二、News report
Walter Cronkite, perhaps America’s best-known journalist in recent years, has died at his
home in New York at the age of 92.
During his years as the prenter of the evening news at CBS, Cronkite appeared every evening in American homes, and was always a comforting prence, with his calm voice and gentle style. He was respected, listened to and liked.
From 1962 to 1981, Walter Cronkite was the main prenter of the CBS evening news, reporting wars, natural
diasters, social landings on the moon. Most famously, in 1963 he told the nation that President Kennedy had died. In an unusual show of feelings, he took off his glass, wiped his eyes of tears, and reflected the emotion of millions.
In 1968 Cronkite made a special programme on the Vietnam War. His conclusion was that it could not be brought to an end by military action, and that the two sides should begin peace discussions immediately. When President Johnson heard this, he said, “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.”
Cronkite was named the most respected man in America. For nearly 20 years, he finished all his broadcasts with the line, “And that’s the way it is”, nding millions of Americans to sleep with the words of “the most trusted voice in America.”
A comforting prence:an appearance of someone which makes peop鸢鸢相报
le feel safe even when the news is bad.
Natural disasters:such as floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons etc.
If I’ve lost Cronkite, I have lost Middle America. :If Cronkite does not any longer support my policies, most ordinary Americans no longer believe they are right.
