Obama gets Nobel for contributions to peace

US President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize October 9 for his calls to reduce the world's nuclear weapons and work for world peace.

Since taking office in January as the African American president, Obama has called for the cutting of nuclear weapons and worked to restart the Middle East peace process.

The prize, worth $1.4 million, will handed over to Obama in Norway on December 10. Obama will also get a gold medal and a diploma.

The Nobel Committee said it attached special importance to Obama's work for a world nuclear weapons.

" Only every rarely has a person to the same extent(程度) Obama captured(引起) the world's attention and given its people hope for better future," the Nobel Committee said.

People had guessed Obama might be the winner before the award, many Nobel watchers believed it was early to award the president.

B
The year was 1985. Ronald Reagan was president. Mikhail Gorbachev became leader of the USSR. Back to the Future was boffo at the box office. “Born in the USA” was climbing the charts. Philanthropy(慈善业) and pop culture combined with LiveAid and “We Are the World.” And “.com”, which few people outside of the military or universities knew, came into this world.
Looking back, few could have predicted “.com” would become one of the biggest cultural touchstones of the century. In March 1985, the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California assigned the first .com domain address to symbolics.com. That seemingly nominal（象征性的） event set into motion forces that would change our world forever.
.com wasn’t the birth of the Internet, but it was the budding computer network’s coming-out party. It made it pretty and inviting. It did away with the need to have complex “maps” that were the equivalent of writing a phone number on your hand, and opened it up for a mainstream audience.
After 1985, all it takes is a simple .com name to get into business. “.com” became part of our daily lexicon and drove its own economic boom and depression. It helped create a whole new family of industries, facilitated global commerce and connected people around the world in ways never before possible.
It’s now 2010. Barack Obama is president, thanks in part to his smart use of the Internet. There is no USSR. A computer-generated Avatar has set new box office records. “TiK ToK” tops the charts. We’re sending robots to find water on Mars. And that once-obscure computer communications system is one of our civilization’s most prominent features.

A．addressed B．delivered

C．spoke D．recited

You might say that Barack Obama was elected President of the US because he knows how to give a good speech.

The people who heard it would remember it for a long time.

Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express difficult ideas in a straightforward, natural way.

Before becoming President, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer---his two memoirs have become best-sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker.
