Edward Snowden Is on the Run
Does a government have the right to snoop around its citizens' privacy on the pretext(借口)of protecting the country from terrorism? The US has been debating this question for a few days.
On June 9, a 29yearold former CIA employee admitted responsibility for one of the most extraordinary leaks of classified information in US history.Edward Snowden told The Guardian he exposed the documents because he thinks Americans should know how the government has intruded(侵犯)on their privacy.
“I can't be in good conscience of the US government's invasion of privacy，Internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building，” Snowden told The Guardian in an interview.
The development was the latest in a week that saw unauthorized publication of a “Top Secret” order from the US' Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to authorize a collection of domestic telephone records; internal documents and detailed descriptions of a US National Security Agency(NSA)program codenamed PRISM that can obtain data on foreigners from US Internet companies；a directive from US President Barack Obama ordering preparation of a secret target list for cyberwarfare(信息战); and a digital map of the world that shows where the NSA spies the most.
The Guardian said Snowden decided to leak the classified material three weeks ago while working in Hawaii.It said he copied the documents and then told a supervisor that he needed to go away for several weeks due to medical treatment.He left for Hong Kong on May 20.
In the Guardian's interview, Snowden identified himself as an infrastructure analyst(基础设施分析师)at an NSA facility in Hawaii for Booz Allen Hamilton，a major defense contractor.He previously worked for the CIA as a system administrator and telecommunications system officer.
Snowden described enjoying a comfortable lifestyle and a career that included a $200,000(1.23 million yuan)annual salary, and a home in Hawaii that he shared with his girlfriend.
The Guardian said Snowden is considering seeking asylum(政治避难)in Iceland.Hong Kong media reported that Snowden checked out of his hotel room in Kowloon on Monday and flew to Moscow. “Mr. Snowden really did fly into Moscow，” Putin said on an official visit to Finland on Tuesday. “For us it was completely unexpected，” he claimed.
Snowden told the Guardian that he's willing to stand behind his actions in public because he knows he has done nothing wrong. “My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them，” he said.
The Guardian said Snowden is so worried about surveillance that he pads his hotel room door with pillows to prevent eavesdropping(偷听)and drapes a hood(头巾)over his head and laptop to avoid password detection by hidden cameras.
“I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things，” he said in the interview. “We_collect_more_digital_communications_from_Americans_than_we_do_from_the_Russians.” James R. Clapper，the director of the US' National Intelligence，said on June 8 that the Justice Department had launched an investigation into what he called “reckless disclosures of intelligence community measures used to keep Americans safe”，he told NBC during an interview.
The Obama administration has prosecuted six people for illegal disclosures(泄露，揭露)of classified information—more than all other administrations combined.Also，a military courtmartial is underway for Bradley Manning，a formet US Army intelligence officer.He's accused of violating the Espionage Act by giving a large number of classified US military and diplomatic documents to the antisecrecy website WikiLeaks.
1．What kind of life did Snowden live before he left America?
A．He lived with a massive surveillance machine.
B．Every day he padded his hotel room door with pillows to prevent eavesdropping(偷听)．
C．He was in poor health and needed medical treatment.
D．He lived a comfortable life with his girlfriend.
答案 D [细节理解题。文章的第七段开头 “Snowden described enjoying a comfortable lifestyle and a career that included a $200,000(1.23 million yuan)annual salary, and a home in Hawaii that he shared with his girlfriend.”可以知道答案选D。其他几项都是文中随意挑出的原句，背离了题干的内容。]
2．The meaning of the underlined word in the tenth paragraph is “________”．
A．tap phones
B．susceptible
C．survival
D．suspicion
答案 A [词义推测题。我们从后面的结果状语从句 “that he pads his hotel room door with pillows to prevent eavesdropping(偷听)and drapes a hood(头巾)over his head and laptop to avoid password detection by hidden cameras” 可以知道这个词是“监视”的意思。tap phones 意为“监视”，susceptible意为“易感的”，survival意为“生存”，suspicion意为“疑心”。]
3．Which place has Snowden not been to?
A．Hong Kong.
B．Iceland.
C．Moscow.
D．Hawaii.
答案 B [信息查找题。第八段第一句：“The Guardian said Snowden is considering seeking asylum(政治避难)in Iceland.” 可以看出去冰岛只是斯诺登的计划，并没有实施，后面的段落中可以找到他去的三个地方。]
4．What's the meaning of the underlined sentence?
A．Americans are good at surveillance.
B．Russians are good at surveillance.
C．Both Americans and Russians are good at surveillance.
D．Both Americans and Russians aren't good at surveillance.
答案 C [句意推测题。句义是：“我们从美国人那里搜集到的数字通信信息比从俄罗斯人那里收集来的要多得多。”斯诺登之所以把美国人和俄罗斯人对比是因为俄罗斯擅长获取情报，而美国人更强，所以C正确，其他选项迷惑性较大。]

On the Way to School
These days，breaking traffic rules and littering are not uncommon，causing serious harm to life and the environment.Changing this situation requries considerable effort on the
part of everyone.As for me，it should start on my way to school.
I will keep traffic rules in mind all the way.If I ride a bike, I'll always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic light turns green.If I walk，I'll never forget to use the pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile，I will regard it as my duty to help keep our environment clean and healthy.Not only will I keep from littering and spitting anywhere, I will also help clean up the roadside litter whenever possible.I hope my behavior will make a difference.
