Unit 10 A Glimpse of the Age

Part I Getting ready

In 1969, one of the greatest technological achievements of the human race was accomplished. A human first set foot on another celestial body.

Audioscript：

Thirty-five years ago, on July 20. 1969. humans first set foot on another world. U.S. Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong descended from a landing craft named "Eagle" to become the first person to step on the moon, a momentous event he eloquently consecrated.

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

During their two-and-a-half hour moonwalk, the Apollo crewmen planted the U.S. flag in the soil and received a phone call from President Richard Nixon, who paid tribute to what he called their immense feat.

"Because of what you have done, the heavens have become a part of man's world. For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all the people on this Earth are truly one, one in their pride in what you have done."

21.5 hours after descent, astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin fired their ascent rockets and rejoined Michael Collins aboard the orbiting "Columbia" command module for the flight home, establishing forever what Mr. Armstrong has called Apollo 11's lasting legacy.

"The important achievement of Apollo was a demonstration that humanity is not forever chained to this planet, and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited."

Part II Standing on the moon

Alan Shepard is a U.S. astronaut, who walked on the moon in 1971. In an interview, Alan Shepard reminisced about his experience on the moon.

Audioscript：

On February 4, 1971, Alan Shepard, commander of the Apollo 14 space mission, became the fifth person to walk on the moon. He and fellow astronaut Edgar Mitchell spent nine hours and 2 3 minutes in space suits on the lunar surface. Their major job was to gather and photograph samples of the materials on the moon's surface, including rocks and stones, to take back to geologists on earth.

When he was asked about his lunar experience, Mitchell said, "What it did for me is really force me to get a picture of the universe from a totally different perspective and then start to question our conventional ways of looking at ourselves, our place in the universe, our place in life, what it's all about."

A year and a half earlier, on July 20, 1969, the astronauts of Apollo 11 had made the first landing on the moon. At that time, Commander Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. As he took his first step out of the lunar module, he radioed these words to the earth: "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind."

In a July 1994 interview with a writer for the New York Times, Alan Shepard talked about looking at earth: "I remember being struck by the fact that it looks so peaceful from that distance, but remembering on the other hand all the confrontation going on all over that planet and feeling a little sad that people on planet Earth couldn't see that same sight because obviously all the military and political differences become so insignificant seeing it from the distance."

Audioscript：

T -- Terry Gross A -- Alan Shepard

T：What surprised you most about how the surface of the moon looked?

A：I don't think we had any surprises about the actual surface of the moon -- about the barrenness. We had looked at pictures of our

landing site taken by previous missions. We had worked with

models that were made from those pictures. We knew the general configuration of where the craters were supposed to be. We knew the objective of Cone Crater, which was the one we climbed up

the side of to get rock samples. There weren't any surprises there.

The surprise I had was standing on the surface after we'd been

there for a few minutes, having a chance to rest a little bit, and

looking up at the earth for the first time -- you have to look up

because that's where it is. And the sky is totally black, and here

you have a planet which is four times the size of the moon as we look at it from the earth, and you also have color. You have a blue ocean(s) and the brown landmasses -- the brown continents -- and you can see ice on the ice caps on the North Pole, and so on. It's just an absolute, incredible view, and then you say -- ah -- hey -- um -- that looks a little small to me. It looks like it -- it does have limits. It's a little fragile. You know, down here we think it's

infinite. We don't worry about resources um. Up there you're

saying, "Gosh, you know, it's a shame those folks down there can't

get along together -- ah -- and think about trying to conserve, to

save what limited resources they have." And it's just very

emotional. I actually shed a couple of tears looking up at the earth and having those feelings.

Part III Nelson Mandela -- The Father

of South Africa

"As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison," Mandela said after he was freed in 1990. The prisoner-turned-president reconciled South Africa after the end of the apartheid. He held a special place in the consciousness of the nation and the world. On the evening of 5 December, 2013, Nelson Mandela joined the ancestors.

Audioscript：

Just before midnight local time in South Africa, President Jacob Zuma appeared on national television to announce that the father of modern South Africa had died. Nelson Mandela was 95.

Jacob Zuma: Fellows of Africans, our beloved Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, the founding president of our democratic nation, has departed.

Nelson Mandela had been suffering from a lung infection for some time. He spent three months in hospital earlier this year before being allowed home for treatment in September. The news of his death may have been expected, but that didn't soften the blow for many South Africans.

The South African president Jacob Zuma made a televised speech announcing details of Mr Mandela's funeral.

Jacob Zuma: He'll be laid to rest on the 15th of December in Qunu in the Eastern Cape Province. We should all work together to organize the most befitting funeral for this outstanding son of our country and the father of our young nation.

Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in jail, imprisoned by the white minority government to serve his efforts to fight injustice of apartheid. By the time he gained his freedom in 1990, he'd captured the imagination of people around the world. His greatest achievement was to then take South Africa into a new era without the widespread bloodshed that had been feared.

The memorial service for former South African President Nelson Mandela is set to be one of the largest gatherings of its kind in generations. Tens of thousands of mourners and almost 100 foreign

leaders are expected to attend the event at the FNB stadium in Johannesburg.

