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, 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. a; b; c; d                  B. d; c; b; a                  C. c; a; d; b                  D. c; a; b; d

       B. Most of the white people in the United States don’t like Barack Obama.

       C. The two young men planned to shoot President Barack Obama.

The Writers' Strike：Making the Best of the Worst

  By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike-the decision of television writers to stop working．With few new TV shows，I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period·

    Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV. With a most perfect cast(全体演员)，the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family，a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.

For more comedy goodness，I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast．30 Rock．Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin，two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.

If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking , If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .

If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV, Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.

67．If you are fond of soapy TV shows，you will probably choose to watch      

    A．Fridav Night Lights                       B．30 Rock

    C．the Amazing Race                                D．Saturday Night Live

68．From the DVD shows listed above，we can learn that　　　

    A．two teams won the amazing race

    B．football fans enjoy the Amazing Race

    C．the Bluths care about their family though selfish

    D．30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common

69．The author writes the passage to tell us that       

    A．the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great

    B．the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation

    C．watching DVD is a good choice during the strike

    D．we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes

70．The passage is most probably taken from      

    A．a book review     B．a newspaper       C. a film poster       D．a  DVD menu
