History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete. Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfulfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue.
听力原文: Rich Americans are willing to spend large sums of money on space tourism, according to a poll released recently. Possibly bored by the ordinary daily life on earth or inspired by the exciting heroic deeds of such pioneers as first American in space Alan Shepard and first millionaire in space Dennis Tito, the poll says 7 percent of rich Americans would pay $ 20 million for a two-week orbital flight and 19 percent would pay $100,000 for a 15-rninute suborbital flight. The poll by Zogby International was commissioned by Futron Corp. , a Maryland aerospace consulting group which has a $1.8 million contract with NASA to explore the commercial applications of space travel, including what space tourism could look like in the next 20 years. Zoghy International conducted telephone interviews with 450 Americans whose yearly incomes were more than $ 250,000 or whose net worth was more than $1 million. Futron's NASA project program manager Derek Webber said, "We commissioned this survey in order to get an idea of what rich people think and not the man in the street who loves the idea of going into space but can't afford it."

SAN FRANCISCO—The "Reading Wizard" (阅读巫题) , an 11-year-old boy, whose offer to read to children without being paid at a local library was refused by libraries will get to read to younger
kids after all.
Mayor Willie Brown last Wednesday ordered San Francisco Public Library officials to allow John O'Connor to read to preschool children to get them interested in books and stop them from watching television and video games.
"I didn' t expect this kind of attention." John said, "It's just shocking."
John has chosen his first book, "The king' s Giraffe", and made up fliers inviting neighborhood children, aged from three to six, to the Presidio Branch every Wednesday afternoon. He planned to call himself the "Reading Wizard" and wear a special hat, fake glasses and a black coat.
But his idea was refused on the phone, in person and finally with a letter from Toni Bernardi, the chief of the library's children and youth service. Using terms like "appropriate material"(适龄读物), she wrote that only library workers are allowed to read to children.
John then went to a member of the city board of supervisors(督导董事会) ,who advised him to write letters to the library officials.
Who is the "Reading Wizard"?
A.Presidio Branch.
B.The King's Giraffe.
C.John O'Connor.
D.Toni Bernardi.
The idea was described by Richard L.Armitage, the deputy secretary of state, as just "one idea being explored" in discussions at the United Nations. It was first hinted at publicly last week by Kofi Annan, the United Nations’ secretary general.
Mr. Armitage’s remarks, made on Tuesday to regional reporters and released by the State Department today, represent a potential shift in course for the administration, which has until now insisted that all military, economic and political matters in Iraq remain under total American control. Allowing the United Nations a leadership role would be intended to win the support of the Security Council for a new mandate authorizing the American-led occupation of the country.
In his remarks, Mr. Armitage declined to discuss the plans in any detail, saying, "I don’t think it helps to throw them out publicly right now." But he described the arrangement under consideration as "a multinational force under U.N. leadership" in which "the American would be the U.N. commander."
On Monday, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was asked whether he could envision American troops fighting under United Nations’ command. His answer: "I think that’s not going to happen." But he went on to rule out only "a blue-hatted leadership" meaning by the United Nations, whose troops wear blue helmets over a peacekeeping force in Iraq.
