The Peace Corps
The Peace Corps is an independent federal agency of the United States designed to promote mutual understanding between Americans and the outside world. The Peace Corps was
专业技术 资料分享
WORD格式可编辑
established by executive order in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy and approved by Congress as a permanent agency within the State Department later that year. The program came about during the Cold War and was designed to oppose the Soviet challenge to Western influence in the widely open Third World area of superpower competition. More than 180,000 Americans have served in the Peace Corps since its beginning. Purpose & function
The program officially has three goals. The first is to help the people of interested countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained workers. The second is to help promote a better
understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served. And the third is to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.
The Peace Corps works by first announcing its availability to foreign governments. These governments then determine areas in which the organization can be involved. The organization then matches the requested assignments to its pool of applicants and sends those volunteers with the appropriate skills to the countries that first made the requests. Background & history
Since the end of the Second World War, various members of the United States Congress had proposed bills to establish volunteer organizations in the Third World. In 1952 Senator Brien McMahon proposed an \"army\" of young Americans to act as \"bringers of democracy\". Privately funded non-religious organizations had been sending volunteers overseas since the 1950s.
John F. Kennedy first announced his own idea for such an organization during the 1960 presidential campaign at a late-night speech at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on October 14. During a later speech in San Francisco, California on November 1, he named this proposed organization the \"Peace Corps\". Critics of the program (including Kennedy's opponent, and future United States president, Richard M. Nixon) claimed the program would be nothing but a place for young people to hide from military service. Others doubted whether college-aged volunteers had the necessary skills. The idea was popular among most college students, however, and Kennedy continued to pursue it, asking respected academics such as Max Millikan and Chester Bowles to
专业技术 资料分享
WORD格式可编辑
help him outline the organization and its goals. During his opening address as president, Kennedy again promised to create the program.
Established & approved
On March 1, 1961, Kennedy signed an Executive Order which officially started the Peace Corps. Concerned with the growing tide of revolutionary feelings in the Third World, Kennedy saw the Peace Corps as a means of countering the notions of the \"Ugly American\and Asia.
On March 4, Kennedy appointed Sargent Shriver to be the program's first director. Shriver was tasked with fleshing out the organization, which he did with the help of Warren W. Wiggins and others. Shriver and his think tank outlined the three major goals of the Peace Corps and decided the number of volunteers they needed to recruit. The program began recruiting volunteers that following July.
Until about 1967, applicants to the Peace Corps had to pass a placement test that tested \"general knowledge\" (knowledge of various skills needed for various Peace Corps assignments) and language ability. After an address from Kennedy, who was introduced by Rev. Russell Fuller of Memorial Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, on August 28, 1961, the first group of volunteers left for Ghana and Tanzania. The program was formally approved by Congress on September 22, 1961 and within two years over 7,300 Peace Corps volunteers were serving in 44 countries. This number would jump to 15,000 in June of 1966, the largest number in the organization's history.
Early troubles for the Peace Corps
Though the organization was begun with the noblest of intentions, it experienced a big controversy in its very first year of operation. On October 13, 1961, a postcard written by a volunteer named Marjorie Michelmore in Nigeria to her boyfriend in the US caused some problems. In it, she described Nigeria as \"ugly and absolutely primitive in living conditions\". This postcard, however, never made it out of the country. A student at the University College at Ibadan found it and made copies to distribute around campus. Nigerian students accused the volunteers of being spies of the US government. Soon the international press picked up the story and
专业技术 资料分享
WORD格式可编辑
this led several people in the US administration to question the future of the program as a whole. Nigerian students protested the program, and the American volunteers hid themselves away and eventually began a hunger strike. After several days, the Nigerian students agreed to open a dialogue with the Americans. Independent status
In July 1971, President Nixon brought the Peace Corps under the umbrella agency, ACTION. The Peace Corps would remain under ACTION until President Jimmy Carter declared it fully independent in a 1979 executive order. This independent status would be further secured when Congress passed legislation in 1981 to make the organization an independent federal agency. Programs branching out
At this time, the Peace Corps began branching out past its traditional concerns of education- and agriculture-related projects. In 1982, Director Loret Miller Ruppe began several new business-related programs. For the first time, a large number of conservative and Republican volunteers joined the group of overseas volunteers, and the organization continued to reflect the evolving political and social conditions in the United States. Funding cuts during the early 1980s dropped the number of volunteers to 5,380, its lowest level since the organization's early years. Funding began to increase in 1985, and Congress passed an initiative to raise the number of volunteers to 10,000 by 1992. After the September 11, 2001 attacks alerted the nation to growing anti-US feelings in the Middle East, President George W. Bush pledged to double the size of the organization within five years as a part of the War on Terrorism. For 2004, Congress passed a budget increase at $325 million, $30 million above that of 2003 but $30 million below the President's request.
Now, the Peace Corps is trying to double the number of volunteers it sends abroad by 2007. This is in accordance with Bush's request in 2002. According to Joseph Kennedy, \"The American reputation has taken a hit in the last couple of years. The need for the Peace Corps couldn't be more urgent than it is right now, at this moment. The Peace Corps shows what is best in America, the generosity of spirit.\" The Peace Corps is trying to get more diverse volunteers of different ages.

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus
conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket. It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.
In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time.
When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly. 1.

e or dialog.
Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them. As defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure.
Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then
geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.
Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (无情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks. 6.
According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people who are ________.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.
My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent's farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.
I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.
I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things
deliberately: you don't pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you're doing it.

animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won't get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.
Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.
