On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, (25) _ huge rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew immediately I wanted t

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of waste, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. Its (27) _ me why visitors started respecting the

Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to accomp

If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by doing rather than complaining. We need to teach by example. You cant blame others (32) _ you start wi

24、all rolled into one. The system might use a smart identity card, or a digital certificate linked to a specific computer and would authenticate users at a range of online services.The idea is to 45 a federation of private online identity systems. User could select which system to join, and only regis
25、tered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems. The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet drivers license 46 by the government.Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these “single sign-on” systems that make it possible for u
26、sers to 47 just once but use many different services. 48 , the approach would create a “walled garden” cyberspace, with safe “neighborhoods” and bright “streetlights” to establish a sense of a 49 community.Mr. Schmidt described it as a “voluntary ecosystem” in which “individuals and organizations ca

33、e of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed herself as she did nowhere else. After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate (巨头) Aristotle Onassis, Jacquelines close friend and former White House so
34、cial secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it.

The book went on to become an international bestseller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he pre
37、pared his autobiography, Moonwalk.Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for pu
38、blication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote.

50、ontrol measures. But he also said earlier that gun violence was a complex problem that would require a complex solution and gun control, therefore, was far from the only answer.America is a gun heaven. Around 11,000 deaths were caused by guns last year. In contrast, Britain has about 50 gun killings
51、 a year. Many people believe that America is simply a more violent, individualistic society. But the only field in which the U.S. rate is surprisingly higher seems to be the gun killings. For all the other crimes theft, robbery, attack the United States is within the range of other advanced countrie
52、s.Is Americas popular culture the cause? This is highly unlikely, as largely the same culture exists in other rich countries. Youth in Britain, for example, are exposed to almost the same cultural influences as in the United States. The Japanese are at the cutting edge of the world of video games, m
53、ost of which touch on violence. Yet the rates of gun shooting in these two countries are a tiny fraction of Americas. At the same time, Britain and Japan both have perhaps the tightest regulations of gun. As for America, the country has far more permissive gun laws. With 5 percent of the worlds popu
54、lation, the United States has 50 percent of the guns.There are always evil or weak-minded people, who might be influenced by popular culture. But how can government identify the darkest thoughts in peoples minds before they have taken any action? Certainly those who urge all-round democracy would no
55、t allow government to monitor thoughts, forbid free expression, and ban the sale of information and entertainment in exchange for bodily safety. Then why not do something much simpler and that has been successful: limit access to guns? America is in desperate need of a real ban, not another toothles
56、s ban, full of exceptions, which the gun lovers would use to claim that such bans dont reduce violence.63. In the first paragraph President Obama _. A. regarded loose gun control as the single reason for gun violence B. believed Americas gun laws had nothing to do with gun violence C. thought many r
57、easons accounted for the gun violence in America D. thought gun violence was far from the only problem America faced64. Cultural influence is not the main reason for gun violence because _. A. nations of similar cultural background have lower rates of gun shooting than the U.S. B. cultural influence
58、s usually cause theft or robbery rather than gun firing C. Americans are not influenced by violent video games as Japanese are D. Americans are rarely influenced by popular culture65.
