Four Freedoms

                By Franklin Roosevelt

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship (崇拜) God in his own way—everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduction of armaments (武器) to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

...

This nation has placed its fate in the hands,heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy (至高無上) of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.

...

A 33-year-old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month. Salman Khan’s voice is heard every day on the net --- by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on YouTube ... lessons that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance. And they are free.
Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his “Khan Academy” four years ago, when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams. With Khan’s help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.
Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. “It feels like my voice in their head. You’re looking at it and it feels like someone’s over your shoulder talking in your ear, as opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,” he said.
When Springfield High School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person --- he immediately connected to the students there.
The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. “I think the teachers are good, but they can’t teach at a speed that’s perfect for everyone,” she said. “I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it.”
Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks short is better. “Education researchers now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain switches off,” he said.
For Khan, teaching math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says he’s ready to expand his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.
【小題1】What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?

A.His success in helping his cousin learn math.
B.His discovery that many students found learning math difficult.
C.A suggestion made to him at a local high school.
D.His interest in Internet teaching.
【小題2】Why does Khan never go on camera?
A.He’s too shy to show his face on camera.
B.It’s restricted by YouTube for education videos.
C.He wants to keep distance from the viewers.
D.He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere.
【小題3】From the passage, we know that ________.
A.Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons
B.Khan plans to include more subjects in the future
C.Khan gives live math lessons every day for free
D.Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife
【小題4】Why does Bridget Meaney like Khan’s lessons?
A.Khan teaches seventh grade math better than her teacher.
B.The lessons can be watched repeatedly until fully understood.
C.She can perfectly follow the pace of Khan’s teaching.
D.She cannot concentrate when learning in class.
【小題5】What does Khan mean by “short is better” in the 6th paragraph?
A.Keeping the lessons short can ensure better concentration.
B.YouTube recommends short lessons for its site.
C.Short lessons encourage students to return to the website.
D.Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more.

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books. I thought to myself, “  36 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 37 .”

My  40 went out to him. So, I ran over to him.   41 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it  42 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Kyle was the  43 student of our class, one of those guys that really found  44 during high school. Therefore he had the honor to prepare a  45 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was  46 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be  47 !” He looked at me and smiled.

He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to  48 those who helped you make it through those  49 years. Your parents, your teachers…but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  50 you can give him.”

Russia and the United States have completed the largest spy exchange since the Cold War.On Friday, at an airport in Vienna, Austria, an American plane and a Russian plane landed, parked side by side and exchanged occupants

The United States freed ten admitted Russian agents.The men and women were arrested in late June and pleaded(承認) guilty on Thursday.

In exchange, Russia freed four Russians serving prison sentences on charges of spying for the West.The men include Igor Sutyagin, an armed researcher who always denied the charges.Some considered him a political prisoner.

The United States deported(驅(qū)逐) nine Russian and an American citizen born in Peru.Some raised children while living quiet lives as married couples.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry praised the exchange, saying, “The action improved Russian-U.S.relations.”

The group was accused of trying to gain information on American nuclear weapons, foreign policy and politics for the SVR — Russia’s foreign intelligence service.

The ten were only charged with plotting(陰謀) to act as undeclared foreign agents.They were not charged with the more serious crime of spying, so the extent(程度) of their success as spies is not clear.

One of the Russians, Anna Chapman, drew attention with her looks and stories of her New York party life.Hr lawyer, Robert Baum, said she had not passed secret information to Russia or received any payment.He also said, “She was accused of communicating with a Russian official through a laptop to laptop communication, without the government specifying the nature of the communication.”

A.the pilots of the planes

B.the passengers on board the planes

A.neither side is interested in starting a fight

B.neither side is in need of spies now

C.the two countries are finding faults with each other

D.the two countries are in a cold war now
