託福閱讀材料：第一次世界大戰前的內外政策
1889年美國召開泛美會議，1898年美西戰爭爆發，美國擊敗了西班牙，奪取了加勒比海的古巴和波多黎各、太平洋的關島及菲律賓羣島，接着合併了夏威夷羣島。1903年美國奪取了巴拿馬運河區。在遠東，1899年美國提出對華“門戶開放”政策。美國在1904-1905年日俄戰爭中支持日本。在日俄戰爭結束後，美日雙方經過談判，於1908年簽訂了羅脫—高平協定。在1912年總統選舉中，民主黨總統候選人T.W.威爾遜上臺。威爾遜以“新自由”作爲號召進行改革，降低關稅，建立聯邦儲備銀行制度，通過克萊頓反托拉斯法(1914)，徵收累進所得稅。該時期美國在對外政策上，對西半球墨西哥、尼加拉瓜等國進行了武裝干涉。
第一次世界大戰至20世紀20年代末的美國
第一次世界大戰開始後，美國宣佈中立，向交戰雙方提供軍火，不久又對協約國進行貸款。1916年，威爾遜當選連任。1917年，美國在德國潛艇擊沉美國船隻後，於4月6日對德宣戰。大戰期間由於國外移民中斷，黑人大量北移，並人伍出國作戰，開拓了視野。1918年11月，威爾遜簽署對德停戰協定。第一次世界大戰促進了美國的經濟繁榮。戰後，美國由欠60億美元的債務國而成爲貸出100億美元的債權國，美國成爲最富有的國家。1921年共和黨W.G.哈定執政，正值美國陷入全面經濟蕭條。他提出“工業正常化”和”搶救資本主義”政策;1923-1929年世界資本主義進人相對穩定時期。美國國內由於固定資本更新，建築業興起，汽車和鋼鐵工業等擴大以及商品和資本輸出激增，1923年美國工商業出現了新高漲。與此同時，美國第2次企業“合併浪潮”(即進一步托拉斯化)，遍及銀行業、工業部門，特別是水、電、煤氣公用事業，甚至擴展到零售商業部門。共和黨人C，柯立芝執政時期是美國經濟繁榮時期。私人壟斷資本大爲發展。但由於國內新興工業畸形發展與生產過剩，使國民經濟各部門比例嚴重失調，生產和消費脫節，農業長期陷於慢性危機，1929年10月美國首先爆發經濟危機，隨後資本主義各國陸續陷入1929-1933年世界性經濟危機。
大蕭條 (Great Depression)
=====================
20世紀30年代的美國
民主黨人F.D.羅斯福1933年就任第32屆總統。羅斯福政府實行了由國家對經濟進行廣泛干預、調節的“新政”，整頓金融，復興工農業，舉辦救濟事業等，挽救了美國的嚴重經濟危機，並加強了國家壟斷資本主義。1933年11月，美國與蘇聯建交，對拉丁美洲採取“睦鄰政策”。1937年新的經濟危機再度出現。次年，羅斯福採用擴大赤字開支的辦法，使這次危機有所緩解;第二次世界大戰爆發後，美國重振軍備，才使經濟得到恢復，走向繁榮。

睦鄰政策 (Good Neighbor Policy)
託福閱讀材料：隕石與人類起源研究
A meteorite found in Antarctica could lend weight to the argument that life on Earth might have been kick-started from space, scientists are claiming.
Chemical analysis of the meteorite shows it to be rich in the gas ammonia.
It contains the element nitrogen, found in the proteins and DNA that form the basis of life as we know it.
The researchers say meteorites like this could have showered the early Earth, providing the missing ingredients for life.
Details of the study by researchers at Arizona State University and the University of California, Santa Cruz, are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Life story
The new study is based on analysis of just under 4g of powder extracted from a meteorite called Grave Nunataks 95229 (named after its place of discovery in Antarctica), discovered in 1995.
On treatment, the powder sample was shown to contain abundant amounts of ammonia as well as hydrocarbons.
Professor Sandra Pizzarello, who led the research, says the study "shows that there are asteroids out there that when fragmented and become meteorites, could have showered the Earth with an attractive mix of components, including a large amount of ammonia".
Meteorites like this could have supplied the early Earth with enough nitrogen in the right form for primitive life forms to emerge, she says.
Previous studies have focused on the "Murchison" meteorite, which hit Australia in 1969, which was found to be rich in organic compounds.
The professor says Murchison is "too much of a good thing" and contains hydrocarbon molecules which you would expect to find at the end rather than the start of the life story.
She believes the composition of these compounds are too complex and too random in their molecular shape to have played a role in life on Earth.
Asteroid belt
The theory that our planet may have been seeded by a comet or asteroid arises partly from the belief the formative Earth might not have been able to provide the full inventory of simple molecules needed for the processes which led to primitive life.
The suggestions is that the Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter, away from the heat and pressure of the forming planets, could have been a better place for such processes.
Collisions between asteroids within the belt produce meteoroids which shoot off around the Solar System and which can carry materials to the Earth.
Dr Caroline Smith, a meteorite expert at London's Natural History Museum agrees the important element in the new study is the nitrogen, even though she would like to see similar results repeated in other meteorites.
"One of the problems with early biology on the early Earth is you need abundant nitrogen for all these prebiological processes to happen - and of course nitrogen is in ammonia.
"A lot of the evidence shows that ammonia was not present in much abundance in the early Earth, so where did it come from?"
What specifically caused life to begin on Earth remains a mystery. Professor Pizzarello hypothesises material from a meteorite may have interacted with environments on Earth such as volcanoes or tidal pools, but says all remains a matter of guess work.
"You find these extraterrestrial materials (in meteorites) which have what you need," she says, "but on the how and when, in which environments and by what means - really, we don't know."
"You can only say that yes, it seems that the extraterrestrial environments could have had the good stuff."
託福閱讀材料：童年幸福長大更容易離婚
常規想來，都會覺得童年幸福的人性格更加的活躍開朗，未來的人生道路也能順利坦然，然而一個驚人的發現雷倒衆人：童年幸福長大更容易離婚。
Those who enjoyed an idyllic childhood could find that life has a nasty trick in store because, it seems, they are more likely to divorce.
那些享受過幸福童年的人們或許在將來會發現，兒時的快樂在不經意間卻埋下了日後導致婚姻破裂的禍根。
Researchers found that men and women with a stable upbringing could have more confidence and so be more ready to leave a failing relationship.
研究者們發現，那些成長過程一帆風順的人羣們對於個人也有更多的自信，對於一段發展不順的感情關係也傾向於抽身離開。
For the long-term project at Cambridge University, thousands of Britons born in one week in 1946 were studied.
有一項英國劍橋大學的長期調查，研究了在1946年同一週所出生的英國人。
When they were in their teens, teachers rated them for happiness, friendliness and energy. Problems such as restlessness, disobedience and anxiety were noted.
他們在少年時期被認爲是幸福、有愛並充滿活力的孩子，不過也會出現按燥不安、忤逆不順與焦躁心煩等情況。
Decades later, information about their lives was also collected and analysed. Professor Felicia Huppert, director of the university’s Well-being Institute, commented on the findings on marriage break-up.
數十載後，研究者們再度對這批人的生活信息進行了收集與分析。該項目的主要負責人指出了造成該批人羣婚姻破裂的緣由。
‘One factor might be that positive children have higher self-esteem than their peers and are more willing to leave a marriage if it is not meeting their needs,’ she said.
“其中的一個因素是這些積極的孩子通常都有更高的自尊，以至於當他們發現婚禮以無法滿足他們的需求時便更加遠離結束這段關係。”
Other findings were more predictable.
