Baghdad Seeking Support of Arabian World

  BAGHDAD(Reuters)—Iraq(伊拉克)asked Arabs on Monday to seek martyrdom(殉难;牺牲)by attacking U.S. forces in Kuwait(科威特), saying the Americans were preparing to occupy(占领)Iraq.

  “We in Iraq and in the entire(Arab)nation believe that every faithful(虔诚的)Arab has the right, duty, and the honor to deal with these forces in Kuwait, ”a spokesman was replying to the comments by al-Attiya, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council(GCC,海湾合作委员会), in which he turned down an apology by President Saddam Hussein(萨达姆·侯塞因)to the Kuwaiti people for the 1990 invasion(入侵).

  Saddam apologized Saturday for his 1990-1991 invasion of the country, but scolded Kuwait rulers for conspiring(同谋;搞阴谋)with Washington against the Baghdad(巴格达)government.

  Kuwait turned down the apology and said Saddam's message amounted to“incitement(煽动)for terrorism(恐怖主义)”.

  The Iraq spokesman said, “Does Attiya not know that the U.S. forces occupy Kuwait, start from there to destroy the Iraq and kill the Iraqis, and that the U.S. army forces plan to occupy Iraq?”

  The GCC is made up of Kuwait, Saudi Arabian(沙特阿拉伯), United Arab Empires(阿拉伯联合酋长国), Qatar(卡塔尔), Bahrain(巴林)and Oman(阿曼).

  UAE Information Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zaid al-Nahayan said Saddam's speech had cost Baghdad what support it had left in the Arab world.

  “I believe the speech cost the Iraq leadership any pity it had left and further proved the weakness of Iraq's political and media credibility(可靠性;确实性)at a time when Iraq needs to try its best to get rid of the threat of a face-off(对峙), ”Sheikh Abdullah told the official Kuwait News Agency.

  Iraq invaded Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990.U.S.-led united forces drove the Iraq army from the oil-rich state in February, 1991.

  Thousands of U.S. troops have been sent to Kuwait since the 1991 Gulf War. However, these forces have been attacked several times in recent weeks. At least one U.S. soldier has died.

1.It can be inferred that Iraq is ________.

[  ]

  The war against Iraq is a battle between Saddam Hussein and George W.Bush and his ally(盟友), Tony Blair.

  Saddam Hussein, 65, has set up   1   over the past 50 years.For   2   reasons, Saddam has several look-alikes.It’s believed that, since the mid-1990s, Saddam has become unreasonably   3   of being followed after many murderous attempts against him.

  When   4   talk about him, they use only nicknames(绰号)for fear of   5  .They refer to him as “uncle” or “the old man who talks too much”.

  Even though the allied forces   6   by the US drove Iraqi troops out of Kuwait in 1991’s Gulf War, Saddam’s now describing the Gulf War as a   7  

  George W.Bush, 56, is a man of strong   8   and little self-doubt qualities that have made him a   9   leader in the war on terrorism(恐怖主义).He has expressed a personal hatred for the Bush family’s long-time   10  , Saddam Hussein.He’s called the   11   part of an “ axis of evil(邪恶轴心).”

  Since September 11, he has   12   the world that “ you’re either with us, or you’re with the   13  .” The war against Iraq could finish what his   14   started in the 1991 Gulf War.

  Tony Blair, 49, is seen by some as George Bush’s foreign minister, or even his pet dog.He has little in   15   with Bush.While Bush is   16   for his mispronunciation and verbal slips(口误), Blair is regarded as one of the better international speakers of the   17  .He ‘d never talk about his personal life as   18   as Bush does.He’s leading one of the great old working class parties of Europe, the Labour Party, whose   19   are very different from Bush’s.But now his political career depends on whether the war can be won   20   and with few casualties(伤亡)on both sides-and that depends largely on the US president.

Less educated and less poised(沉着的)than his brother William, Britain’s Prince Harry has occasionally found himself on the front pages of some tabloid (小报) for the wrong reason. Harry has admitted drinking underage and smoking marijuana(大麻)in the past. In January 2006, he apologized after being pictured at a costume party dressed as a Nazi. But one thing he has been serious about is going to Iraq to fight with his fellow soldiers. After completing training last year, he demanded a chance to serve.

As a child he collected military toys and his bedroom walls were covered with posters of helicopters and tanks. Despite his youth, the army has always held a special place in his heart.

 “There’s no way I am going to sit back home while my boys are out fighting for their country,” he said in an interview to mark his 21st birthday. “That may sound patriotic(爱国的), but it’s true.” Perhaps this shows new strength in him.

Britain’s Defense Ministry announced last week that the 22-year-old Harry would serve a six-month tour of duty in southern Iraq.

Harry said he was “over the moon” and has insisted he wants to be treated the same as any ordinary soldiers.

In Britain, British Prime Minister Tony Blair described Harry’s decision as in keeping with his character. But in Baghdad, Iraqis described it as a public relations move.

