新GRE阅读练习题(16)Juries in criminal trials do not base verdicts on uncor-roborated testimony given by any one witness. Rightly so, because it is usually prudent to be highly skeptical of unsubstantiated claims made by any one person. But then, to be consistent, juries should end an all-too-common practice:convicting defendants on the basis of an uncorroborated full confession. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?(A) Juries often acquit in cases in which a defendant retracts a full confession made before trial.(B) The process of jury selection is designed to screen out people who have a firm opinion about the defendant'sguilt in advance of the trial.(C) Defendants sometimes make full confessions when they did in fact do what they are accused of doing and have come to believe that the prose-cutor has compelling proof of this.(D) Highly suggestible people who are accused of wrongdoing sometimes become so unsure of their own recollection of the past that they can come to accept the accusations made against them.(E) Many people believe that juries should not con-vict defendants who have not made a full con-fession.答案:E。

Not only moving objects and people but all systems have momentum.47. Changing the current energy system requires the systematic training ofprofessionals and skilled labor.[C] But there are other kinds of momentum as well. Afterall, we don't speak only of objects or people as having momentum; we speak of entire systems havingmomentum. Whether it's a sports team or a presidential campaign, everybody relishes having the big momentum,because it makes them harder to stop or change direction.简单转换47.

Those who lose their jobs shortly before retirement age live a shorter-than-average life.[I]In a survey of older workers who were laid off during the recession, just one in six had found another job, and half of that group had accepted pay cuts. 14% of the re-employed said the pay in their new job was less than half what they earned in their previous job. “I just say to myself:’Why me?

The cost for saving our civilization would be considerably less than the world’s current military spending.45. A quarter of this year’s American grain harvest will be used to produce bio-fuel for cars.[G]As incomes rise among low-income consumers, the potential for further grain consumption is huge. But that potential pales beside the never-ending demand for crop-based fuels. A fourth of this year’s U.S. grain harvest will go to fuel cars.48. A writer should polish his writing repeatedly so as to get closer to perfection.49. Writers may experience periods of time in their life when they just can’t produce anything.E) Criticism, at its best, is deeply personal, and gets to the heart of why we write the way we do. The intimate nature of genuine criticism implies something about who is able to give it, namely, someone who knows you well enough to show you how your mental life is getting in the way of good writing. Conveniently, they are also the people who care enough to see you through this painful realization. For me it took the form of my first, and I hope only, encounter with writer’s block—I was not able to produce anything for three years.微信搜索:付建利老师数字。

the Taliban began attacking girl schools in Swat,Malala gave a speech in Peshawar,Pakistan,in September 2008.The title of her talk was,“How dare the Tali ban take away my basic right to education?”When she was 14,Malala and her family learned that the Taliban had issued a death threat against her.Though Malala was frightened for the safety of her father—an antiTaliban activist—she and her family initially felt that the fundamentalist group would not actually harm a child.On October 9,2012,on her way home from school,a man boarded the bus Malala was riding in and demanded to know which girl was Malala.When her friends looked toward Malala,her location was given away.The gunman fired at her,hitting Malala in the left side of her head.Two other girls were also injured in the attack.Despite the Taliban’s threats,Yousafzai remains a firm advocate for the power of education.On October 10,2013,in acknowledgement of her work,the European Parliament awarded Yousafzai the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.That same year,she was nominated(提名) for a Nobel Peace Prize.She didn’t win the prize,but was named a nominee again in March 2014.Malala Yousafzai’s Speech at the United Nations(Excerpt)...Dear brothers and sisters,do remember one thing.Malala Day is not my day.Today is the day of every woman,every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights.There are hundreds of human rights activists and social workers who are not only speaking for,human rights,but who are struggling to achieve their goals of education,peace and equality.Thousands of people have been killed by the terrorists and millions have