Passage 2
The rat has many enemies and its greatest enemy is man.Nevertheless,rats are survivors.Although man has carried on an endless war against them,rats have methodically and systematically colonized the world.In almost every country from the freezing cold of the Arctic regions to the blazing heat of the tropics,rats are to be found,growing,increasing and multiplying.
Apart from their ability to adapt themselves to varying climatic conditions,rats possess another quality that gives them an advantage in extending their boundaries.More so than most other animals,including snakes and spiders,they cause fear.Why should this be so?Certainly they carry disease and man is slow to forget the Black Plague(
黑死病
)carried by rats,that killed more than one-hird of the earth's population in the fourteenth century.Also rats have been known to bite babi
es in their cots,but the number of such attacks is very much exaggerated.One reads of the danger of being attacked by a cornered rat but they belong to fiction;rats do not go for your throat,as many would have us believe.Furthermore,it is difficult to believe that the rats' appearance can be a source of fear;the common black or brown rat can hardly be regarded as an ugly creature while its cousin,
the acacia rat,is quite pretty and gentle.
