very different now for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God We dare not forget today that we are the heirs 继承人 of that first revolution Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe enemy alike that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century tempered by war disciplined by a hard and bitter peace proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed and to which we are committed today at home and around the world Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price bear any burden meet any hardship support any friend oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty This much we pledge promise solemny and more In the long history of the world only a few generations have been granted the role of 2 defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger I do not shrink from this responsibility I welcome it I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation The energy the faith the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you but what together we can do for the Freedom of Man Finally whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you With a good conscience our only sure reward with history the final judge of our

Commerce Department reported last week that the trade deficit 赤字 in June approached 50 billion it set off a new round of economic doomsaying 末日说 Imports which increasedto 200 3 billion in the month are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product The larger the trade deficit the smaller the GDP Should such imbalances continue pessimists say they could contribute to slower growth But there s another way of looking at the trade data Over the past two years the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double dip recession a renewed decline in the broad level of economic

in shipping trucking rail freight delivery and logistics 物流 have all been reporting better than expected results The rising numbers shows growing vitality in foreign markets when we import more stuff it puts more cash in the hands of people around the world and U S exports are rising because more foreigners have the ability to buy the things we produce and market The rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade sensitive businesses especially those that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price agricultural goods mining metals oil And while exports

piece of growing global demand Unless you want to pick up and move to India or Brazil or China the best way to do that is through trade It may seem obvious but it s no longer enough simply to do business with our friends and neighbors here at home Companies and individuals who don t have a strategy to export more or to get more involved in foreign markets or to play a role in global trade are shutting themselves out of the lion s share of economic opportunity in our world 60 How do pessimists interpret the U S trade deficit in June 5 A It reflects Americans preference for imported goods B

say about the trade data of the past two years A It indicates that economic activities in the U S have increased B It shows that U S economy is slipping further into recession C It signals decreasing domestic demand for goods and services D It reflects the fluctuations in the international market 62 Who particularly benefit from the rising volume of trade A People who have expertise in

for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21 6 Alex Goldberg the program s founder said We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth For example we ve secured internships 实习 with world famous firms such as Honda At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures Kieran Hepburn 14 is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization

change in political and public life It dealt with issues 问题 such as drug abuse violence and unemployment Kieran said It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my

at what I considered a distant wild area western New Jersey My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen teaching English School started but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country Was this 8 rural area really New Jersey My students have a week off when hunting season began I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms I was a young woman from New York City who thought that Make hay while the sun shines just meant to have a good time But still I was teaching English I worked hard taking time off only to eat and sleep And then there was my sixth grade class seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me I had a problem long before I knew it I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior So I did confident that as the textbook had said the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention It sounds reasonable but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans particularly teenagers rarely seem reasonable By the time

Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying but at my 9 next free period I had to face him I wondered if he would let me

English teacher I had been lying to myself pretending that everything was fine When he spoke he said simply without accusation You had nothing to say to them You had nothing to say to them he repeated