been injured.I am just one of them....Dear sisters and brothers,now it’s time to speak up.So today,we call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favour of peace and prosperity.We call upon the world leaders that all the peace deals must protect women and children’s rights.We call upon all governments to ensure free compulsory education for every child all over the world.We call upon all governments to fight against terrorism and violence,to protect children from brutality and harm.We call upon the developed nations to support the expansion of educational opportunities for girls in the developing world.We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave—to embrace(拥抱) the strength within themselves and realise their full potential....1.Which of the following adjectives can best describe Malala according to this passage?A.Independent and knowledgeable.B.Stubborn and trustworthy.C.Courageous and persistent.D.Aggressive and sympathetic.2.Malala was shot for the reason that________.A.she didn’t behave herself on the bu sB.she fought against the TalibanC.she appealed for girls’ rights to educationD.her father was an antiTaliban activist3.What can we infer from Malala’s speech at the United Nations?A.Malala Day is an international day for all the boys and girls.B.Many girls in developing countries cannot receive education.C.Many country leaders have changed their policies to protect women and children’s rights.D.Human rights activists are people just calling for equal rights for all the people in the world.4.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.the Taliban attacked Ziauddin Yousafzai’s school for girlsB.the Taliban caught Malala’s father for his fight against the TalibanC.the Taliban shot Malala in the head on her way to schoolD.local people lived in the shadow of the TalibanⅡ.任务型阅读Over the last two decades,much research has been published about the positive impact of forgiveness,particularly on the forgiver and relationships.Now a new study,which is built on a smaller but growing body of research in the workplace,supportsthe power of forgiveness to potentially improve health and wellbeing and productivity in the workplace.Conflicts between colleagues are unavoidable,and they are associated with stress,health problems (bothmental and physical),and poor productivity.Researchers set out to explore how forgiveness can reduce these negative impacts.The participants—more than 200 employees working in office jobs in Washington,DC,or manufacturing jobs in the Midwest—responded to some questionnaires.The first survey asked participants to focus on a specific offence,and then they answered how it affected them.The second study looked at participants’ general tendency to forgive and their general state of mind and work habits over the previous month.In both cases,forgiveness was linked to increased productivity,decreased absenteeism(旷工) and fewer mental and physical health problems, such as sadness and headaches.In the second study,these benefits were partly explained by reductions in interpersonal stress that went along with a forgiving disposition(性情).This new research is important for employees and employers alike,as a lack of forgiveness negatively affects the individuals involved and organizations as a whole.Holding on to negative feelings after a conflict may lead to disengagement at work,a lack of cooperation and even aggressive behavior.Holding a grudge(怨恨) is also associated with increased stress and a host of negative emotions,including anger and revenge.However,since many people who have been in conflict need to continue to work together, forgiveness can be an effective tool and a way to make people get along well with each other again and trust each other again,which is the key to effective work cultures.Then how can forgiveness be developed at work?According to the researchers,leaders’ behavior often has the greatest impact on organizational culture,a kind of contagion effect (扩散效应).So you should try to forgive so that others can learn from you,particularly if you’re a leader.It’s also a good idea to rebuild trust by working on a common task,creating new experiences and memories of cooperation.Additionally,you can invest in programs to build understanding and teach evidencebased tools for ongoing forgiveness in the workplace.Forgiveness,of course,does not mean that we can ignore bad behavior.Every workplace should have policies and procedures for dealing with serious transgressions(违规).However,if you do feel ready and the situation warrants it,give forgiveness a try.It could help you,your colleagues and your workplace.答案精析第47练刑事与战争类高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练Ⅰ.1.stealing 2.killer 3.thieves 4.guilty 5.evidenceⅡ.6.D [句意为:当我们走近的时候,我看到一只鲸鱼正在受到其他大约六只虎鲸的攻击。

