Al had been working in this factory only eleven months, but he excelled at everything he did. He looked for new tasks-as an opportunity to gain experience. To him, mistakes were not to be denied but considered an opportunity to learn. He was, by far, the most capable man among his workmates, One day, when he was finishing his work of the day, he heard Jack calling him.
“What are you going to do about…?” asked Jack.
“I’ll come off the end rail,” interrupted Al.
“No, I mean about Joe’s promotion?”
“I’m going back to school,” Al said.
“Excuse me!”
“I’m going back to school,” Al repeated.
“You mean you’re quitting!”
Was it that simple? Is this why there was so much misery in men’s lives? “I’m going back to school” was just an excuse, and Al knew it, thought Jack, or Al would not be drunk. It seemed that Al would rather get drunk than fight for his happiness. But why? Jack had no answer.
“Yes, and I’m going back to school. I don’t know what else to do. I can’t believe that this kind of thing can happen. Maybe if I get more education and a better job, it will be different.”
“Do you really believe that?”
“Well, what do you want we to do?” Al was getting angry: “I can’t stay here! I can’t work where the most incapable get the biggest reward! I can’t kill Joe and the boss like…”
Al stopped. They both knew what this meant.
“Like I did?”
Al did not answer.
“Yes, I killed two men with my bare hands; yes, I got punished and lost my job-but I kept my soul!”
Al undertood the hidden statement. Al did not know whether it was his anger, or the beer, or both that made him less cautious in the face. He held his hands firmly. Then be heard Jack: “You’ve got the right idea, Al. You’ve got to fight.”
Al needed to think. Instead of taking the subway, he walked five miles back home. By the time he entered his bedroom, he climbed into bed. Turned off his mind, and fell asleed.

Word came on Friday that U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, and he would join the ranks of history's great persons as the newest Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The Nobel prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who bought the greatest benefit to mankind during the previous year.” Quite a lot of people have been awarded the prize, such as Mother Theresa, Ghandi, FDR …
On Oct. 9, Friday, Obama said that he was surprised to learn that he won the Nobel Peace Prize of 2009, which he saw as a “call for action.” Speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden of the White House, he said he was “both surprised and deeply humbled” to accept the award and didn't view it as recognition of his own accomplishments. He also said he would travel to Oslo to accept the prize on Dec. 10.
Rather, the prize should be regarded as recognition of the goals he set for the United States and the world. “I will accept this award as a call for action, a call for all nations to face up to the common challenges of the 21st century,” Obama said, “the challenges, including nuclear nonproliferation(防止核扩散), fighting against climate change and energy crisis, can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. That is why I have been working to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek.” he said.
Obama is the fourth U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the third sitting president to do so. “The president will donate the entire $1.4 million prize to charity,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, “but hasn't decided yet which organizations will share the windfall”
Reactions to his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize are mixed both in and out of the United States. Some like former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2002, said Obama's award is “a bold statement of international support for his vision and commitment to peace and harmony in international relations.” However, Former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the prize in 1983, questioned whether Obama deserved it now. And U.S. Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele remarked that Obama won the prize as a result of his star power rather than meaningful accomplishments and the real question Americans were asking was what he has actually accomplished. “So soon and too early. He has done nothing but joy ride and give teleprompter (讲词提示机) speeches so far. He is still at an early stage. He is only beginning to act,” said Walesa, a netizen.
71. The underlined phrase “the third sitting president” probably means ________.
A. the third president alive. B. the third president in power.
C. the third president who loves peace. D. the third president who donates the prize.
72. Those who questioned Obama’s winning of the Nobel Peace Prize held the following opinions except that ______.
A. it was a call for action B. it was so soon and too early
C. he won because of his star effect D. he had no contribution
73. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. Obama considered that he did deserve the prize.
B. Obama hadn’t expected that he would win the prize.
C. Obama felt that the prize was a call for him to do more.
D. Obama regarded the prize as recognition of what he had done.
74. Reactions to Obama’s winning of the Nobel Peace Prize are mixed because _______.
A. people think Obama shouldn’t be awarded the prize.
B. Obama is the first black president in the United States
C. the challenges of the world can’t be met by any one leader.
