哈维．米尔克(HARVEY MILK)由街道组成的城市A City of Neighborhoods美国梦是从街道开始的。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------哈维．米尔克(1930－1978)是第一个被选入旧金山市管理委员会的公开的同性恋者。

三次竞选失败后，米尔克于1977年代表卡斯特罗区──一个不同种族的人杂居的地区──入选市管委会。

对许多当地居民来说，这个区就像一座小城。

他们不欢迎市区再建。

尤其不欢迎用推土机铲平街道，代之以高楼大厦的做法。

米尔克的选民们对是否能保存他们生活的特点，避免发生在其它大城市中已毁了街区的衰败现象感到疑虑，忧心忡忡。

米尔克意欲爲同性恋问题以及美国城市街道复兴而大声疾呼。

然而1978年11月27日哈维．米尔克和乔治．莫斯肯市长被一名心怀仇恨的前市管委会成员暗杀。

哈维．米尔克在就任市管委会职务后不久在一次募集基金的宴会上发表了以下这篇演讲。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------……对这－点我们可别弄错：美国梦是从街道开始的。

如果我们要重建城市，我们就必须首先重建街道。

而要这麽做，我们就必须认识到，生活的品质比生活的标准更重要。

坐在门前台阶上──不论它是－座小城住宅的游廊还是一个大城市住宅的混凝土门廊──与我们的邻居闲聊，要比挤坐在起居室的躺椅上看一个顔色失真的虚假世界重要得多。

进步并非美国的唯一事业──当然也不是它最重要的事业。

随着技术的发展，生活的品质下降了，这岂不是咄咄怪事? 哦，洗盘子更容易了。

正餐本身也更方便了──只须加热，端上饭桌，虽说若是我们吃了广告扔掉食品，营养或许更丰富。

当客人来访时，我们再也不怕玻璃器皿上会有污点了。

And they are highly sensitive to the way in which they are treated. If the G enX’er believes that his employer is not making a commitment to him, he will leave.3.The survey found that more than 70 percent of them rated companionship, a loving family and enjoying life as extremely important. In contrast, fewer than 20 percent of them said earning a lot of money and becoming an influential leader were extremely important goals.4. According to Robert Morgan, the corporate loyalty is rising in the current economic climate partly because of job insecurities. Besides, there is the war for talent.

Even its closest allies oppose U.S. policies.2. Its unpopularity is dangerous and expensive. It leads to high military costs abroad, skyrocketing security costs at home, and the loss of trade as America’s goods become shunned overseas. All this causes an economic drain.3. If Americans travelled more, they’d better understand their place on this complex planet and fit in more comfortably, and eventually the U.S. wouldn’t need to spend as much as the rest of the world combined on its military to feel safe.4. Travel helps Americans celebrate, rather than fear, diversity of culture.5. Travel gives Americans a perspective that can translate, through the voting booth, into American policies that will not alienate them from the family of nations. And when that happens, Americans’ safety will be improved.OutlineI (1-2) Need for Americans to gain a better understanding of the world by travelling II (3-5) America’s unpopularity and its harmful effects1．America’s low standing in world opinio n2．Being routinely outvoted at the U.N. on a variety of issuesIII (6-18) Benefits of thoughtful travel1．Gaining a better understanding of America’s place on the complex planet 2．Getting a clear idea about how the world sees America3．Gaining a better understanding about other societiesa.

But they proved unfulfilling either, because at that time those who were courting got to know each other under artificial circumstances. They were well dressed and put their best foot forward. This was not the best way to get to know people.OutlineI.(1)News leadSummary of the survey’s reportII. (2—3)The dating scene on college campuses1. Two choices for women2.

The American traditional family is a family made up of two biological parentsand two or three children with the father as the only breadwinner.2. No. The traditional family has lost its predominant place. Today only about 20percent of American families fit the traditional structure.3. The new American family is a household with fewer children, with both parents working, and with mothers giving birth to their children at an ever older age, having fewer children, and spacing them further apart.4. The stable family of two biological parents is the ideal vessel for moldingcharacter, for nurturing, for inculcating values, and for planning for a child’s future.5. The result of Am erica’s family changes is a serious new divide in the American society between the children of poorer, less educated, single parents and those of richer, better educated, and married parents.6. Mother-only families produce harmful effects on children. They are more likely than those with two parents to suffer poverty, to be suspended from school, to have emotional problems, to become delinquent, to suffer from abuse, to take drugs, and to perform poorly on virtually every measure.7. Today, 81 percent of American women think she should have her own career, and 70 percent think that both husband and wife should earn money. The vast majorityof working mothers say that even if the family did not need the income, they would continue working.8.

The author suggests that the husband and the wife should offer each other more positive statements, less negative statements, heart-felt and specific compliments and thank-yous.2. Human touch aids the release of feel-good endorphins for giver and receiver.3. To build a fortress of love, he or she should fully support his or her spouse, take his or her spouse’s side whenever possible if trouble arises in the “outside world”.4.Trying to improve the spouse puts him/her on the defensive and cast you in a drearyrole. The result is that everyone is unhappy.5. When a marriage needs improvement, the true solution is that you should change yourself first, address your own flaws and seek the best in your spouse.6. Good feelings can improve marriage. The happier you feel, the happier your marriage will be and the easier it will be to manage conflicts.7. When conflict is handled with the right tools and attitude, it becomes a gateway to deeper intimacy – the chance to be seen and lived for who you truly are, to accept your mate’s adorable, vulnerable real self and build a strong union without caving in or silently seething.8.

Because they want to improve their public image. They believe that reputationsand jobs can be lost based on the smallest slip in rank.2. Because they intended to make their colleges more selective. They thought topapplicants might opt for more prestigious institutions, lowering the school’s crucial “yield” and making it appear less desirable.3. If accepted, enrollees tend to boost a school’s yield and its statistical cachet.But the process denies students the broader choice that comes with applying to more than one college and ties them to a school regardless of its financial aid offer.4. The author believes the rankings have become an unhealthy force in higher education,because the time and money colleges spend gaming the magazine’s rankings are resources lost on improving education and serving their real consumers, the students.OutlineⅠ.

Short Story Structure
But the news reporter begins with the climax. Then, as he discloses the most important information, he works away from the climax to the less important facts. He does so because the newspaper reader wants the most important information first. Such a format of news writing is called the inverted pyramid.

Lesson 39
Lesson 39
The U.S. and the UK led the aerial bombing campaign, with ground forces supplied primarily by the Afghan Northern Alliance. Later, NATO troops were added. The initial attack removed the Taliban from power, but Taliban forces have since regained some strength. The war has been less successful in achieving the goal of restricting al-Qaeda's movement. Since its liberation from the Taliban in 2001, Afghanistan has made strides in the political reconstruction process. In 2003, a constitution was drafted, debated, and approved. Presidential elections were held in October 2004, and Parliamentary and provincial elections were held this past Sunday.
