Hillary ,Clinton, 59, with her famous “I’m in, and I’m in to win.” 2008 Race, began her e-mail to supporters, saying “I want you to join me not for the campaign but for a conversation about the future of our country. Let’s talk.1et’s chat.”
Mrs.Clinton said that she would focus on “practical changes” in foreign, domestic, and national security policy, such as finding “a right end”to the Iraq war , expanding health insurance, pursuing greater energy independence and strengthening Social Security and Medicare, which satisfies many American people.
In her statement, Mrs Clinton also frankly talked about an issue that worries her a lot. Whether she can , in fact, win the presidency, some voters sti1l associate her most with the Clinton government.
“I have never been afraid to stand up for my beliefs,”Mrs.Clinton said on the Website.“After nearly $70 million spent against my campaigns in New York and two wins, I can say I know how Republicans think, how they operate, and how to beat them.”
If successful, she would be the first female nominee(被提名者)of a major American political party, and the first wife of a former president to seek a return to the White House.President Bill CIinton left office in 2000 after two terms rnarked by economical expansion and a series of official examinations of his personal life and the CIintons’ busincss dealings.But the successes and shadows of those years will likely affect Mrs.Clinton.who was once an important adviser and caused some disagreements in his government.

Online Communication

In an age when technology moves faster than most can keep up with, a small group of people still remain in the time of old-fashioned letter. Frankly speaking, I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.

But a story about online communication changed my mind.

An old man, who suffered a lot from Parkinson’s disease, was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name. Living totally alone, he managed to keep in touch with nearly all the members of his family. How did he achieve this? He clicked out words on his computer keyboard.

I, therefore, managed to get an E-mail box as soon as the opportunity came. My life changed. E-mail, and all online communication, is something truly different. It has capabilities(能力) that few other products can match.

E-mail is convenient. It takes less time with its fast speed and 24-hour connection. The slow postal service is no match. If you wouldn’t want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager, you might talk with him through E-mail even if you are in the same office.

Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy. But wait. E-mail can be inconvenient. It can waste time and energy. Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your e-mail box filled with 200 unread messages. You could easily spend half a day clearing junk ads.

Then, online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects us to distant strangers. Once we throw ourselves into the machine, we may forget the human touches we once held so dear. I’m sure there is and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter, phone call, and face-to-face meeting… even in the world of modern communication.

As I listen to the sound of the modem(调制解调器), I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but, at the same time, I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.

1.What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word “junk” in paragraph6?

A. old and useless   B. New and useful   C. Short but valuable     D. Long but clear

2.What does the writer think of online communication?

A. It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.

B. It is perfect and always does good to you.

C. It is extremely useful and convenient, but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.

D. It does more harm than good.

3.What caused the writer to become interested in E-mail and online communication?

A. The sound of the modem.           B. His own illness.

C. The changing of his life.            D. A sick old man’s experience.

4.According to the writer, traditional means of communication will never disappear because ________.

A. they are convenient and popular though they are slow

B. they help to keep the friendly relationship between people

C. most people cannot keep up with the development of technology

D. modern means of communication does too much harm

5.How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members?

A. With the help of his computer.        B. By writing letters with his pen.

C. By making telephone calls.          D. By visiting them regularly.

Words can hurt

I remember the pain most vividly. My stomach was sick, my heart hurt, and my eyes stung(刺痛的) from holding back tears.

“you know, Autumn,” my friend Nick said, “Lisa and Andrea were just talking about you.” I immediately got nervous. “They said that the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach (教练)likes you .It’s not because you’re good.” I might be sick. “They said they’re tired of you always getting what you want.”

I struggled to keep myself from crying, sinking(下沉) to my knees on the cold floor. After Nick told me everything my supposed best friends said about me, I was hurt.

Lisa and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if nothing had happened . Lisa was still my deskmate, and Andrea was still my partner for our history project.

I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had the perfect friendship, especially since they’d said such hurtful things.

I was a freshman in high school, and I felt like I didn’t have a friend in the world, all because of a rumor(谣言).

The tongue can be our worst enemy. Rumors harm confidence(信心) and separate close friends. They are like sharp knives, cutting one’s dignity(尊严) into pieces. When we say unkind things about others, we’re thrusting(插) knives into their hearts.

So how was I to act next? When Lisa and Andrea pretended our friendship hadn’t changed, I thought of attacking them back. But instead, I told them directly that they had hurt me. Lisa started crying and Andrea was speechless. I know they were both sorry for what they had said. They apologized, and I forgave them with grace(优雅). Sure, things were a little awkward(尴尬) at first, but soon enough everything was back to the way it had been before.

I still deal with gossip(流言), sometimes as a recipient(接受者) and sometimes as a participant(参与者). But the more I learn about love, the more I realize the importance of encouraging others- sometimes gossip never does.

I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket,whether it was for speeding,parking or stop sign violations (违反).It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club.

I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work,I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it.

The truth is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted (思想不集中的)that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on.

The policeman was rude and took my papers. Fortunately,I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before,there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”,I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road,perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call.

People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it. Frankly,it never occurred to me. I felt guilty. Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there,as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy.
