On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it, ” my wife said at once. “Well carry it home on the roof rack. Ive always wanted one like that.” What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening.

One of the officers came to me.“Right, sir, ” he said. “Do you need any more help?” I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, ” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.” He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, ” he said, laughing. “Its a cupboard youve got there!

But shooting massacres (残杀) cast a tragic shadow over the holiday season in the US. On December 5, a gunman killed eight people, before taking his own life, at a shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska. On December 9, five people, including the gunman, died in two attacks in Colorado. While people are busy trying to discover the killers motives (动机), another issue is causing heated debate in the country - the weapon the killers used. The US is one of just a few developed Western countries that allow private possession of guns. Any adult can buy army style weapons from a handgun to an AK-47. “The right to own arms is a part of the Constitution (宪法). Many Americans believe it to be a fundamental freedom,” said Jonathan Haagen, who worked for Teens. When the United States was still a group of colonies, they dealt with a lot of corruption (腐败) from the British. Therefore, American people considered it a great danger for the government to have control of all the weapons. Private gun ownership was important in their fight for freedom. However, with more and more killings in schools and shopping malls, lots of Americans argue that they should do away with the right to bear arms. But the National Rifle Association (NRA) said this position violates (违反) the Constitution. The NRA is fond of saying it is not guns but people who kill. In some cases, this is true. But in many other cases, owning guns is what causes the murder. According to the US Department of Justice, more than 10,000 crimes a year are committed with guns.（1）_ of Private Guns in the United StatesOriginal beliefIt was dangerous for the government alone to control all the weapons.It was important for people to own private guns to (2)_ for freedom.Present situationThe US is one of the few Western countries where any (3)_ has the freedom to possess private weapons.As a result, more than 10,000 crimes are committed with guns (4)_.
