On September 12, 1953, Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier were married at Newport, Rhode Island. They had three children—Caroline; John, Jr. , whom his father called John-John; and Patrick Bouvier, who lived but a few days.
Kennedy missed being nominated for vice-president by a few votes in 1956. But he gained an introduction to millions of Americans who watched the Chicago Democratic Convention on television. When he decided to run for president in1960, his name was widely known. Many thought that his religion and his youthful appearance would handicap him. Kennedy faced the religion issue frankly. He declared his firm belief in the separation of church and state. His wealth enabled him to assemble a staff and to get around the country in a private plane.
Kennedy? s four television debates with Republican candidate, Richard M. Nixon, were a highlight of the 1960 campaign. The debates probably were important in Kennedy?s close victory electoral votes to 219 for Nixon. The popular vote was breathtakingly close Kennedy received only18,574 more votes than Nixon--a fraction of 1 precent of the total vote. (excerpts from the New Book of Knowledge) C. Assasination
In November 1963, President Kennedy journeyed to Texas for a speech-making tour. In Dallas on November 22, he and his wife were cheered enthusiastically as their open car passed through the streets. Suddenly, at 12\the president twice, in the base of the neck and the head, and seriously wounding John Connally, the governor of Texas, who was riding with the Kennedys. The president was rushed to Park-land Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about a' half hour later. Within two hours, Vice President Johnson took the oath as president. On November 24, amid national and worldwide mourning, the President?s body lay in state on the rotunda of the U. S. Capitol. The next day, leaders of 92 nations attended the state funeral, and a million persons lined the route as a horsedrawn caisson bore the body to St. Matthew?s Cathedral for a requiem mass. While millions of Americans watched the ceremonies on television, the president was buried on an open slope in Arlington National Cemetry. There an eternal flame, lighted by his wife, marks the grave. On the day of the assasination, the police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year-old ex-marine, for the president?s murder. Oswald, who had lived for a time in the Soviet Union, killed Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit while resisting at-rest. Two days later, in the station, Oswald himself was basement of the Dallas police fatally shot by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner. On November 29, President Johnson appointed a seven- member commission, headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, to conduct a thorough investigation of the assassination and report to the nation. The commission?s report made public on Sept. 27, 1964, held that Oswald fired the shots that killed the president. Further, to allay suspicions that the murder was a conspiratorial plot, it stated that the committee \no evidence\that either Oswald or Ruby \of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy\
Ⅱ. 1. Kennedy thinks the world is different now because man has made great progress in science and technology and has not only the power (scientific farming, speedy transportation, mass production, etc. ) to abolish poverty, but also the power(missiles,H_bombs,etc.)to destroy all forms of human life.I agree with him.
2.According to Kennedy,the belief still at issue around the globe is the belief that all man are created equal and God has given them certain inalienable rights which no state or ruler can take away from them. 3.Kennedy considers as friends:
a)the old allies of the U.S., such as Britain,Canada,Australia,New Zealand and the western European countries; b) the countries in South America and;c)many of the developing countries in Asia and Africa that rely on U.S.aid.He considers all socialist countries as foes(all that time the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union)and those developing countries preparing to take the socialist road. 4. Britain,Canada,Australia,New Zealand.and in a wider sense one may also include France.
5.Many new nations were born after World WarⅡ.especially in Africa. In 1 960 alone, just one year before Kennedy?s inaugural speech, the following countries in Africa declared their independence:The Republic of Cen— tral Africa,The Republic of Chad,The Republic of Da-homey,The People?s Republic of the Congo。The(jabon Republic,The Republic of Ghana.etc.
6.The people who are in huts and villages are the poor people in backward developing countries in Africa and Asia.(Student give comments on the rest of the answer.)
7.The stated policy of Kennedy towards Latin America is summed up in the phrase “alliance for progress”.Kennedy pledged to take concrete steps to assist these governments and people in casting off the chains of poverty.
8.Kennedy?s policy towards “his adversary” is negotiation from a position of strength.The U.S.must first be strong enough to deter her adversary. From this strong position of absolute military superiority Kennedy proposes negotiating with the socialist camp(or the Soviet Union)on the following problems:a) arms control,b) cooperation in the fields of science,technology,arts and commerce,c)a new world system.

9.He calls on his fellow—Americans to make new sacrifices.to do what his country calls on him to do. He should be prepared to sacrifice everything,even his life if necessary, to defend freedom,to wage constant war against tyranny,poverty,disease and war.The“long twilight struggle”is not a hot war but a constant,persevering fight against tyranny,poverty,disease and the threat of war.
