If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is

12、impossiblethat he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free t

And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distort

20、ed （ 曲解 ） one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to knowits inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like.

22、opes, will always continue to do so.

28、 Yahya s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger s trip was given the code（ 密码 ） namePolo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight ill

29、ness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communicat

30、ion facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So beforeKissinger left, we agreed on a single code word Eureka which he would use if his mis

Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and soci

38、al views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers canbe either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals （ 丑闻 ） or c
