These days, Americans worry most about an economic recovery that President Obama calls "painfully slow". But on Saturday millions will remember the day al-Qaida terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington. Another hijacked plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania when passengers rebelled. Close to three thousand people died that day. Next year will be a big anniversary, ten years since the day Americans call 9-11.

       But this September eleventh comes at an uneasy time. A large number of Americans say they oppose plans to build an Islamic center near the World Trade Center site in New York. This week attention centered on a Christian minister(基督教事工) with a small following in the state of Florida.

       Reverend Terry Jones said he would mark the 9-11 anniversary by burning copies of the Quran(可兰经). He said he wanted to send a message to Islamic extremists. He said, "We are not hateful toward Muslims. We are not aiming this at Muslims, we are aiming this at Sharia law(伊斯兰教教法)."

       Political and religious leaders around the world had condemned him. The plan even led the State Department to warn American travelers to avoid places where protests(抗议) might take place.

       President Obama said burning Qurans could endanger American troops and invite more extremism. Defense Secretary Robert Gates called Mr. Jones on Thursday to urge him to reconsider.

Administration officials called the idea of burning Qurans "un-American." But they also agreed that it would be within constitutional rights, like protesters who burn American flags. The Constitution guarantees free speech and bars the government from restricting the practice of religion.

According to this news article how many things made this September 11 uneasy? (No more than 1 word)

What did the State Department think would happen after Reverend revealed his plan? (No more than 4 words)

How did the government prevent the situation becoming worse? (No more than 9 words)

Why couldn’t the US government forbid Reverend to burn Qurans? (No more than 7 words)

       One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents’ old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter’s wedding. We had to  36  a great climbing plant that had grown  37  a roof beam（房梁），so that we could repair the roof and   38  the walls.

       When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a  39  of a blackbird that had made its home in the leaves. He then  40  something  41  among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth around it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his  42  ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet（手镯）. He ran into the house to  43  me.

       “You won’t believe that the   44  blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we   45  to feed on,” he said,“but they also want their children to  46  in a cradle（摇摆）of gold!”

       When my daughter came over on the eve of the  47  ,we told her about this   48  occurrence.

       “Don’t you remember, Mother?” she said with a loud   49  .“When I was eight, you gave me a bracelet that I   50  a few days later while out playing in the yard? It was this one!”

       As the bracelet no longer  51  its owner and was dirty, I decided to take it into my safekeeping.

       In December of the following year, the young couple’s baby son was baptized（受洗礼）.Among the   52  the newborn baby received, I placed his mother’s bracelet, now shining like  53  . I hope that if my grandson  54  loses it, one of the   55  that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.