Harry has been the focus of attention in the past few years probably because of________.

A. the identity as a prince of the UK

B. his bad habits and wrong behavior

C. his devotion to his country

D. his preference to the army

By saying “Perhaps this shows new strength in him.”, the author means that Prince Harry changed his image by_______.

A. taking an interest in military   

B. apologizing for a Nazi uniform  

C. being willing to serve in the army in Iraq 

D. defending Britain against attack

The underlined word “over the moon” in the Paragraph 5 means_____.

A. very pleased   B. very sad    C. very frightened   D. very calm

Which of the followings is NOT the reason why he insisted on serving in Iraq?

A. He was more or less affected by his childhood’s interest

B. He has grown up and felt a sense of duty to his country

C. His strong character contributes to his decision

D. He wants to make up for his wrong actions

In Iraqis’ eyes, Harry’s decision to serve in Iraq is_______.

A. patriotic     B. political          C. friendly          D. personal

He had travelled thousands of miles in the hope of earning some money,but 18-year-old Lin Kongming never knew danger was waiting for him.

He and six other migrant workers from Fujian Province spent 36 hours in Iraq as international hostages(人质). But luckily,they were set free last Tuesday morning,unharmed by the people who had taken them hostage.

After hard work by Chinese diplomats(外交官)in the region the Iraqi kidnappers(绑架者)agreed to hand them over to a local religious group.“The friendly relations between the Chinese and Iraqi peoples have played a key role in the release of the hostages,”said Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan. China refused to join the US-led coalition(联军)in the Iraq war.

Since April 4,over 60 hostages from 12 countries,including America,Italy and Japan,have been taken in Iraq. Some have been released, others were killed.

The Iraqi resistance groups have started taking foreigners hostage in an attempt to force the US-led troops out of their country. As a result,many foreigners have left,fearing the situation will get worse. Some nations are also considering removing their troops from Iraq. Thailand has ordered its forces not to leave their camp and may bring them home before September as originally planned. New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark is considering similar action.

But Dan Senor,spokesman for the US-led coalition in Baghdad,said that it would not negotiate(谈判)with “terrorists or kidnappers” to get hostages released.

1.The seven workers from Fujian were set free mainly because ______.

A. they were too poor to pay anything

B. kidnappers didn’t know they were Chinese

C. China didn’t take sides with the US-led coalition

D. kidnappers were friendly to the Chinese

A. To show their anger towards the occupation of foreign troops.

B. To tell the world they would fear nothing.

C. To make foreign armies leave their country.

D. To resist the American troops.

A. wouldn’t give in to Iraqi terrorists or kidnappers

    When he stopped his car at a traffic light in Basra, Bassam Rady noticed the motorbike with two riders on
it passed by him slowly. Suddenly the bike turned round and Mr. Rady, feeling dangerous, tried to drive off.
Before he could, a man on the back of the bike took out a gun from his jacket and fired. The bullet went
through the windscreen and just missed him. As he sped away another shot was fired, but missed the car.
    Mr. Rady was a interpreter for British army in Iraq. As such, his life is in danger from the militia that once
controlled the Iraqi city and is now returning.
    More than a year ago Iraqi soldiers, backed by US, brought peace and stability to Basra by driving militants
over the Iranian border in an operation called Charge of the Knights.
    According to local estimates, however, about half have returned. Although they have not become as active
as before, the militants are trying to shoot Iraqi citizens who worked with British. Most in danger are
translators such as Mr. Rady.
    The 31-year-old father worked with soldiers on dangerous missions but was refused resettlement in Britain
at the end of his employment. He worked with nine translators. Seven of them have been killed.
    "I'm like a cancer patient-now that the militia is back, my family is just waiting for me to die," Mr. Rady
said. "I see reports in the media that Basra is safe but it's not true. I know these militia people. I went to
school with some of them. I didn't see them for a year but now they are around again. They have told me,
'Your day will come soon'." He takes security precautions and never follows a routine. This means that he
cannot work because that would give the militants a better chance of success. 
    Militiamen belonging to the alMahdi Army took control of Basra between 2004 and 2007 with other Shia
fighters. They enforced strict Islamic rules at the same time as running criminal rackets. British army was
unable or unwilling to fight back and eventually went back to their base at the airport.
1. Mr. Bassam Rady was _____.
[     ]
A. a motorbike rider
B. a car driver
C. an Iraqi
D. a British soldier
2. According to the text, which statement is right?
[     ]
A. Iraqi soldiers brought back peace and stability to Basra by driving militants over the Iranian border.
B. Mr. Bassam Rady didn't feel the danger from the two motorbike riders until he was shot at.
C. Most translators like Mr. Rady have to face danger from militants every day.
D. The militants were so strong that British soldiers were unable to fight back.
3. We can draw the conclusion that Mr.Rady's work in Iraq is very _____.
[     ]

A. happy 
B. tiring
C. busy
D. dangerous
