READING COMPREHENSION
TEXT A
"Have Americans **placent in the face of terrorism?" asks the Washington Post's Juliet Eilperin. The answer appears to be a qualified yes:
A Gallup poll relead Monday—which was conducted early April—found zero percent of Americans volunteering "terrorism" as the country's most important problem. Terrorism has ranked at 1 percent or below in six parate priorities polls conducted before the Monday Gallup poll, compared to above 20 percent in the year after the attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon
Julian Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, said the fac
t that Americans have not been on a heightened state of alert recently shows that "life just normalized after the attacks and following the creation of a rather elaborate counterterrorism program."
"That is the objective of effective policies," Zelizer wrote in an e-mail.
Nicely put. The relevant question here ems to be: should Americans **placent in the face of terrorism? Or, to phra it less provocatively: is "complacent" really the word we're looking for here? How about "calm", "level-headed", or "judicious"? The bombing in Boston on Tuesday was gruesome, awful and pointless, and it naturally riveted the nation due to its attention-grabbing tting. But that kind of attention-grabbing tting is precily what terrorists ek out, with the aim of distorting the public's perceptions of the actual threat. Planting two bombs at the Boston Marathon is a sick, twisted act of mass murder, but it doesn't necessarily augur any more widespread campaign of terrorism, and it doesn't imply the need for major behavioural or policy changes.
Unsurprisingly, there are tho who would find it politically uful to plunge Americans
back into a state of paranoia. Steve King, a conrvative congressman from Iowa, is trying to figure out some way to u the bombing to stem the tide of immigration reform. Ms Eilperin interviews Orrin Hatch, a Republican nator from Utah, and finds him in old 2002 mode.
世界杯主题曲歌词 So far, the respon to the bombings has been admirable precily becau it has been rather low-key. Politicians and most news agencies have refrained from speculating on the identity of the bombers. People have been loth to draw far-reaching conclusions in the abnce of data. If the American people can maintain that dispassionate attitude, it could go a long way towards reducing the incentive for people to commit acts of terrorism in the first place.
1. Juliet Eilperin cited Monday's Gallup poll results as evidence thatA. most Americans are deeply worried about the national curity. B. people are still in great pain over the loss of their families in 9/11. C. American people have **placent in face of terrorism. D. few people are satisfied with the current anti-terrorism campaign.