What did the girl say to you?She said she hopes I die and that you become the president.I want a woman in the White House.We need you to implicate yourself in the death of Zoe Barnes.I don't think your husband should be front and center.What I want is for Francis Underwood to go to jail.I'm guilty.I killed Zoe Barnes.You have all used me far long enough.So I shall resign the office of President of the United States. You made me look absolutely ridiculous.- No! Claire. - Ill-prepared and ignorant.We're a few hours away from my official resignation...and you still have not agreed to pardon me.I was going over our list for vice president.A lot of the people I spoke to suggested me.It's hard to know who to trust these days.If she doesn't pardon me...I'll kill her.My turn.Stop. Claire Hale. Stop!"I'd like to fry her eyeballs.If no one else steps up to kill the president, I will.I'd enjoy it."A tweet out of North Dakota.What else?"God never intended a woman to rule this land.She is the anti-Christ.- And a Jew." - A Jew?- Do we really need to hear all of this? - Yes.An unpublished editorial.Someone pointing a gun at your likeness.Lots of other online stuff, including a...contest...For?For the most creative way to kill you.And the winner?Rather not say, ma'am.I want to hear. Just hand me the report, Rick.It involves, essentially, skinning you.Cutting your body into dozens of piecesand arranging them in the shape of the American flag. Flesh for the white stripes, blood for the red.What else?Lot of threats involving the C-word, ma'am.Lots and lots of the C-word, unfortunately.- You mean Claire? - It's a long list.If you really want me to, I'll--Listen, I am not the first president to face threats.I know with Francis, sometimes there were several a day. Is it about the samewhat we're dealing with here?It's...significantly up.By how much?There are roughly four times as many threatson any given day since you took office.Now it's twice that since Francis died.I thought everyone loves a widow.Not if she's also Commander-in-Chief, I guess.These are not rational people, Madam President.But, ma'am, as far as today's threat,regarding your first scheduled appearance--We're canceling the appearance.We're not canceling.It's a military base.That's got to be the safest place on Earth for a president. An anonymous soldier has made a serious threat--"To shoot me in the cunton behalf of the United States of America."Yes, Mark, I heard.The threat's unconfirmed.He says he's among those shipping out today.Anyone can claim that.And that you have no right waging war in Syria.You, in particular.I think we stay away. Rick, don't you agree?There's no proof the threat is credible. Isn't that right, Rick?Our intelligence division is investigating,and the advance team is already there,but it'll take at least a dayto comb through that base.I think what the vice president says is the best course.Maybe by tomorrow you could--Tomorrow is the fifth of July.- Yes, ma'am. - So what do you suggest I do?Wish the nation a happy belated birthday?Our only concern is your safety--We're not cancelling.I am sending those soldiers onto a battlefield.The first female president of the United Statesis not gonna keep her mouth shut on the Fourth of fucking July. Lieutenant General Gallagher would understand.I could appear instead.- Speak for you. - Stop.Is it my safety that concerns you,or my potential endorsement of Gallagher?Your safety first, of course.But singling her out, that's a provocation.And so?I can't provoke them?You're forwarding a candidate the Shepherds are against,in their home state.- After months of negotiation. - This is not a negotiation,this is an ultimatum. Sign the bill or what?Or what, Mark?When Francis was looking to finance his foundation, why did you point him towards Bill and Annette?I didn't. Raymond Tusk arranged it.Or maybe they reached out to him?I don't remember.I-- What does it matter? They're working with you now.I need to meet with the Shepherds directly.Madam President.I'll see them before my appearance at the base.- You can't. - I what?I'll let them know.Thank you.You're due at the base by 4:45,which will have you back here by 8:30.The fireworks show begins right after nine.And the Examiner would love your okay on the photos. Is there any progress on the source of the sound?The GSA is still looking into it.They're checking the floorboards above and below,- in case there's-- - I don't want to wait anymore. Please tell the executive housekeeperI'd like the former president's belongings packed up.I'll have it taken care of.It's not true what he told you all those years ago.That there are two kinds, useful and useless.There's only one kind.Pain is pain.Francis...I'm done with you.There.No more pain.You do this all day?I'm under psychiatric observation, Seth.This is what you do.Who's your new tailor?You gotta look the part.So, when do they