It was 28 each family had learned in church—Love the neighbor as thyself. “You would do 29 for us, ” he told his Japanese friend.
It was not long before the Japanese 30 was transported to a poor landscape in Granada, Colorado. The relocation center consisted of tar-paper-roofed barracks (兵营) 31 by barbed wire and armed guards.
A full year went by. Then two. Then three. While the 32 neighbors were in internment, their friends worked in the greenhouses, the 33 before school and on Saturdays, and the father"s work often stretched to 16 and 17 hours. And then 34 , when the war in Europe had

核心考点
试题【One family, which had emigrated from Japan and settled at the turn of the centur】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The Olympics recovered a bit after "Idol" went off the air, but its overall audience of 18.6 million was the least-watched winter Olympics telecast since Nagano"s closing ceremonies in 1998, Nielsen said.
Since its opening on Friday, the Turin games have been running well below the 2002 Salt Lake City games in viewership interest. Much of that was expected, but Tuesday"s rating was the first alarming sign for NBC that increased TV competition has taken a toll.
"The competition from "Idol" is heavier than the Olympics has ever seen," said NBC Sports spokeswoman Alana Russo.
It doesn"t figure to get any easier, with "Idol" and ABC"s "Lost" on the air Wednesday. CBS" "Survivor" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" offer more competition on Thursday.
Even figure skating, the most popular winter Olympics sport for viewers, didn"t help much on Tuesday. NBC filled about two-thirds of the hour during which it competed with "American Idol" with tape of the men"s figure-skating competition.
Through five nights of Olympics coverage, NBC"s average prime time rating is 12.7 ( a rating point represents 1,102, 000 households, or 1 percent of the nation"s estimated 110.2 million TV homes). NBC said before the games started that it had promised its advertisers a rating of between 12 and 14. If it slips below that, NBC will have to make it up to advertisers with free commercial time.
" ‘American Idol" is clearly a phenomenon," said Randy Falco, president of the NBC Universal Television Group. "But we expected it and are tracking fight where we planned to be at this point." Between NBC and its networks, about 65 percent of the nation"s television homes have tuned in at least some of the games.
小题1:How many viewers watched the Winter Olympics on Tuesday night?
A.110.2 million | B.12.7 million |
C.27million | D.16.1million |
A.To ask the "idol" to go off the air. |
B.To play the tapes of men"s figure skating. |
C.To add "Survivor" to its program. |
D.To do more advertising. |
A.do more advertising for nothing |
B.stop running normally |
C.never cover the Olympics |
D.pay extra money for advertisers |
A.paid off. | B.caused loss. | C.broken out. | D.picked up. |
Regardless of how you feel about the event, one conclusion is obvious. Using the theme of" A Day Without" as a way to focus national attention on a particular subject is a great idea, and could serve as a method for increasing public awareness about other issues that affect daily life in America. Here are my top three examples:
"A Day Without Speeding." How hard could this be? If all drivers would strictly obey every posted speed limit on highways, downtown, on neighborhood streets, and in parking lots for one 24-hour cycle, the benefits would be huge.
"A Day Without Losing Your Temper." A higher degree of difficulty here, and I know that from personal experience. When something goes wrong at home or on the job, there may be brief satisfaction in yelling or kicking the furniture, but erupting with anger usually doesn"t do anything to solve the problem, and in many cases it makes the situation more unpleasant.
"A Day Without Having All The Answers." I would like to get a break from hearing anyone speak the phrase, "Here"s what you"re doing wrong." Right now the US is jampacked with citizens who believe they can point out the cause of every single problem in existence and then solve it on the spot. I believe they need to be quiet sometimes and use their ears instead of their voices.
I wonder how would average Americans react to such a collective pause? Would it be a day of angry protests, or joyful celebrations?

A."A Day Without Immigrants" |

C."A Day Without Speeding" |
D."A Day Without Losing Your Temper" |
A.personal | B.satisfying | C.pointless | D.unpleasant |
A.he thinks the American are too proud |
B.he doesn"t think what he is doing is wrong |
C.he wants others to keep quiet |
D.the writer is so tired that he needs a break |
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit around and talk to sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.
When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”
One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”
