     The United States federal government had two young men in the state of Tennessee arrested on October
22 on unknown charges.
     In court documents published on Monday, it came to light that the men had discussed attacking an African-
American school and killing 14 of them.
     Another crime was about planning to murder Presidential candidate Barack Obama. According to their
affidavits (口供), the suspects' "final act of violence" would be when they attacked Obama while wearing
white suits and top hats and driving"their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from
the windows."
     The two suspects are Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, http://wx.jtyjy.com/ Arkansas and Daniel
Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee. According to the court papers, they met last month over the Internet through
a friend. Schlesselman and Cowart are believed to share "very strong views" about White Power.
     Schlesselman listed "being racist" as his occupation on his MySpace page. He further wrote:"I'm white.
I'm proud. I get angry. I like guns."
     Cowart also had a MySpace page on which photos of guns were presented under a heading of "My Guns".
On his page he wrote, "Better to die quick fighting on your feet than to live forever begging on your knees."
     Some have questioned the pair's ability to carry out the charged plan, but authorities have been very
concerned about Obama as the first black presidential candidate from a major party.
     "We honestly don't know if they had the ability or the skill to carry out the kind of plan that they talked
about," said Malcolm Wiley, of the United States Secret Service in an interview with The New York Times.
"But we take any threat seriously no matter how big or how small it is."
     Cowart and Schlesselman are scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursday.

     A newly-wed couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters, including the Australian
floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami.
     Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately stranded in
Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms. Stefan Svanstrom and Erika Svanstrom.
     Travelling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of
the most tremendous cyclones (龙卷风) in the nation's history. From there, the couple, in their 20s, were
forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement floor of a shopping centre with 2,500 others. "Trees were being
knocked
over and big branches were scattered across the streets," Mr Svanstrom told Sweden's Express newspaper.
"We escaped by the skin of our teeth," said Svanstrom.
     They then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the
country to Perth where they narrowly escaped raging bush fires. The couple then flew to Christchurch, New
Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude 6.3 earthquake destroyed the city on February 22.
     Mrs. Svanstrom said, "When we got there the whole town was a war zone." "We could not visit the city
since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to Japan."
     But days after the Svanstroms arrived, Tokyo was rocked by Japan's largest earthquake since records
began. "The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings," Mr. Svantrom said. "It was like
the buildings were swaying back and forth." The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much
calmer visit to their last destination China.
     But Mr. Svanstrom, who also survived the destructive Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004,
said the marriage was still going strong. He added, "I know marriages have to endure some trials, but I think
we have been through most of them."
     "We've certainly experienced more than our fair share of catastrophes, but the most important thing is that
we're together and happy."
1. How many countries did the couple visit during their honeymoon?
A. 6.
B. 5.
C. 4.
D. 3.
2. What's the right order of the following things according to the passage?
a. The couple headed south to Brisbane.
b. The couple flew to Cairns.
c. The couple flew to Christchurch.
d. The couple were stranded in Munich.
A. a-b-c-d
B. a-c-b-d
C. d-b-c-a
D. d-b-a-c
3. By saying "We escaped by the skin of our teeth.", Mr. Svanstrom meant that _____.
A. The cyclones was tremendous
B. They escaped from the cyclones easily.
C. They had a narrow escape from the cyclones
D. There was something wrong with their teeth
4. According to the last two paragraphs, which word can best describe Mr. Svanstrom?
A. ambitious.
B. enthusiastic
C. considerate
D. optimistic
