31、 on the level below the chiefs of staff and their deputies where Burne-Wilke operated, and of course far below the summit of the President, the Prime Minister, and their advisers. Familiar problems came up at once: excessive and contradictor/requests from the British services, unreal plans, unfilled

32、 contracts, jumbled priorities, fouled communications. One cardinal point the planners hammered out fast. Building new ships to replace U-boat sinkings came first. No war material could be used against Hitler until it had crossed the ocean. This plain truth, so simple once agreed on, ran a red line

33、across every request, every program, every projection. Steel, a- luminum, rubber, valves, motors, machine tools, copper wire, all the thousand things of war, would go first to ships. This simple yardstick rapidly disclosed the poverty of the “arsenal of democracy“, and dictated -as a matter of frigh

37、活方式：自由。因而要集中记录以下内容：自由对美国人的意义，自由在美国人眼中体现在哪些方面，有无绝对的个人自由等等。顺着这一思路，讲座的关键便一目了然：自由是美国的“heartbeat”(心跳、心动)；美国人的自由与“individulism” (个人主主、个性)密不可分；他们要求隐私权；对美国人来说，自由还意味着平等，即相同的价值应得到相同的机会。但是个人自由同他人的权力往往会发生冲突，走向自由之路，绝非一帆风顺。听力原文-The American Way: FreedomThe heart of the American calendar is July 4. Americans have

38、celebrated this date as “Independence Day“ since 1776. On this holiday, parades, picnics and fireworks create a festival atmosphere. Red, white and blue ribbons mimic the colours of the “stars and stripes“. Patriotic speeches remind Americans of their heritage. But July 4 is more than a “national ho

39、liday“. It represents the heart beat of America: freedom.Ask the average American, “What is freedom?“ You will probably hear, “Its being able to do what I want to do. “When Americans think of freedom, they often think of individualism. They see themselves more as individuals than as members of a fam

40、ily or social group. American - style democracy tries to protect individual rights. It also promises each person the freedom to make choices. People in other cultures may not understand this emphasis on individuals. Stressing individual human rights seems strange to culture where the rights of socie

41、ty are more important.Privacy is one good example of individual rights. Personal freedom in American often means the right to ones own space. In many American homes, each child has his or her own bedroom. Parents feel they should knock before entering. When Americans want to visit friends or relativ

42、es, they usually call first. They dont want to invade someones privacy, even if they know the person quite well. Also, in some cultures, people have strong ties to their“ extended family“. They openly share time, money and information with their kinfolks. Americans, on the other hand, prefer to keep

43、 many “family matters“ private. Likewise, individuals may not want to share private information in everyday conversation. If a stranger asks about their salary, age, marital status or religion, American might feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.In American culture, freedom also implies equality. The D

44、eclaration of Independence states that “All men are created equal“. That does not mean equal in abilities or status. For Americans, equality refers to equal worth and equal opportunity. Every individual should have an equal chance to improve his life. True, America has not always lived up to that id

45、eal. For many years, Native Americans, African Americans and immigrants have protected their unequal treatment. But American culture still teaches that people can work hard mid fulfill their dreams. Whether this idea is true or not, people hear rags- to- riches stories often enough to confirm it in

46、the minds of many.Freedom arouses strong feelings for Americans. The idea of liberty binds people together in this “Land of the free“. However, problems still exist. One individuals freedom can conflict with rights of others. Someone once said, “You have the freedom to swing your first around if you

47、 want. But your freedom ends where my nose begins. “People can also be- come too concerned about their own rights. They might demand special treatment. No, the path to freedom is not completely smooth. Even so, for Americans, no other road is really worth travelling.填空项 1:_ （正确答案：heritage）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：individualism）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：emPhas
