請依下文回答第 36 題至第 40 題  As Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, a global audience of 500 million people werewatching and listening. “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” they heard him say as he droppedfrom the ladder of his spacecraft to make the first human footprint on the lunar surface. It was the perfectquote for such a 36 occasion. But from the moment he said it, people have argued about whether the NASAastronaut got his lines wrong. In the tense six hours and forty minutes between landing on the moon and stepping out ofthe capsule, Armstrong wrote what he knew would become some of the most 37 words in history. He has alwaysinsisted that he wrote “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,” which would have been a moremeaningful and 38 correct sentence. Without the missing “a,” the intended meaning of the sentence is lost. Ineffect, the line means, “That is one small step for mankind (i.e., humanity), one giant leap for mankind.” But did hereally say the sentence incorrectly? Until now Armstrong himself had never been sure if he actually said what he wrote.In his biography First Man he told the author James Hansen, “I must admit that it doesn’t sound like the word ‘a’ isthere. On the other hand, certainly the ‘a’ was intended, because that’s the only way it makes sense.” But now, afteralmost four decades, the space explorer has been 39 . Using high-tech sound analysis techniques, Peter ShannFord, an Australian computer expert, has discovered that the “a” was spoken by Armstrong, but he said it so quicklythat it was 40 on the recording that was broadcast to the world.
