” she replied .Mr . Smith said , “So that’s the Secretary of the Interior ! I’m afraid that I find very little to admire about him, although he is the Secretary .”The woman stiffened and did not reply . Mr. Smith continued in spite of her coldness . “I really can’t see how he received his appointment unless he is perhaps a relative of the President .”“It hardly matters whether you like the Secretary or not , ”she said . “He was chosen because the President thought he was the man for the job . If he does the job well , you should have no plaint .”“That’s just it,” persisted Mr. Smith . “No one does the things he does , unless he is a plete fool ! ”“Sir !” said the woman in all her dignity . “Do you know who I am ?” “No,” replied Mr. Smith .“I am the Secretary’s wife ,” she said coldly . Mr. Smith was shocked , but he went on in spite of his embarrassment . “Madam , do you know who I am ?”“No , I don’t ,” the woman replied .“Thank goodness !” exclaimed Mr. Smith , as he quickly left the table .41．Why is Mr. Smith well known in Washington ?

Nearly 1700 scientists , businessmen , and policymakers , onequarter from the foreign nations, gathered for a week to discuss various means of squeezing usable energy out of trees , crops manure , seaweed , algae and urban waste . Biomass in the United States contributes percent of the total supply , but this amount can be doubled by 2000 and then doubled again by the year 2010. Eight percent of Sweden’s energy supply , for example , is presently ing from wood bark and pulp remains . Sweden intends to raise this percentage by more intensive harvesting of waste food lying around in forests , and through the planting of socalled energy forests of fastgrowing trees such as willow and birch .Brazil is frequently pointed to as a nation with a major successful investment (投資) in energy ing from grains : it presently runs 330,000 automobiles on a water and alcohol (酒精) mixture , replacing 10 percent of its previous oil supply . Brazilian representatives (代表) at the conference said they wish to double this in five years , with a final goal of total replacement . Most of the cars are built at the factory to use the mixture , while older models are changed through lowcost government programs .44．In Line 2, the phrase received its day in the sun most probably means .