10.There are probably some exaggeration in the claim that freedom was in its hour of maximum danger when Kennedy assumed office.However,it is historically justifiable that Kennedy assumed office at a time when freedom was in a most critical hour.The new president had to face many dangers and crises. At home,freedom was endangered by the witch hunting campaign against government workers accused of being communists started by Senator McCarthy. So Kennedy made himself a strong supporter of civil rights.
Ⅲ. 1. The rhetorical devices employed included: figures of speech,parallel and ballanced structures,repetition of important words and phrases,and antitheses.
2. Yes,the address is well organized.Kennedy addressed his old friends first with sweetest words and then his foes with sharp words.The order is clear and appropriate.
3.In this highly rhetorical address,there are many examples to show that Kennedy is very particular and careful in his choice of and use of words as well as his choice of sentence patterns and structures. For example, in the sentence \offer a special pledge\fears these countries have of their powerful big brother in the north. And in the sentence \our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request\blame for confrontation and world tension on the other party, It suggests that the United States has done nothing to create enemies. It is the other side that is challenging the U. S. , and the latter is forced to take the challenge although it really wants peace.
4.Nermedy carefully made his tone and message suited to the different groups he addresses. In his address there is proclaimed loyalty to old allies to sustain unity, assured help and support to minor friends to keep them closely tied to the U. S. , warning advice to newborns to make them over, and veiled threat, warning and! advice to the enemy camp to check ambitions on the part of the enemies.
5. Among the passages most likely to be quoted: may be \oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty\remember and elegantly pleasant to read aloud, but also a sentence that best expresses the proud feelings of the Americans as the self-appointed leader of the \country\
6. Kennedy' s argument and persuasion is based mainly on e-motional appeal rather than facts. This type of speech would not be successful on all occasions. It can be successful only when the audience is already excited and does not have much time to think or when the audience is already susceptible to the message of the speaker.
IV. 1. Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world. 2. This much we promise to do and we promise to do more.
3. United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.
4. We will not allow any enemy country to subvert this peaceful revolution which brings hope of progress to all our countries.
5. The United Nations is our last and best hope of survival in an age where the instruments of war have far surpassed the instruments of peace.
6. We pledge to help the United Nations enlarge the area in which its authority and mandate would continue to be in effect or in force. 7. before the terrible forces of destruction, which science can now release, overwhelm mankind; before this self-destruction, which may be planned or brought about by an accident, takes place
8. Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war.
9. So let us start once again (to discuss and negotiate)and let us remember that being polite is not a sign of weakness. 10. Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.
11. Americans of every generation have been called upon to prove their loyalty to their country (by fighting and dying for their country's cause).
12.Let history finally judge whether we have done our task welt or not, but our sure reward will be a good con-science for we will have

2.faithful指出于对个人荣誉、友谊或爱情等的珍惜而体现出的信义和忠诚,如a faithful wife(忠实的妻子)。loyal则指因受道德良心或正义感、责任感的驱使而对某人、某项事业或某个组织表现出坚定不移的耿耿忠心,如a loyal friend(忠实可靠的朋友)。constant一般指爱情或事业上的用心专一,不见异思迁,朝秦暮楚,如a constant lover(用情专一的情人)。staunch(或stanch)指为维护某种原则或信念而表现出毫不动摇的意志和决心,如a staunch defender of the truth(真理的坚决捍卫者)。resolute也表示坚定不动摇的决心,不过多指在小事上或为私人目的而表现出的决心,如:She was resolute in her decision to stay.(她决定留下,很难改变。) Ⅷ.tyranny,despotism,terrorism。domination.oppression.iron hand,iron heel, club law,big stick,reign of terror Ⅸ.wealth,riches。opulence,affluence.abundance,prosperity.prosperousness,easy circumstances,richness,opulency

第五课 爱情就是谬误
马克斯舒尔曼
查尔斯.兰姆是一个世所罕见的性情欢快、富有进取心的人,他那笔下的散文《古瓷器》和《梦中的孩子》无拘无束、自由奔放。实在令人难忘。下面这篇文章比兰姆的作品更加自由奔放。实际上,用“自由奔放”的字眼来形容这篇文章并不十分确切,或许用“柔软”、“轻松”或“轻软而富有弹性”更为恰如其分。
尽管很难说清这篇文章是属于哪一类,但可以肯定它是一篇散文小品文。它提出了论点。引用了许多例证,并得出了结论。卡菜尔能写得更好吗?罗斯金呢?
