I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury.
I was going along2at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a3scream--- “ Help! ” I looked round, but the only4of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking car just5a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I6speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw7me. As I drew near, the girl’s voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with8.
“Let me go, you coward; you’re hurting me. Oh ! Oh ! ”
I felt my9boil. The fog was coming down10now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no11that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.
“Drop that knife, you fool. Oh ! ” Then a cry and a groan(呻吟).
If I was to save her, it was now or12. Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would at least try to bring the murderer to13. The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its14, and its brakes screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and15into the ditch(沟)at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out .
“You fool!” he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was16than he. I put all I could into17that would have knocked out Joe Louis.

On Sept. 11, an unseen enemy launched an attack on economic, military and governmental
Landmarks(标志) of the United States.
Beyond the tremendous(巨大的) loss of innocent lives and physical property, the attack was clearly aimed at the ideals of America—our values and the economic system that has made the U.S. economy the envy of the world.
Those responsible for these acts portray(描绘)the United States as the embodiment(化身)of all that is evil
With globalization and the worldwide economy it has spawned. They use the failures of globalization as an excuse to exploit their millions of constituents in the underdeveloped world.
Sometime soon, the U.S. military will strike back against those who it is determined have committed these acts. A military response is appropriate – some would say overdue(期待已久). But even if the military objective is achieved, that alone will not get to the heart of the matter.
It is crucial that the U.S. economy return to full speed ahead and continue to be the driving force behind expansion of the global economy.
Globalization, or at least the present phase of it, generally is viewed as having started with the end of the Cold War in 1989. And for all its shortcomings, the free flow of goods, services, capital and labor across the borders of the world’s trading nations — the process that has come to be called globalization—still offers the best chance to fulfill the dreams of so many of the world’s poor
