The Disaster of Terrorism
恐怖主义的灾难
by Craig Kielburger
New York has an energy of its own, and that late summer evening, I truly understood why. All around me the city was alive with activity as everyone headed in different directions. The Big Apple’s fabled ambition, wealth, and power were on full display, in the sleek cars stopped by the curb, the bright windows of the bustling restaurants, and the studied nonchalance of stylish young people out on the town. As I cut through the financial district, I passed the Twin Towers, shimmering in the streetlights.
Then came the next morning. Even before I heard what was happening, it was clear that something was terribly wrong: there was an unfamiliar edge of desperation to the city’s usual hectic pace. At a friend’s house, uneasy but unsure why, I turned on the TV news. Within seconds, I saw one, then another, plane crash int

Passage Four

Today the study of language in our schools is somewhat confusing. It is the most traditional of scholastic subjects being taught in a time when many of our traditions no longer fit our needs.

Passage Four

If a Mecca exists for today’s youth, it must take the form of a rock concert. Such a colossal event draws people from surprisingly distant places and from oddly diverging lifestyles. The sophisticated college student may be seated next to the wide-eyed junior high cheerleader, the latter showing fright at the approach of a wild-eyed freak. How do these incompatible character types find a mutual appeal in rock concert What induces young people to exchange the few dollars earned through babysitting or car washing for a concert ticket
To many, the answer is immediately obvious—the music is the source of appeal at a concert. The quality of the sound produced, however, frequently casts doubt on this explanation. Unquestionably, rock concertsare loud ; the decibel level of some reportedly exceeds that attained b