decidewhether you're crazy or not?Because if you're not,you should come work for us.Us?Have you been working there for about five minutes?It's been a month, actually.So his body wasn't even cold.It's what he would have wanted.The Underwood Foundation was basically gonna be modeled after the Shepherd Freedom Foundation.I don't need the job.Well, for a confessed murderer, you're pretty confident.I'm about to be pardoned.Pardon?You really think that she's gonna give you one?As usual, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.You know, there wasn't the kind of crowd that you'd expect for him down there in Gaffney.He wanted to be buried in Arlington.Not next to his father.That's not what his wife said.Tell me something.She even shed a tear?You know...I'm almost envious, to tell you the truth.That even beyond the grave,you'd do anything for Francis Underwood.Doug, do you have my lighter?Much obliged.Was that who I thought it was?Fred Amburg? He went off the deep end?Everyone has problems, Seth.Especially the ones who think they don't.- Claire. - Annette.Oh, did you get my note?Oh, I haven't had the courage to read the condolences yet.It's good to see you finally out and about.Oh, what you've been through.You know all about it.Well, for a long time, I pretended he was still alive.Out of town.It was our son Duncan that really saved me.Of course, we weren't married anywhere nearas long as you and Frank.Claire Hale.Nine years.Late spring,Sun Valley.You look exactly the same.Well, it's cities that age you,it's what I tell everyone.I hope you don't mindsaying hello to a few of our closest friends.They're just here for a cocktail before the--the sun goes down and the rest of the party shows up.My sister's fireworks show have become a bit of a tradition. Don't worry. They know how to be discreet.Scotty here just got his hands on Nexis Security.I heard you are speaking to the vice president about this.It's a company of peacekeepers, mostly.Oh, tremendous potential to create global partnerships. Your husband helped me secure the deal.I wanted to bring him onto the Board.Bill was saying...Yes, I was just saying.Why in the world do they play作品以曲中的炮火声闻名一些演出中还会真用大炮the "1812 Overture" at a fireworks show?It's Russian, for Chrissakes, in every sense.This is Tabitha.Peters, I know.Frank...- Wasn't he planning to be here today? - He was.You must miss him terribly.I had some long and hard-fought conversations with him. He was going to help me resolve this AFL-CIO thing that's been going on forever out in Nevada,with your help, of course.When the union stands in the way of innovation,it's sentencing itself to death.I do admire the way you hang on to your party.Your loyalty.Did I hear that Lieutenant General Nancy Gallagherwill be appearing with you later today?I think she'd make an excellent candidate,if she decides to run, of course.Oh, she's going to run.The president is on a tight schedule.Excuse me.Well, this is a surprise.You know how Midwesterners feel about those.Oh, don't listen to him. It's about time you came out.Seems we have some things to discuss.Yeah.Well, as far as this special election is concerned, Claire,you need to know that the soon-to-be-retiring Miss Gallagheris out of question.And I'm happy to see we're both fansof the Declaration of Independence,unalienable rights and all that.But it says down here in the speech you're gonna give later-- Miss Gallagher has my support.I believe Mark conveyed our concerns.And communicated mine, I hope.She's a tax and spend Democrat underneath that uniform.- A patriot with a pristine resume. - Claire.Who is very vocal about keeping private contractors- away from US military operations. - Even as a negotiating point, you can do better than her.And I am tired of these delays, Madam President.It is time for you to deliver.- Your husband and I had an agreement. - Francis is dead.- Promises were made. - Not by me.Just like you, I like to negotiate my own agreements.And make no mistake about it,the lieutenant general is not an anomaly.I know that. I've seen your list of candidates for the midterms--Yes, mostly women.I don't care what sex they are.And for the record, nobody loves women more than me.But this slate of yours, it will bankrupt the country.They will set us back a generation. They will completely-- Support me and what I stand for.And what is that?- Oh, come on, Bill. - No, no. Tell me.I wanna know. What's your mission?- I wanna know what your platform is. - Oh, please.I know you'd like to drown DC all at once.But I'm gonna tell you right now, I cannot let that happen.I still believe in governmentand its ability to make the everyday lives of its citizens better. - Yeah. - You don't wanna support my slate,that's fine.- Claire... - All I ask is stay out of the way.There's a bill sitting on your desk.A bill that took years...and money to get passed.You sign that,and I know I got a friend in the White House.If not...