TV pictures tell the story of a country in ruin and poverty, a country brought almost to total destruction by twenty years of war and struggle. Yet oncethough poorthis was a proud nation, anda beautiful coun

9、try, and one with a rich cultural heritageApart from the nations of Europe, there are few countries in the world that have never been under colonial ruleor at least never in recent times; Afghanistan was one of them. Many centuries ago, Genghis Khans troops rode down from Mongolia, mercilessly killi

10、ng the mountain tribesmen of Afghanistan who dared to resist the invader; but apart from this humiliating period in time, the Afghanistans-who are in fact a mixture of three separate ethnic groups-have held their heads high in the face of invasion.The country that is now at the center of the worlds

11、attention was once one of the worlds proudest nations, and a nation that other countries invaded at their own risk. In the 19th century the armies of the British Empire knew that Afghanistan was not a country to interfere with.A hundred and twenty years ago, in 1881, British soldiers were nonetheles

12、s stationed in the Afghan capital, Kabul. They were there for two reasons, firstly to help stop the Russians from invading the country, and secondly to ensure the existence of an independent buffer-state between the Russian Empire to the north, and the British Empire in India (modern Pakistan) to th

13、e south east.Queen Victoria would have liked to add Afghanistan to her empire, but her soldiers never succeeded in this mission, though they tried, and failed. In 1879, the whole British Mission (embassy) in Kabul, including servants, was massacred by a group of rebel Afghan soldiers, furious becaus

14、e they had not been paid by their own king, Mohammed Yacoub. Yacoub was friendly to the British, so the British got the blame. The story of the Kabul Massacre was remembered for a long time by the British in India, and recorded by several Victorian writers and poets.Other bloody events also marked t

15、he relationship between the British and the Afghans in the 19th century. In 1842, in the notorious battle of the Khyber Pass, a complete British army was massacred by Afghans as they returned from a short raid into the country. Just one man, a doctor, managed to survive the massacre, and make his wa

16、y back to the safety of India, to tell the story of the terrible event.Though the world has changed a lot since Victorian times, Afghanistan has changed little. In many ways, the Taliban have even moved the country back in time, a dark age of ignorance, intolerance and repression; but even without t

17、he Taliban, Afghanistan would still, today, be one of the worlds most undeveloped nations. Land-locked, aside from most modern routes of communication, and broken up by the mighty Hindu Kush mountains and by vast deserts, Afghanistan, like the tribal territory* of northwest Pakistan, has remained fi

18、ercely independent from outside interference, and strongly attached to its traditional ways.For the last twenty-five years, the Afghan people have suffered from war and destruction: the overthrow of the monarchy, then the invasion by the Soviet Union in 1978, then the war against the Soviets, then t

19、he struggle for control of the country between the Taliban and the supporters of General Massoud, now the massive departure of a people on the verge of starvation, driven from their homes as much by fear of the Taliban as by the threat of military invasion.Yet in spite of all this, despite the destr

20、uction of a large part of their country, the Afghan people remain kind and hospitable. Older Afghans remember back to a past, when they lived in peace and relative security; younger Afghans, who have never known an era of peace, look forward to the day when a new age of peace will come. Hopefully, t

21、hat new dawn will not be too far away.Statements: FTETFEFFTF1. Afghanistan used to be a peaceful country that never suffered from any foreign invasion.2.

The entire British Mission in Kabul was cruelly killed because they wanted to prevent the British from invading Afghanistan.6. Quee

If it were not for the Taliban, Afghanistan would have already become a developed country.9. Now many Afgh

25、 an attractive thing people chase after, because it always brings wealth, admiration from others and high social status. However, there are also other people who hold a negative view toward fame and I am one of the latter.In my opinion, fame is not only a burden, but also a trap. Usually people gain

26、 fame because they possess a single talent or skill: singing, painting, or writing, etc. These people develop a style that make them distinctive and gain popularity. In order to keep this popularity, they have to continue performing in the same way, since this is what the public want. However, as ti

27、me goes on, the singer may become bored singing the same songs in the same way, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, but the demand of the public doesnt allow them to make changes; if the artist attempts to change his or her style of writing or dancing or singing, the p

28、ublic may abandon him or her. As a result, the artist cant make his or her decision but has to live a life they dont want. Thus chasing fame is just like an animal chasing its own tail and when he captures it, he does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.In one word, fame is more like

29、 a trap than a blessing and I dont want it myself.UNIT21. The schoolmaster the girs bravery in his opening speech.A) applauded B) applied C) elevated D) exploded2.

38、 remember reading here about the fifth-grade pupil who wanted to call home from school but didnt know how to use the dial phone, and the ice cream parlor that had to close because the computerized cash register broke down.These stories suggested that young people are almost wholly dependent on state

39、 of the art technology, and also that we older people are becoming obsolete or outdated along with the machines of our era.Perhaps it is the latter that hurts.John A. Ju not wants to know whether, if my car broke down, I would know how to ride a horse.I might be willing to try. But the problem is -

40、where could I ride one?Ju not suggests that I would either get the car repaired or replace it. That is what todays young engineers do when their computers break down, he points out.In that respect I am as dependent on modern technology as the young, I have allowed myself to become wholly dependent o

41、n my computer, and when it breaks down I am like a man cast adrift at sea in a small boat.Cultures do not lose arts and skills/* Ju not argues.They abandon them. Calculating by slide rule is in exactly the same class as archery, blacksmithing, sailing, hand-weaving and drawing. To the extent that th

42、ose things are done, they are done by hobbyists, historians and cultural anthropologists and are preserved mainly by librarians/Ju not points out that certain ancient skills, such as archery and sailing, are themselves improved by modern technology.4,Robin Hood probably couldnt shoot one of todays g

43、raphite （石墨）/epoxy （环氧的）compound bows.He says: MAnd so to that fifth-grader who didnt know how to dial-type phone, you imply that the boy was somehow culturally deprived, and that it would *come in handy if he learned.“I fail to see how. Rotary-dial phones are going the way of high-button shoes; the

44、y are uncommon now and doomed to extinction simply because you cant talk to computers with a rotary-type phone.Ju not points out that the first computers are already obsolete. I know what he means. I bought the first IBM Personal Computer on the market. Recently I blew what is known as the Mmother c

45、ard.* It was replaced by a more advanced clone card that is not perfectly compatible with my machine. I have had little but misery with it ever since.Ju not says it would have been impossible for the ice cream clerks to go on doing business, making their calculations by hand, when their computerized

46、 register failed.Well, before cash registers were invented, business was done that way. And employees stole because it was easy. Cash registers were invented precisely to keep employees honest, and to protect them from charges of dishonesty.Furthermore, computerized receipts are used for computing s

47、ales tax and the printouts for people buying on expense accounts. Are you suggesting that the kids give the businessman and the tax man numbers scribbled on the backs of paper sacks? The manager was probably only following the company policy when he closed the store.MMEvidently, then, we have seen t

48、he end of mental calculations. Those fast-food computers even note the amount of money the customer pays and also the exact amount of change due. The clerk doesn*t even have to figure out how much change is due from a $10 bill, nor does the customer, since he can assume that the computer doesn*t err.MIfs OK with me. I never was any good at arithmetic, anyway, and Im glad I have lived long enough to see it become obsolete.Meanwhile, Barbara Jones of Santa Barbara wonders how children can ever learn how to tell time when all they see are digital watches.And Sally Wade wonde
