Lesson 1 The Wild W est’s Legacy of ShameBy John Halford1. THE LEGENDS of the Wild West still color many people’s impression of the United States of America. Unfortunately, the romanticized Hollywood cowboys and Indians have given a distorted picture of what really happened.2. Certainly, America’s western expansion was in many ways an epic of courage and en-durance. Dogged pioneers opened up new territory and forged a nation from the wilderness. This is the stuff of legends. But there was a dark side to this story. For the Indians it was a sad, bitter tale of misunderstanding, greed and betrayal — and we should know that too.3. Before 1990 fades from memory, let’s pause to remember December 29 as the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Wounded Knee. Thi s “battle” (it was more of a massacre) marked the completion of the conquest of the North American Indians by the United States government.Not Enough Indians4. In the early days of settlement along the Atlantic shore the colonists and the Indians got along together. Their ways of life were different, but there was room for both.5. The Indians were not unorganized hostile savages. The various tribes were often confederations or nations, and at first, the new settlers treated them as independent powers. But as European settlement gathered momentum, mistrust began to build.6. It was not long before the newcomers outnumbered the native peoples (It has been estimated there were only about a million Amerindians in the continent north of what is now Mexico).7. In the struggle between the French and the British for control of North America (1689— 1763), and in the later Revolutionary War (1775—1783) between the British and the Colonists, the Europeans tried to win the support of the Indians.8. They became pawns in the white man’s struggle to control North America. Those who found themselves on the losing side suffered reprisal s by the victors.9. By the end of the 18th century, the independence of the United States was established, and George Washington admonished Congress: We are more enlightene d and more powerful than the Indian nations. It behooves our honor to treat them with kindness and even gen-erosity.10.But that’s not what happened. Might became right①, and from the beginning of nationhood of the United States, the native people were exploited, forced from their homelands by the relentless European expansion —usually after signing agreements and treaties they did not really understand.11. The white man’s concept of land ownership was alien to the Indians. They thought they had agreed to share, only to find that they had signed away the rights to live in their traditional territory.12. Eventually, the government decided it would be in everyone’s best interest for the two peoples to live apart. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 gave the president power to relocate all the Eastern Indian tribes west of the Mississippi on land the new Americans thought they would not need.13. None were to be exempted even those tribes who had made an effort to learn the white man’s ways were forced to move. The Cherokees, for example, were settled farmers, had developed an alphabet, and even published a newspaper in their own language.14. But the Cherokees, along with the Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles②, were rounded up and herded off to “Indian Territory.” One in four Cherokees died during the forced winter migration along what became known as the “Trail of Tears.”Broken Promises15. Under the agreement, land to the west of the Mississippi was to be the Indians’ home land for “as long as the grasses grow, and the waters flow.” Or rather, until the restless young nation wanted the land for itself.16. Even before the treaties were ratified, the “permanent Indian frontier” was moved farther west. Over the course of decades, agreements were renegotiated, broken, amended, reratified and broken again.17. The dispossessed eastern tribes, pushed farther and farther west into the Great Plains region, became refugees in the territory of the still free and culturally different Indian nations of the Plains.18. The Plains tribes were the quintessential storybook Indians —proud, fierce, magnificent horsemen, skillful hunters and fearless warriors. For centuries they roamed the magnificent wilderness that was to become Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas.19. Romanticized history has portrayed them as noble savages who blocked the path of the bold pioneers.20. Not really. The Plains Indians also tried to accommodate the relentless encroachment on their hunting grounds. As the white man pushed ever westward, fencing the land and deci-mating the buffalo herds, the Indian nations struggled to hold on to their way of life.21. They signed treaties; they tried to move out of the way. When cornered they fought back, bitterly and desperately, until, exhausted and discouraged, they would accept the terms of yet another fragile treaty, soon broken.22. The Indian wars were an ugly episode in the history of the United States. Both sides fought grimly, usually mercilessly. They plundered, tortured and slaughtered; often the vic-tims were unarmed women and children.23. The conquest of the West, usually portrayed as a valiant struggle, was in reality a cruel, particularly vicious war. Indian braves were not always the noble warriors of legend, and the U. S. cavalry often acted out of ruthlessness rather than courage and chivalry.24. Unfortunately Hollywood Westerns have made heroes out