更多"For eight years the Clinton Adminis"的相关试题:
[单项选择]For eight years the Clinton Administration preached the need for exquisite sensitivity to the Russians. They’d had a rough time. They needed nurturing from their new American friends.
They got it. We fed them loans, knowing that much of the money would disappear corruptly. We turned away from atrocity in Chechnya lest we weaken the new Russian state. But most important, we went weak in the knees on missile defense. The prospect of American antiballistic missiles upset the Russians. And upsetting the Russians was something we simply were not to do.
The Russians cannot keep up with American technology. And they fear that an American missile shield will render obsolete their last remnant of greatness: their monster, nuclear-tipped missiles. So they insist that we adhere to a 1972 treaty signed with the defunct Soviet Union that prohibited either side from developing missile defenses. That the treaty is obsolete-it long predates the world of rogue states racing to acquire missile
A. The US withdrawal from the treaty
B. That the treaty is obsolete

[多项选择]It took nearly eight years for the new heart drug BiDil to win approval from the Food and Drug Administration—and it won that approval only after its maker, a small company called NitroMed, repositioned it as a treatment earmarked for African Americans. But if NitroMed thought getting BiDil past the FDA was hard, wait until it tries marketing the drug to its target group. Even during its clinical trials, BiDil ran into resistance. Says Dr. Theodore Addai of Nashville’s Meharry Medical College, who had to enlist black patients for a 2001 trial: "We had to try to persuade them that this was not another Tuskegee. "
He’s referring to the infamous Tuskegee experiment, conducted by the U. S. government from the 1930s to the early ’70s, during which doctors denied nearly 400 black men in Alabama treatment for syphilis in order to observe the disease’s long-term effects. The scars left by Tuskegee are slow to heal in the African-American community, and many blacks remain deeply suspicious
[单项选择]I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived.(76) We had not suffered much from the war there, though like most children of my age, I was used to see-ing bombed houses in the streets and the enormous army lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "before the war" and "when the war’s over." "Before the war," apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over, we would go back to London, but this meant very little to me. I did not remember what Lon-don was like.