这篇文章意在论证逻辑学非但不枯燥乏味而且活泼、清新、富于关感和激情,并给人以启迪。诸位不妨一读。
——作者注
我这个人头脑冷静,逻辑思维能力强。敏锐、慎重、聪慧、深刻、机智一一这些就是我的特点。我的大脑像发电机一样发达,孳化学家的天平一样精确,像手术刀一样锋利。一一你知道吗?我才十八岁呀。
年纪这么轻而智力又如此非凡的人并不常有。就拿在明尼苏达大学跟我同住一个房间的皮蒂·伯奇来说吧,他跟我年龄相哆’经历一样,可他笨得像头驴。小伙子长得年轻漂亮,可惜脑子里却空空如也。他易于激动,情绪反复无常,容易受别人的影响。最糟的是他爱赶时髦。我认为,赶时髦就是最缺乏理智的表现。见到一 q9种新鲜的东西就跟着学,以为别人都在那么干,自己也就卷进去傻干——这在我看来,简直愚蠢至极,但皮蒂却不以为然。
一天下午我看见皮蒂躺在床上,脸上显露出一种痛苦不堪的表情,我立刻断定他是得了阑尾炎。“别动,”我说,“别吃泻药,我就请医生来。”
“浣熊,”他咕哝着说。

“浣熊?”我停下来问道。
“我要一件浣熊皮大衣,”他痛苦地哭叫着。
我明白了,他不是身体不舒服,而是精神上不太正常。“你为什么要浣熊皮大衣?”
“我本早该知道,”他哭叫着,用拳头捶打着太阳穴,“我早该知道查尔斯登舞再度流行时,浣熊皮大衣也会时兴起来的。我真傻,钱都买了课本,可现在不能买浣熊皮大衣了。”
我带着怀疑的眼神问道:“你是说人们真的又要穿浣熊皮大衣吗?”
“校园里有身分的人哪个不穿?你刚从哪儿来?”
“图书馆,”我说了一个有身分的人不常去的地方。
他从床上一跃而起,在房间里踱来踱去。“我一定要弄到一件浣熊皮大衣,”他激动地说,“非弄到不可!”
“皮蒂,你怎么啦?冷静地想一想吧,浣熊皮大衣不卫生,掉毛,味道难闻,既笨重又不好看,而且??
“你不懂,”他不耐烦地打断我的话。“这就叫时髦。难道你不想赶时髦吗?”
“不想,”我坦率地回答。
“好啦,我可想着呢!”他肯定地说。“只要有浣熊皮大衣,要我什么我都给,什么都行!”
我的大脑一一这件精密的仪器一一即刻运转起来。我仔细地打量着他,问道:“什么都行?”
“什么都行!”他斩钉截铁地说。
我若有所思地抚着下巴。好极了,我知道哪儿能弄到浣熊皮大衣。我父亲在大学读书时就穿过一件,现在还放在家里顶楼的箱子里。恰好皮蒂也有我需要的东西。尽管他还没有弄到手,但至少他有优先权。我说的是他的女朋友波利.埃斯皮。
我早已钟情于波利埃斯皮了。我要特别说明的是,我想得到这妙龄少女并不是由于感情的驱使。她确实是个易于使人动情的姑娘。可我不是那种让感情统治理智的人,我想得到波利是经过了慎重考虑的,完全是出于理智上的原因。
我是法学院一年级的学生,过不了几年就要挂牌当律师了。我很清楚,一个合适的妻子对一个律师的前途来说是非常重要的。我发现大凡有成就的律师几乎都是和美丽、文雅、聪明的女子结婚的。波利只差一条就完全符合这些条件了。
她漂亮。尽管她的身材还没有挂在墙上的美女照片那么苗条,但我相信时间会弥补这个不足。她已经大致不差了。
她温文尔雅——我这里是指她很有风度。她婷婷玉立,落落大方,泰然自若,一眼就看得出她很有教养。她进餐时,动作是那样的优美。我曾看见过她在“舒适的校园之角”吃名点——一块夹有几片带汁的炖肉和碎核桃仁的三明治,还有一小杯泡菜——手指儿一点儿也没有沾湿。
她不聪明,实际上恰好相反。但我相信有我的指导,她会变得聪明的。无论如何可以试一试,使一个漂亮的笨姑娘变得聪明比使一个聪明的丑姑娘变得漂亮毕竟要容易些。