of some rather bloodthirsty characters. The real heroes were those voices of reason on both sides who tried to stop the bloodshed.25.The way of life of the two peoples, however, had become so different, and the feelings of mistrust and hatred too strong.26. The struggle ended near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, where the last desperate remnant of Sitting Bull’s Sioux③had been rounded up after leaving the Pine Ridge Reservation.27. On the bitterly cold morning of December 29, 1890, as the Indians were being dis-armed, a young brave (who may have been deaf) refused to hand over his rifle. In the ensuing struggle, the weapon discharged.28. The soldiers opened fire, and when it was over at least half the Indians lay dead or seriously wounded in the snow. Skirmishes continued even into the early years of this century, but Wounded Knee represented the end of Indian resistance.The Trail of Tears29.The once proud Indian nations became an embittered minority, confined to reservations, second-class citizens in their old homelands. Some, like the Navaho and the Sioux, endured to preserve a strong identity.30. Other tribes withered and died, remembered only by a name on the map, or the faded artifacts in a dusty corner of a pioneer museum. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 guaran-teed full citizenship to all Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States, and today, all American Indians have full civil rights.31. Yet most still choose to live apart, preserving what they can of their way of life. Significant numbers have shared in the American dream. But for many others, reservation life has meant despair, frustration and alcohol abuse.32. The bountiful and practically empty New World had ample room for both peoples to work out their differences peacefully. But history shows that native people are seldom treated fairly by a stronger civilization.33. Arguably, the North American Indians may have fared better than some other indigenous peoples on other continents. They were never the victims of a deliberate policy of slavery, or genocide, as has happened elsewhere. But that is not the point.34. The United States was founded on the lofty principles of freedom and justice for all. But lofty principles ought to be lived up to.35. The Bible tells us that r ighteousness exalt s a nation, not broken treaties, greed and exploitation. Might is not necessarily right for a God-fearing nation (as the United States of America claimed — and claims—to be).36. The Bible teaches that a treaty is a treaty, not to be taken lightly, and certainly not to be unilaterally abandoned when its terms become inconvenient.37. The story that ended at Wounded Knee 100 years ago is a stain on America’s record. We tell that story, not to open old wounds, not to fan new flames of resentment. But to remind us how easy it is for a people flushed with success to become desensitized to the disadvantaged.38. It is unfortunate that the conquest of the Wild West is universally regarded as a glorious saga of courage and opportunity. It was rather, just another sad, violent chapter in the long history of man’s inability to share with, cooperate with and love his neighbor as himself.From The Plain Truth,④January 1991①Might became right强权即为公理②But the Cherokees, along with the Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles--- Cherokee：北美印第安彻罗基部落；Creek：以马斯科吉部落为主的美国印第安人一个大部落---克里克人；Choctaws：印第安人的巧克陶族；Chickasaw：美国马斯科吉印第安人一个部落---契克索人；Seminole：印第安人塞米诺尔族。

Lobbyist7. The House of Lord8. the House of Commons9. Senate10. Secretary of StateII. Read the following passage and then choose the right answer to each question 30%GOING BACK AND GETTING IT RIGHTBy almost every measure, Paul Pfingst is an unsentimental prosecutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try suspect Charles Andrew Williams, 15, as an adult for the Santana High School shootings. Even before the tragedy, Pfingst had stood behind the controversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults.So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A. in the U.S. to launch his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June, Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape convictions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words, he wanted to revisit past victories--this time playing for the other team. "I think people misunderstand being conservative for being biased," says Pfingst. "I consider myself a pragmatic guy, and I have no interest in putting innocent people in jail."Around the U.S., flabbergasted defense attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among prosecutors, however, there was an awkward pause. After all, each DNA test costs as much as $5,000. Then there's the unspoken risk: if dozens of innocents turn up, the D.A. will have indicted his shop.But nine months later, no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted. Only the rare case merits review. Pfingst's team considers convictions before 1993, when the city started routine DNA testing. They discard cases if the defendant has been released. Of the 560 remaining files, they have re-examined 200, looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still claim innocence.They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man serving 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the victim's shirt--too small a sample to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. Inspired by San Diego, 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits.

