    Wednesday, October 29,2008.
    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 like this: when they attacked Obama they would wear white suits and top hats and drive “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 Satates 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 Thursady.
    小题1:The passage is mainly about____________.
    A．Americans’ attitudes towards Barack ObarmaB．two young men planning to commit violence
    C．the violence in the United StatesD．the disadvantages of the Internet
    小题2:From the passage, we can know that the two young men_________.
    A．shot 14 students in an African – American school B．came from the state of Tennessee
    C．were proud of Barack ObamaD．have not been sentenced yet
    小题3:Which of the following shows the right order of the events?
    a．The two suspects were arrested.
    b．The two suspects will be tried in the court.
    c．Cowart set up his MySpace page on the Internet.
    d．Malcolm Wiley was interviewed by The New York Times.
    A．a; b; c; dB．d; c; b; aC．c; a; d; bD．c; a; b; d
    小题4:What can we infer from the news?
    A．Most of the white people in the United States don’t like Barack Obama.
    B．The two young men planned to shoot President Barack Obama.
    C．The two young men were innocent in fact.
