But the last-minutecalls made by some of the passengers give us a more complete account of thestruggle of these everyday people. Here is one of the stories of courage and heroism.STEP 2 — Warming-up (20 minutes)1.DiscussionTeacher: Before we study the text, let me ask you some questions.1) What do you know about the events that took place in America on September11, 2001?2) Why do you think the terrorists attacked those targets?3) What can be done to stop such events happening again?*Summarize the answers to these questions.2.Questions about the TextBased on the title: Flight 93: What I Never Know, just guess the author‘s ideatowards Terrorism.4) Why does the author say that she will never really make sense of September11?5.) What‘s your idea of September 11?Information Related to the Text1) TerrorismTerrorism is the use of violence, or the threat of violence, to create a climateof fear in a given population. Terrorist violence targets ethnic or religious groups,governments, political parties, corporations, and media enterprises. Organizationsthat engage in acts of terror are usually small in size and fear generated by theirviolence, which seek to magnify their influence and power to affect politicalchange on either a local or an international scale.2) New JerseyA state of the east-central United States on the Atlantic Ocean. It was admittedas one of the original Thirteen Colonies in 1787. Trenton is the capital andNewark the largest city.3) NewarkA city of northeast New Jersey on Newark Bay, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean,opposite Jersey City and west of New York City. It was settled by Puritans in 1666 and is today a heavily industrialized port of entry.4) CaliforniaA state of the western United States on the Pacific Ocean. California is often called the Golden State because of its sunny climate and the discovery of gold during its pioneering days. Sacramento is the capital and Los Angelas the largest city.5) WindhamA town located in Greene County, New York, USA. The town had a total population of 1,660 at the 2000 census. The town is believed to be named after a location in Connecticut.6) New YorkA state of the northeast United States. It was admitted as one of the original Thirteen Colonies in 1788. Albany is the capital and New York City the largest city. New York City is also the financial center of the nation.7) San FranciscoA city of western California on a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, an inlet of the Pacific. Discovery of gold nearby in 1848 changed the city from a small community into a thriving boom town known for its lawlessness and bawdy amusements.8) The World Trade CenterFormer building complex in lower Manhattan, New York City, consisting of seven buildings and a shopping concourse on a 16-acre (6.5-hectare) site; it was destroyed by a terrorist attack in Sept., 2001. Prior to its destruction, the World Trade Center had been the world‘s largest commercial complex, home to many businesses, government agencies, and international trade organizations.9) The PentagonThe Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. Those who work within its walls often simply call it the Building. As a symbol of the US military, "the Pentagon" is often used metonymically to refer to the Department of Defense rather than the building itself. On September 11, 2001, exactly sixty years after construction began on the complex, part of the building was destroyed in the terrorist attacks which also brought down the World Trade Center‘s Tw in Towers.10) Remarks by the President Less than One Hour after the AttackI want to reassure the American people that the full resources of the federal government are working to assist local authorities to save lives and to help the victims of these attacks. Make no mistake: The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts.I‘ve been in regular contact with the Vice President, the Secretary of Defense, the national security team and my Cabinet. We have taken all appropriate security precautions to protect the American people. Our military at home and around the world is on high alert status, and we have taken the necessary security precautionsto continue the functions of your government.We have been in touch with the leaders of Congress and with world leaders to assure them that we will do whatever is necessary to protect America and Americans.I ask the American people to join me in saying a thanks for all the folks who have been fighting hard to rescue our fellow citizens and to join me in saying a prayer for the victims and their families.The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test. God bless.11) What had happened about Flight 93 on September 9, 2001?8:42 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 takes off from Newark, NewJersey, with 44 aboard.