但是就其典型特征而言，人们的意见基本一致。
Suburbs are middle-class family values expressed in stucco, brick and carpet grass.郊区体现的是中产阶级的家庭价值观，表现在粉饰的墙壁，砖结构的房屋，还有如茵的绿草。
They're all the things that America's noisy, diverse, striving, poor cities are not.它们与城市的情况完全不同，没有声音嘈杂，成分复杂，努力打拼、贫困依旧的问题。
Para. 3They no longer represent a retreat from the tumult of American life, but the locus of it.它们不再代表着远离美国喧闹生活的僻静之地，其本身已成为充满喧嚣骚乱的地方。
Para. 5The foreclosure rate in Clayton County, which encompasses many of Atlanta’s southern suburbs, is twice as high as that in Atlanta. 克莱顿县环绕许多亚特兰大市南部郊区，这里回赎率比亚特兰大高出一倍。
回赎权就是当债务人（业主）无力履行抵押合约，或无法清偿债务时，而被债权人经由各种司法程序向法院申请强制执行，将债务人名下房屋拍卖，以拍卖所得偿还债务。
Para. 6nonprofits 非盈利机构/组织Inner city （大城市常存在社会、经济问题的）市中心贫民区affordable housing 买得起的住房，经济适用房, 保障性住房Washington needs to recognize that suburban governments are being flattened by the housing crisis—they don't have the experience or the capacity to slow the tide of foreclosures or deal with neighborhoods strafed by vacancies.联邦政府需要弄清楚郊区政府正被住房危机打垮，因为它们没有经验和能力，无法减缓住房回赎权取消的浪潮，也无法应对社区住房空置的问题。
The Feds need to use some of the billions in recovery funding to help local governments buy up foreclosed properties and put that land to productive use.联邦政府需要从数十亿用于恢复经济的资金里拿出一部分，以帮助地方政府全部购入丧失抵押品赎回权的房产并使那些土地有效使用。
Para. 7Washington should support regional clusters for high-tech industries and other sectors.美国政府/联邦政府应该支持高科技企业和其他行业聚集区的发展。
Federal job-training funds should reflect the way metropolitan economies actually work: in clusters of firms that span boundaries.联邦就业培训基金应该反映出都市经济行为的方式：企业集群，打破界限。
Para. 8We need to create walkable communities and more public transit to link people in the burbs to jobs, schools, concert halls and sports fields that may be in the next neighborhood, the next municipality or the next county.我们需要建立适合步行的社区并提供更多公交线路方便郊区人们到临近区域或者城乡地区工作、学习、去音乐厅享受或者到体育场锻炼。
Para. 10Our leaders, starting with a metro-minded president, now have to make the mental jump across the urban-suburban boundary, and catch up. 我们的领导者，开始时都把眼光放在大都市上，现在应该转换下思路，跨越城郊界限，与时俱进。

A“perfect storm” is a rare combination of events or circumstances creating an unusually bad situation.The idiom is derived from the 1997 Sebastian Junger’s nonfiction book, The Perfect Storm, about a fishing-boat crew encountering a confluence of several storms at sea.Samuel ―Sam‖ Zell(born September 1941) is a U.S.-born billionaire and real estate entrepreneur. He is co-founder and Chairman of Equity Group Investments股本集团投资, a private investment firm. With an estimated net worth of $5 billion, he is ranked as the 68th richest American by Forbes.Para. 2Debates about whether the industry's decline has been due to a cyclical slowdown or a secular shift of readers and advertisers to the internet have been rendered moot by an economic and financial crisis threatening revenues and publishers' ability to refinance.由于经济和金融危机威胁着收入和出版商的再融资能力，有关报业的衰落是因为周期性放缓、还是读者和广告商长期流向互联网的争论，已难以形成结论。
Para. 3―The amount of financial leverage these companies have undertaken takes its toll when you're under cyclical and secular pressures.‖ “在处于周期性和长期压力下时，这些公司所承担的财务杠杆数量带来了损失。
