【正确答案】：答案:

Should Nuclear Weapons Be Abolished?

Now a few countries intend to develop their own nuclear weapons, thinking that if they do have such destructive equipments, no other country would nuke them. Other countries appeal to banning the development of nuclear weapons, thinking it would endanger the safety 0f the whole world. For my own part, nuclear weapons should be abolished. My idea is grounded in the following two points.

One point is that the result of having nuclear weapons cannot be good in any situation. Nuclear weapons are too destructive, not only to human beings, but to the entire planet. No country will actually use a nuclear weapon because they all know what the outcome will be: everyone and everything will be destroyed. The cases of Hiroshima and Nagasaki should be enough to make us think how destructive nuclear weapons can be. The other point is that nuclear weapons are no longer the threat that they used to be at the time of their inception—nearly every country in the world either possesses a nuclear weapon or is the close ally of a nation that does. Nuclear weapons currently pose more of a threat as a tool of disaster by accident than by war.

To conclude，nuclear weapons have been shown too destructive and not to

be effective as a deterrent. They should be abolished so that countries can work towards solving their conflicts and accomplish peace.

[听力原文] My Mother

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I don't remember when it first started annoying me—her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough

against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, \do that anymore—your hands are too rough!\reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very dose, sometimes far away. But always it lurked, in the back of my mind.

(Evelyn is knocking at the door. ) Gary: Come in, come in!

Evelyn: Don't you know our movie starts at seven? And we were going to meet at the theater at five to seven. Then it doesn't make sense to meet at the apartment.

Gary: I'm sorry. We must have misunderstood each other.

Evelyn: Why don't you try to be clearer about your intentions? Gary: You're right. I am sorry. Let's go and watch the movie.