- Then I don't. - Enough.Nothing good happens to you when she's around. Nothing.Why did you come out for Francis?For his foundation?I don't think you ever really liked him.Probably never respected him. Why back him now? Because he gave us you.Tell our friends I'll be back down in time for the fireworks. Just so you know, I always liked Frank.His desperation.I'm sorry you can't stay.I do enjoy curating our little show.I collect a variety of fireworks shells as I travel.Italy, Spain, China.Do you know what the hardest color to make is?- Red? - No, red's easy.White's easy.It's blue.Very tricky chemistry involving copper and heat.A truly bright blue is extremely elusive.Whatever Francis promised or did...is buried with him.No, I know.We all need to let him go.Start from some kind of scratch.Though it must haunt you,the fact that he died next to you in bed.Hon...be patient.Are you saying, she doesn't like the name?I think she finds it incomplete.What's wrong with the Comprehensive Safety Act? Comprehensive Chemical Safety Act?Or we could go back to the Smarter Safety Act.Would she like "smarter" better?No, we need a good acronym.Mr. Vice President?Mark?Yeah. Agreed.At one point, we talked about the Repeal Unsafe Regulation Act. That's RURAL if we come up with an L.Legislation?That doesn't make sense with the rest of it."RURAL" is too hard to say. "SAFE" is good.Safety. Future.- I like "FUTURE." - Federal Universal Toxic and Unsafe...- Regulation Eradication. - Okay.- The FUTURE Act. - That could work.May I ask, Mr. Vice President,does her hesitation go beyond the name?She'll come around. I'm guessing...by the end of the day.Because in one form or another,this bill has been on her desk since--She'll sign it, Henry.Bill.What do you want me to do?Yank her from her own military base?When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bandswhich have connected them with another,you just have to do it.Sever the relationship.Our nation's founding document,the Declaration of Independence--America's independence--was hard-fought and hard-won.Are you still there?Our Founding Fathers imagined a nation that was free. Free from despotism.Free from absolute tyranny.Free from an oppressive king.Do you miss Francis?Tyrants come in many forms.From the American oligarchstrying to change the very fabric of our society,to autocrats threatening from abroad.Now, each one of us has to defend our destiny.And as I see it,the fight against tyranny is the only justification for war.My first 100 days as president have been difficult.I lost my husband.We were about to celebrate 30 years together.But I know what he would want.For me to stop mourning and carry on.With the help of women like Lieutenant General Nancy Gallagher, my presidency will not rest.Nancy has been an inspiration to me.A tireless warrior.I promise her and all of youthat I will work on behalf of the rightsand freedoms earned over the last 241 years of our democracy.As I look into the eyesof you brave soldiers standing before me today...Here's the thing.I'm feeling so proud right now.Proud to be your Commander-in-Chief.Whatever Francis told you the last five years,don't believe a word of it.Our country is 241 years old, my friends.Let's wish this great nation a happy birthday.Say it with me.Happy birthday, America!Happy Birthday, America!It's going to be different for you and me.One more time.I'm going to tell you the truth.Happy Birthday, America.- Thank you for your service. - Thank you.Thank you for your service.- Thank you for your service. - Thank you.I want you to know how wonderful it is to be here and meet all of you new recruits.So, thank you.Thank you for your service.- Thank you. - Thank you, ma'am.Thank you for your service. Where are you from, private? Kalamazoo, Mr. President.- Excuse me, Madam President. - That's quite all right.I actually hate "Madam."Makes me sound like I'm running a brotheland not a country.- Thank you for your service. - Thank you, Madam President. Thank you for your service.And where are you from, Pvt. Burton?South Bend, ma'am.Oh, I love Indiana.I enlisted right before you took office.Well, I promise you and every woman in this countrythat during my presidencythe key components of the Equal Rights Amendmentwill finally pass.I'm going to make sure of it.I want you to know I support you.Do you even have a plan?What did you say?One that won't get us all killed?Oh, man...Would you have asked me that if I were a man? Madam President!One question, please!How much longer till we get to the plane?Just another 25 minutes or so, Madam President. Okay, thank you.Shit!- Is she shot? - Stay down, stay down!Shots fired! Shots fired!Are you okay, Madam President?