  The space was instantly filled up again by those advancing behind. The head mounted and began moving through the living stream.

  One of the blackmen, determined to make the crossing as brief as possible, started in a rapid run, but when about half-way through , his foot slipped, and he fell down full length among the creepers(爬虫).

  Former US. Vice President A1 Gore, who came close to winning the presidency two years ago, said he will not run in 2004, and probably will not have another opportunity to seek the White House.

  Though Gore would have been a frightening Democratic(民主党的)main runner, his decision to give up the 2004 race probably helped his party' s chances in the general election against President George W. Bush, Democrats said.

  Many did not want to see Bush-Gore Ⅱ.

  “The last campaign was an extremely difficult one,” Gore told CBS TV show “60 Minutes”. on Sunday.

  While saying he still had the energy and drive to run again, Gore recognized, “There are a lot of people within the Democratic Party who felt exhausted (by the 2000 race)… who felt like, OK, ‘I don't want to go through that again.’ And I'm frankly sensitive to that feeling.”

  In nearly two dozen interviews after Gore announced his plans, Democrats dutifully claimed their party had lost a top candidate, but one after another, they praised Gore for taking an early exit from a primary race he could have won, sparing them a repeat.

  Gore, 54, said he was making his decision “in the full understanding that it probably means that I will never have another opportunity to run for president.”

  Party activists(激进主义分子)blamed Gore for losing despite a booming economy and eight years of a Democratic administration. Gore even lost his home state of Tennessee; a victory there would have given him the White House.

1.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

[  ]

A.Gore Was Criticized

B.Gore Decides Not to Fight Bush in 2004

C.Former US. Vice President Al Gore

D.Al Gore and Gorge Bush

2.Why do you think Gore has decides not to run in 2004 according to this passage?

[  ]

A.Because he is quite old

B.Because many people are against him

C.Because he quite understands the feelings of a lot of Democratic members

D.Because he doesn't want to be President of US

3.What was Gore's feeling when he made his decision?

[  ]

A.Delight
B.Sad
C.Regretful
D.Calm

  The country of Chile is struggling to recover from one of the most powerful earthquakes in history.The quake struck the South American nation early Saturday morning.It registered 8.8 on the Richter scale.Ex-perts say the earthquake in Chile is among the five most powerful earthquakes ever recorded.

  The epicenter of the earthquake is about 70 miles north of the city of Concepci6n.The area has been rocked by dozens of aftershocks since the big quake hit on Saturday morning.

  On Sunday, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet updated reports on the toll the earthquake has taken.“It’s an enormous catastrophe,” she said.Countless buildings and roadways have been destroyed or badly damaged.Rescuers continued to work around the clock to find survivors who may be trapped under the rub-ble of fallen buildings.Government officials estimate more than 2 million people have lost their homes.

  Bachelet assured people that food and medical aid were on the way.Ten thousand members of the Chil-ean military have been dispatched to help in the relief and recovery efforts.Many of the country’s major gro-cery stores have started giving away basic food and supplies to people in the affected areas.Secretary-Gener-al of the United Nations spoke to President Bachelet by telephone.He assured her that the United Nations“stands ready to assist the Chilean government’s rescue and recovery efforts ”.
