C[来源:学科网]

Jody Williams was born in Vermont in 1950. Like many teenagers of her generation, she became devoted to the idea of peace while being against the war in Vietnam when young.

In late 1991, Bobby Muller, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, called Williams to see if she was interested in working together to ban landmines worldwide. She was glad to make use of the opportunity to persuade non-governmental organizations to support this worthwhile idea. Millions of landmines remain buried in the ground in countries around the world long after the wars in which they were used have ended.

In October 1992, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was formally set up. The ICBL called for an end to the use, production, and trade of landmines. As the campaign's leader, Williams wrote and spoke widely on the landmine problem and the need for a total ban.

Together with Shawn Roberts, she wrote a book that described the hidden costs of landmine use, such as the long-term effects of landmines. The landmines mean that people cannot travel or work safely. Land goes unused, causing unemployment and poverty. There is also the huge cost of treating landmine victims.

Their efforts were rewarded in 1996, when a meeting hosted by the Canadian government agreed to write out an international treaty banning landmines. In December 1997, the treaty was signed, with the support of 122 countries. In five years, Jody Williams and the ICBL have achieved their goal of introducing a landmine ban. The Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee awarded Williams and the ICBL the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year.

To date, more than 156 countries have signed the landmine ban treaty.

51. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

   A. Jody Williams served during the war in Vietnam.

   B. Bobby Muller put forward the idea of banning landmines.

   C. Jody Williams is 62 years old now.

   D. 122 countries signed the landmine ban treaty in 1997.

52. Jody Williams' book is about ________.

   A. how to reduce the bad effects of landmines

   B. what the possible bad effects of landmines are

   C. how much it costs to remove the hidden landmines

   D. what the government can do to remove the hidden landmines

53. An international treaty banning landmines was made in ________.

   A. 1991   B. 1992   C. 1996   D. 1997

54. What's the correct order of the following events?

   a. The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was officially set up?

   b. Bobby Muller called Williams to tell about his great idea.

D

He slept in my arms last night, with his little head on my shoulder. I stayed awake listening to his breathing. He smiled in his sleep, and I wondered what could be funny to a one-year-old baby. I could sense the safety he felt.

However, my home life is completely different from the scene that greets me each morning at work. As a lawyer at Eastlake Juvenile Court, I always see kids that society has labeled the worst of the worst, the “thief”, the “robber”, the list goes on. But they are still children. As I sit across from them, I have a chance to talk to them about their lives, their homes, and their dreams. I sit through tears, I sit through anger, but mostly I sit through hurt. I see their parents, most of whom sit in the hallways day after day wanting to take their kids home. I also see mothers and fathers that come to the court ready to walk away from their children forever. Each day I see hope destroyed.

Every day when I go home, I hold my children tightly in my arms and say “I love you” over and over again. I live in two worlds, one of promise, one of tragedy. No matter what they are accused of, what crimes they have carried out and what society thinks of them, they are our children and our future.

   A. described   B. praised   C. chosen   D. designed

57. What's the author's attitude towards the children who break laws.

   A. Relaxed.    B. Angry    C. Hopeful.   D. Doubtful.
