4、on of invasion, I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast when an absolute guarantee against invasion, still less against serious raids, could have been given to our people. In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his tran

5、sports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited andbefooled the imaginations of many continentaltyrants. Many are the talesthat are told. We are assured that novel methods willbe adopted, and when we see the

6、originalityof malice, the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and treacherous maneuver. I think that no idea isso outlandish that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but

7、at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye.We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air powerif it can be locally exercised. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are

8、 being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menaceof tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's government- ev

9、ery man of them. That is the will ofparliament and the nation. The Britishempire and the French republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, willdefend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Eur

10、ope and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fightwithgrowingconfidenceand growingstren

11、gth in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this i

12、sland or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth tothe rescue and the liberation of the old.16.

16、ful that even his own teammateson the court cannot help but admire it - in the middle of a game.2. "It's hard for me, because I'm a fan of basketball," Houston point guard Rafer Alston told the Houston Chronicle newspaper after McGrady's 44-point performance against Utah on Jan

17、uary5. "When he's shooting the ball like that, a lot of times I'm standing there watching and, all of asudden, the other team's getting the ball and going on a fast break, and I'm getting yelled at bythe coach." Indeed, McGrady's body control, his energy, his shooting -

18、 watching these are like watching an artist at work, blending colours, constructing sentences, or playing music.3. Unfortunately,McGrady,27, hasn't always been on the job. Already this season, he'smissed seven games with back spasms. AfterYao Mingwas injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston w

19、ould be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost five.4.

20、"Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he cando with the basketball," forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. "From a fan's perspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it's reallyfun to watch himdo that. &quo

21、t;From a player's perspective, his game can affect the entire team. No question. We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody."5. But it won't, really. Houston has just begun an important stretch on the

22、ir schedule. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston - and without Yao. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady's teammates will need to create

27、nd jobs.Economists blame young people's familydependence on the precarious(不穩定的 ) labourmarket and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 per cent a year since 2000.Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists. Family ties in south Europe- Italy, Portugal an

28、d Greece- are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Keys for Understanding"."In general, young people in Spain firmlybelieve in the familyas the main body aroundwhich thei

29、r private life is organized," said Minguez.In Spain - especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts,uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews( 外甥/侄子 ) all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.Parents' tolerance(寬容 ) is another

30、 factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and arewary of setting bedtime rules."A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he'll put up a bigfight and call the father a Fascist," said Jose Antonio GomezYanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University

31、in Madrid.Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores worsens the problem. Dioni-sio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest, 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good."His mum does the wash and cooks for him; in the end, he

35、39;s the season of swimming pools, barbeques, camping and road trips.Road tripvacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular withcollege students, who like to explore the country on wheels.

37、kins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, ifyou get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore."Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don't have to plan in advance, you can ju

38、st get into a car and drive."Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars.Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved, cars made

39、it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities.By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm.

The tightened regulations willaffect an estimated 17,000 fo

47、reigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers.The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing outside South Korea willhave to have an interview at a South Korean embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Can

48、ada, Australia or the US, this is an additional travel burden. Meanwhile,foreign teachers currentlylivingin South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts end and renew their visas at a South Korean embassy in their home country or third country. Before the changes, they could ren

49、ew their visas by visiting a neighboring countryand return without additional documentation.The visa changes are a reaction to publicconcern about the suitabilityof some foreign teachers. AreportfromtheSouthKoreanMinistryofEducationandHumanResources Development shows between 2001 and August of this

50、year, 1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught fora range ofoffenses includingforgeddegrees, visa violationsand general lawbreaking.But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Korea's English language education sector.

56、uths open, students examining my big nose, handsnervous, people whispering while I wrote my name on the blackboard.At Iowa, when my first classes began, half my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns interrupted my opening remarks.It&

57、#39;s not that Americanstudents were disrespectful.(47)They were,however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them fortheir skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities -especially freshmen and sophomores ? often have several classes a semest