- Are you all right? - Yes.Lone Star is safe.Sir, someone just tried to kill the president.I just got the alert. Is she all right?This way.Lincoln,Garfield, McKinley,Kennedy.Successful assassinations, total of four.The attempts-- Nine?Jackson, both Roosevelts.Truman. Ford twice.Reagan...the first Underwood and...I will say, whoever tried to kill me,perversely,it's the first sign of real respect I've gotten in 100 days. Somebody tried to kill her.Bill.Can you blame them?The Underwoods have always been hard of hearing.She's not him.No, no.She is not.You know that better than anyone.Is it public?Secret Service shut it down. Standard procedure, apparently. Threats beget threats.Bill...were you behind this?We're gonna miss the show.- How are y'all? - Madam President.Hi, I'm so sorry.I want to apologize for the late departure.I know you all have families and festivities waiting. Madam President, may I ask what happened?The Beast was re-routed due to security concerns.It's pretty routine.I know it's been a while since I've been back here.I just wanted to wish you all a very happy Fourth, even if you're gonna be celebrating it on the fifth.I'm so sorry.Your speech, afterwards with--Yes, the new recruit.If a new recruit, especially a female one,can't speak her mind,I don't know what kind of country we actually are. And be sure to tell us if you run out of beer. Because I am sure there's a couple of casesleft over from the Carter administration.And you're new.Yes, ma'am. Melody Cruz.I'm with Beltway Television.Well, I hope everyone is making you feel at home. Very much so.It's an honor to finally meet you.I'm a bit overwhelmed, sorry.- Don't worry, I don't bite. - No, I know.It's strange, I was supposed to interview your husband. It was scheduled for a few days after he died.It was going to be an exclusive.We'd had a number of pre-interviews.Questions we'd agreed on.Questions like?Like, was the president going to pardon him?And when?Will you? Even now, posthumously?I know you did an exclusive with The New York Examiner, but I'm guessing that's only going to scratch the surface.I bet you have more to say- about the state of your marriage-- - Miss...Cruz, is it?I don't know if anyone's told you,but when the president visits this part of the plane,it's usually considered off the record.But you can ask my press secretary anything you likeonce we're back on the ground.You're especially quiet this evening.Maybe I'm a little agitated.Our patients don't do too well when it comes to fireworks. Pardon me.Yes?I don't understand why you leave that on when we're meeting. Well, it's not like you're saying anything different or new. Your dedication to your script would be admirableif it weren't so concerning.In a few weeks, I'll be appearing at a hearingregarding your state of mindand when it comes to your confession,even a guilty man changes his story now and then.Who do you answer to?I mean, who do you work for?You.That's the idea, anyway.Everybody works for somebody.I worked for a man who refused to fail.I respected that.I appreciated it.I'd be dead without him.Why?I was working as an aide for a congressman.He was idealistic and naive.Had one-term written all over him.But I needed a job, a place to be.I was barely keeping it together.Francis and I met at some function.You know, the kind you stand up at.I don't know how he knew, but I had eight bottles in my trunk.I got through four that night when he came to my door.I don't remember much.Not clearly.He took me to his home.But Claire...Francis got me dry.I shook so badly I thought I was gonna die.And then when I was finally got clean,he gave me my first job.As an aide?Sort of.He asked me to go talk to Congressman Kyle from Iowa. To what end?To persuade him.And I did.But Claire...The way she treated him,in life and in death...But you pay a price, when you work for somebody like him. Somebody you owe.Somebody close to me died in a car accident.That's how I broke the terms of my house arrest.I went to see the site of her wreck.It was twisted on the side of the road.I just stood there.An accident?So they said.And Zoe Barnes?I killed her.For the president.That's what he used to do when he won.What did he leave you with?Last thing that Francis gave me wasthe letter opener from his desk.I mean, I chose it, but...But I guess really the last thing he gave me was an apology.I spoke to him the night he died.My presidency will not rest.Nancy has been an inspiration to me.A tireless warrior.I promise her and all of youthat I will work on behalf of the rightsand freedoms earned over the last 241 years of our democracy. Tyrants come in many forms...Pathetic.From the American oligarchs trying to change the very...Are you sure you don't want to take an hour or two to-- Mark. I'm inside the White House.There's only two of us in the Oval, so unless you're packing, it's literally the safest place I can be.Well, I'm