Should We Torture Suspects for Information?你支持严刑逼供恐怖分子吗?Peopl e are divid ed about whether governments shoul d torture peopl e suspected of terrorism.人们对应不应该对恐怖分子实施酷刑持不同看法。

Torture involves severe physical or emotional pain to gain information from someone.酷刑即对恐怖分子造成身体或精神上的痛苦，从而获取情报。

The Pew Research Center asked peopl e in 38 nations if they believe torture is justified to gain information from suspected terrorists about future attacks. The average support for torture in the 38 countries was 40 percent.皮尤研究中心对来自38个国家的人做了调查，在他们看来，对还未实行恐怖袭击的恐怖分子严刑逼供是否合法公平。

在这来自38个国家的人中，平均支持率为40%。

Governments sometimes d efend torture as a way of l earning about a planned terrorist attack so they can take action to prevent it.政府有时将酷刑作为一种获取恐怖袭击情报的方法，因此他们可以提前采取行动，预防恐怖袭击。

But a U.S. Senate Committee report said brutal questioning of suspects d oes not work. In 2014, the committee said torture was “not an effective means of acquiring intelligence or gaining cooperation” from terrorist suspects.但美国参议院委员会的报告显示，强化审讯技术对获得情报收效甚微。

Catalyst and other research organizations caution that this age group has high demands for employers. If their demands are not met, they will leave.

If the Gen X’er believes that his employer is not making a commitment to him, he will leave.3.The survey found that more than 70 percent of them rated companionship, a loving family and enjoying life as extremely important. In contrast, fewer than 20 percent of them said earning a lot of money and becoming an influential leader were extremely important goals.4.

As men marched off to fight, women tooktheir husbands’ places in factories and on the farms. They never looked back.

AVI.1. America’s standing in world opinion is at an all-time low. Even its closest allies oppose U.S. policies.2. Its unpopularity is dangerous and expensive. It leads to high military costs abroad, skyrocketingsecurity costs at home, and the loss of trade as America’s goods become shunned overseas. All this causes an economic drain.3. If Americans travelled more, they’d better understand their place on this complex planet and fit in more comfortably, and eventually the U.S. wouldn’t need to spend as much as the rest of the world combined on its military to feel safe.4. Travel helps Americans celebrate, rather than fear, diversity of culture.5. Travel gives Americans a perspective that can translate, through the voting booth, into American policies that will not alienate them from the family of nations. And when that happens, Americans’ safety will be improved.OutlineI (1-2) Need for Americans to gain a better understanding of the world by travellingII (3-5) America’s unpopularity and its harmfu l effects1．America’s low standing in world opinion2．Being routinely outvoted at the U.N. on a variety of issuesIII (6-18) Benefits of thoughtful travel1．Gaining a better understanding of America’s place on the complex planet2．Getting a clear idea about how the world sees America3．Gaining a better understanding about other societiesa.

It is a non-profit group that promotes the importance of family and fatherhood. It is based in New York.2.The sexual revolution of the 1960s and '70s swept away a concept of dating in which there was an implicit understanding that each party was shopping for a mate and not just for sex.3.If women are not hooking up, they frequently fall into fast-moving, "joined-at-the-hip" relationships with men, spending nights in one another's rooms.4.In the author’s opinion, the rules of courtship in the 1950s were clearer than those of the present. But they proved unfulfilling either, because at that time those who were courting got to know each other under artificial circumstances. They were well dressed and put their best foot forward. This was not the best way to get to know people.OutlineI. (1) News leadSummary of the survey’s reportII. (2—3) The dating scene on college campuses1. Two choices for women2.

The American traditional family is a family made up of two biological parents and two or threechildren with the father as the only breadwinner.2. No. The traditional family has lost its predominant place. Today only about 20 percent ofAmerican families fit the traditional structure.3. The new American family is a household with fewer children, with both parents working, and with mothers giving birth to their children at an ever older age, having fewer children, and spacing them further apart.4. The stable family of two biological parents is the ideal vessel for molding character, fornurturing, for inculcating values, and for planning for a child’s future.5. The result of America’s family changes is a serious new divide in the American society between the children of poorer, less educated, single parents and those of richer, better educated, and married parents.6. Mother-only families produce harmful effects on children. They are more likely than those with two parents to suffer poverty, to be suspended from school, to have emotional problems, to become delinquent, to suffer from abuse, to take drugs, and to perform poorly on virtually every measure.7. Today, 81 percent of American women think she should have her own career, and 70 percent think that both husband and wife should earn money. The vast majority of working mothers say that even if the family did not need the income, they would continue working.8. The author thinks that America’s Social Security and welfare should be reformed so as to nourish marriage and raise the proportion of children who grow up in two-parent families.OutlineI.

At 10:43 a.m. on January 26, they were all ready.2. Before the multiple birth, Nadya Suleman was a recently-divorced single mother who already had six children ranging in age from 2 to 7, two of them 2-year-old twins and one of them autistic.3. The news report stoked the furor created by the delivery of the octuplets.4. Nadya Suleman used the last of her remaining embryos and got impregnated through in-vitro fertilization.5. Nad ya Suleman’s mother sees it less glowingly. She believes that her daughter is obsessed and misguided for she already had six beautiful children.6.

The author suggests that the husband and the wife should offer each other more positive statements, less negative statements, heart-felt and specific compliments and thank-yous.2. Human touch aids the release of feel-good endorphins for giver and receiver.3. To build a fortress of love, he or she should fully support his or her spouse, take his or her spouse’s side whenever possible if trouble arises in the ―outside world‖.4.Trying to improve the spouse puts him/her on the defensive and cast you in a dreary role. The result is that everyone is unhappy.5. When a marriage needs improvement, the true solution is that you should change yourself first,address your own flaws and seek the best in your spouse.6. Good feelings can improve marriage. The happier you feel, the happier your marriage will be and the easier it will be to manage conflicts.7. When conflict is handled with the right tools and attitude, it becomes a gateway to deeper intimacy –the chance to be seen and lived for who you truly are, to accept your mate’s adorable, vulnerable real self and build a strong union without caving in or silently seething.8.
