  After fall

  When they found Missy' s essay in the estate sale forty years after the fall of civilization, people laughed that Missy had written about how society found global warming to be equivocal. That such a developed society could make such erroneous conclusions caused the survivors to eschew all other wisdom that they might have gained from the essence of the books they had found.

  They did not want to read any more about how the establishment had destroyed itself. Volcanic eruptions were still happening everyday and they had to seek shelter or they would be eradicated as well. That era was over because of their errors.

  So much had changed since then. Only a few of the buildings erected in the past remained standing.Erosion made it impossible to grow plants, escalating temperatures made it even more difficult to breathe in the already scalding air and established bases of refuge were becoming harder and harder to find.

  The most recent shelter, an old escalator shaft that went deep into the ground, was causing more interest anyhow than an old essay. As they walked down the eroding tunnel, they established that this was also a remnant of that dead society. When they reached a door and opened it, however, they discovered something that only the old-timers knew about, a movie theater. This, they said, was the dominant escapism at the fall of society, essential for those people who only valued entertainment while their world collapsed.

  As one of the older men turned on the projector, the rest of the group sat down and stared in amazement as images flashed on the screen. A child dropped the essay to the floor, never to be looked at again.

  讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-滅亡之后

  文明滅亡 40 年之后，他們在一次房地產拍賣會上發現了米西的文章。米西在文章中描述了社會如何發現全球變暖是個可疑的現象，他們都覺得可笑。這樣發達的社會居然會得出如此錯誤的結論，這個觀點使幸存者們避開了所有其他知識。從他們發現的那些書的精華中，他們是可以獲得這些知識的。

  他們不再愿意閱讀任何關于機構如何自我毀滅的文章。每天依然有火山噴發，他們不得不尋找躲避的地方，否則同樣會被消滅。由于他們的錯誤，那個時代結束了。

  自那以后發生了很大的變化。過去建造的建筑物只有少量依然存在。由于有腐蝕，植物無法栽種。不斷升高的氣溫使人在本已熾熱的空氣中更難呼吸，建好的避難基地也越來越難找到。

  最近發現的一處避難所是一個在地下走得很深的舊電梯井。不知是什么原因，跟一篇舊論文相比，它引起了人們更大的興趣。他們沿著正受腐蝕的隧道往下走，證實這也是那個時代的殘跡。但當他們到達一扇門、把門打開后，他們發現了一家只有老人們才知道的電影院。老人們說這是社會滅亡時用于逃避現實的主要設施，這種設施對于那些天塌下來的時候還只重視娛樂的人來說是非常重要的。

  有個老人打開放映機，其他人坐下來奇怪地看著屏幕上閃動的圖像。一個孩子把文章扔到地上，再也沒人看它一眼。