not packing, Madam President,but no one would fault you for taking a breath for a minute.I'm breathing just fine.Can we keep news of this contained?I've taken every possible step, I think.So who is he?Well, they did forensics on the route.Compared notes with the aerial detail.Homeland Secretary and the Bureau were brought in.He never left the place he took the shot from.Can you answer a single question directly and simply?He shot himself in the headwith his own US military-issued handgun.And we're sure he's the one?Yeah. Pro-militia. Anti-government.Dishonorably discharged last year. All the typical markers. Secret Service is confident.And the Bureau's investigating.How did Bill Shepherd get his hands on my speech? What?Well, the press usually gets it hours before.It wouldn't be that hard to access a copy, I guess.I won't be signing that today.You went there to declare your independence,and you declared war.That was a mistake.No, the mistake was I didn't hire a chief of staff,and things are slipping through the cracks.That's where I have to disagree with you.We need to keep this circle small.You know, Francis warned me about you.I assure you, I serve at your pleasure, Madam President. You need to stop meeting in my office without me. Yes, ma'am.Secret Service took the lead.But do you believe the theory?That it was a disgruntled service person who took a shot at me? PID does.I'm asking what you think.It depends if it was a warning or an actual attempt.Given the accuracy,the shooter would have been informed enough to knowthat a .50 caliber round wouldn't penetrate the Beast.I think he wanted to scare you.On behalf of someone.Lots of people make threats against sitting presidents.I'm starting to believe Francis was murdered.Before he died,he aligned himself with some very powerful people.And I think they turned on him, and they wanted him dead, and I think they want me dead, too.Do you think that sounds crazy?No, ma'am.But I think we need to bring in Special Agent Bowman--Of these people, these powerful families,they advocate dismantling intelligence agencies.CIA, FBI, Homeland.You know that, right?- Ma'am-- - We cannot bringanyone else in at the moment.I'm relying on youthe way I know my husband could.So, please see what you can find.Is it ever Nateor always Nathan?Nathan.Like Francis.For me, anyway.Oh, have you spoken to Doug Stamper?No.I'm so worried about him.He did things no one in this White House should be proud of. Hey, Mom.How many people do you have there?Not many.Nobody that interesting, anyway.Her visit to the base.Independence speech,even the naughty soldier is playing well for her.Her charmed life persists.Tell Uncle Bill we should step up.I can manage the narrative. De-charm her.He won't like that.He's not going to like any of it,so what's the difference?- I don't know. - Mom, just say the word.Trust me.Don't do a thing until I get back to you.Can't even tell you're still in DC.There are parts of this city that will always remain a secret.I don't think I'll be welcome backin the White House press pool anytime soon, FYI.Doesn't matter.She won't speak to me.- An interview? Not after-- - She will.Tonight, for the first time, he was forthcoming.But still saying he's guilty?Yeah, as always.And did he mention Mr. Grayson by name?No. He was just more distressed.So he's getting worse?Or better, he's finally talking.But the idea of his leaving the facility anytime soon,that's still out of the question. I mean, for his own good. He's either guilty of the crime- or psychotic for admitting to it. - Madam President,Miss Shepherd is on the White House line.Well, maybe it's time to give him one of the antipsychotics. Possibly. But we'd have to consider his history of addiction. By the way, in answer to your question,it was a letter opener,the last thing that Francis gave him from his desk.Keep me posted, Charles.And thank you.Sure.Are you prepared?Excuse me.Don't you remember? Andover?Our prep school joke?I'm prepared to fail the test.Are you all right?I'm sorry to call so late. I-- I heard about what happened today. These things have a tendency to leak out.I'm worried about you.It's bulletproof, the motorcade glass.Did they catch the guy?How do you know it's a guy?It's always a guy, right?What was it Bill wanted adjusted in my speech?Something about...freedom.You're in my thoughts, Claire.Thank you.He's still with us, don't you think?Who?Frank.We're so glad we got to spend so much time with him before he died. He told us some fascinating things.He's been on my mind.Bill and I finally went down to Gaffney a few days ago... to pay our respects.Claire!I shouldn't have let them.I'm sorry.Come on out now.Are you still there?Yes.Help!Help!I know.You want to know what really happened to him.A man like Francis doesn't just die.That would be...what's the word?"Convenient."。
