Unit 8
Task 1
【原文】
1) Now that we're making every effort to keep criminals from getting guns through
the front door of a gun shop, we're turning our attention to locking the back door,
too. We have started to crack the code of the black market in illegal weapons. We
are tracing the guns, targeting the traffickers, taking more of our children out of
harm's way. (Bill Clinton)
2) We will be marching today for common sense gun laws, but we will not stop with
just marching. We will keep walking; we will keep running; we will keep marching;
we will keep fighting and we will keep organizing until we are successful in our
fight to keep our children safe. (Hillary Clinton)
3) Police officers of course, are not the only people who die. Ten thousand other
Americans are dead because of the misuse of our right to bear arms. People who
argue for guns are fond of saying that guns don't kill; people do. But guns do kill.
(Robert di Grazia)
4) Registration of cars has nothing to do with the incidence of car accidents which, of
course, is the greatest killer of people in the United States, including children. And

News Item 1
British police say thousands of gun owners have surrendered their small calibre
weapons as part of legislation banning some types of handgun. The deadline to hand
in the weapons which has just passed is the final stage in the clampdown on gun
ownership following the massacre of 16 school children and a teacher at Dunblane in
Scotland in 1996. The police estimate that 40,000 weapons have been surrendered,
meaning that the vast majority of legally held guns have been given up. But as
Inspector Paul Brightwell, a policeman from southern England, points out, many
owners are still angry about the bans. Although Britain now has some of the strictest
firearms laws in the world, correspondents say the government may still look to
introduce further restrictions.

News Item 2
More than one hundred thousand mothers across the United States gathered here
in Washington Sunday to push for tougher gun control laws. Organizers of the
so-called Million Mom March are hoping to harness growing outrage at the number of
children killed by handguns here in the United States.

Gun control! When do we want? Now! What do we want? Gun control! When do we
The protesters—mothers, victims of gun violence and families—came from
across the United States to hear heartbreaking stories of children who had been
gunned down. One mother described the pain she felt after her young son received a
crippling gunshot wound to the chest. In an emotional appeal, she urged the crowd to
vote for members of Congress who support gun control.
votes. Let's make our tears become a raging river of votes, and we need to get our
Organizers of the Washington rally and others held in cities across the United
States say at least 12 children a day are killed by guns. They want Congress to enact
laws that will require registration of handguns and some type of licensing system. US
gun control laws vary from state to state. Ant nationwide registration is strongly
opposed by the National Rifle Association, a wealthy and powerful nationwide group
of firearms owners who reject any type of gun control.

1) The dossier will show locations of sporting events, media centers, and an Olympic
village.
2) The tried and tested quality of Paris’ famous sporting infrastructure is a big
advan tage. Moreover, it’s been many years since France hosted the Olympic Games
in 1924.
【原文】
The last time Paris had the honor of hosting the Olympic Games was way back
in 1924. Having lost out to Beijing for the right to stage the Games in 2008, the
French capital is now optimistic it can win the bid for the 2012 Olympics. The nine
cities in contention have until mid-January to give details of their proposed venues.
And the organizers in Paris can point to the fact that most of their facilities are already
in place.
Competition is fierce among the nine cities bidding for the 2012 Games who all
have until January the 15th to give the IOC a dossier showing locations of sporting
events, media centers, and an Olympic village. London, New York, Moscow, Madrid,
Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Leipzig and Havana are all hopeful of staging the world's
greatest sporting festival. But experts reckon that Paris is the early favorite.

Preparation is key when it comes to hosting the Olympic Games. Barcelona and
Sydney both proved how to stage one. It's been almost 70 years since the summer
Olympic experience took place on French soil. Having lost out to host the Games in
2008, the organizers within Paris are optimistic about their chances for hosting the
2012 Olympics.
Integral to Paris' bid is the tried and tested quality of its renowned sporting
infrastructure. Soccer matches, for instance, would be held in the northeast suburb of
Saint-Denis, home of the 78,000-seat Stade de France, where France beat Brazil three
nil in 1998 to win the World Cup. The stadium is also the likely setting for the
Olympic track and field events, with the media center being erected alongside it.
Tennis matches would be well catered for at the famous red clay courts of Roland
Garros, home to the French Open, the most likely location. Whilst the equestrian
events could be held within the famous Longchamp Racetrack, which hosts the
prestigious Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe each year. With around 150 acres of Pads real
estate available in the city's Seventeenth District, the Athletes' Village could easily be
adapted, not far from Longchamp.
Paris city authorities estimate the cost of hosting the 2012 Games at $ billion.
That’s nearly twice as much as estimated for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. But if that
generates just a fracti