Audioscript：

The person I admire most in the world is Nelson Mandela. He was the President of South Africa during the 1990s, but before that he spent more than 25 years, I think, in prison. He was put in prison because of his political beliefs. He wanted to get equal rights for black people in South Africa, and the government put him in prison because of his political views ... um ... he was a lawyer before he went to prison and he represented himself at his trial. Some of the things he said during his trial were amazing. They're still famous speeches, I think.

The reason that I admire him is that in spite of the fact that he spent such a long time in prison he never changed his views. It would've been quite easy for him to perhaps stop campaigning for the rights of black people, but he never did that. Right until the end of his time in prison, he was still campaigning. When I went to South Africa, I met somebody who was in prison with him and it was amazing to hear about how they were ... they found it so easy to forgive the government and the people who'd put them in prison, they weren't bitter or angry about it.

I think he's really influenced the way people think about how they can make changes, political changes, by standing by what they believe in and stating their beliefs very clearly.

Part IV More about the topic:

World War I and II

What do wars bring to people? Death, suffering, destruction, atrocities. Two World Wars in the twentieth century were continuous in both time and space. They were fought day and night, winter and summer, over weeks and months at a time. In terms of lives lost and material destruction, World War II is the most devastating war in human history.

Audioscript：

The shots that rang out on the streets of Sarajevo in June 1914 were to change the world. On that day a young Serbian assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary. In retaliation, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Decades of simmering nationalistic hostilities quickly were unleashed. The principal belligerents on one side were Austria-Hungary and Germany, on the other, Britain, France, Russia, and in 1917, the United States. It was called the war to end all wars: World War I.

For four years the conflict raged, in trenches and in the air, with bullets, grenades and poison gas. By the summer of 1918, German forces were undefeated in the field, although the allied nations had had some significant successes. But then Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated and German politicians were left to sue for peace.

More than 8 million soldiers were killed or died during the hostilities. An estimated 12 million civilians also perished. In the aftermath of the war, huge changes occurred. The center of wealth transferred from Europe to the United States; the political map of Europe was significantly redrawn; and Germany was left in financial shambles, its people driven to the brink of starvation, a situation that helped lead to the rise of Adolf Hitler and, ultimately, World War II.

After the end of World War One, smoldering hostilities continued in much of Europe. In 1939, they erupted into the most destructive war in history. World War II raged across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific Islands, eventually costing the lives of tens of millions of civilians and soldiers.

Three events helped usher in World War II: Japan overran Manchuria; Italy, under fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, invaded Ethiopia; and most important, Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. He rearmed

the country, in violation of a treaty signed after World War I, and soon began to threaten other European nations.

For six years, the war unleashed atrocities on a scale never before seen, including the annihilation of six million Jews in Nazi death camps. And the world entered the nuclear age when the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945.

When the war finally ended, the world's political map was redrawn; Europe and Japan were in economic shambles; and the groundwork was laid for the decades long Cold War. Still, out of the conflict were born the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, the United Nations, and the hope that never again would the world face such a crucible.

Part V Do you know ...?

A kiss is usually very romantic, as both of the people love each other. Would you believe, however, that both persons although kissing in the picture didn't know each other for nearly fifty years? It is one of the most famous kisses in American history. Audioscript：

The photograph shows a man kissing a woman. And it's quite a kiss. He has a bent almost over backwards. The photographer was the renowned

Alfred Eisenstein , who published the picture on the cover of a nation wide magazine. But since the subject was kissing, it's hard to see their faces clearly. So for 50 years no one could figure out who they were.

It is one of the most famous kisses in American history: a sailor and a nurse in a victory embrace right in the middle of Broadway. The image was captured on 14 August, 1945 by photographer Alfred Eisenstein and printed on the cover of Life magazine. But the kissers whose faces are obscured remained anonymous for years. In 1980, Edith Sheng came forward to admit she was the nurse. Although she recognized herself from the minute she saw the magazine's cover, she said she was too embarrassed to tell anyone because she didn't know who the sailor in the picture was.

"I was just standing there and I... grabbed and this is a stranger. But this is a man who fought for us, and who helped end the war."

Miss Sheng says she's received several calls over the past 15 years from men who claimed to be the sailor who kissed her, but she says none of their stories rang true.

But Carols Muscarrela says he didn't have any trouble persuading Edith Sheng that he was the man in Eisenstein's photograph when he met her in July, nearly 50 years after their first encounter. Mr Muscarrela said

he didn't even know the picture had been taken because he was shipped out a few days later and didn't return for 3 months. He said his mother saw the picture, however, and was shocked.

"My mother went to visit the doctor's office in Berklin. This is several weeks after the photograph was taken and she picked up a magazine in the doctor's office and she said: 'This is my boy. This is my little boy.'" When he did learn about the picture, Carols said he didn't come forward to identify himself because he was happily married and really had no interest in the publicity. But, he says, a friend persuaded him to come forward for the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the most famous kiss in American history.

Part VII Watch and enjoy Videoscript：

November, 1960, senator John Fitzgerald Kennedy of Massachusetts wins one of the narrowest election victories in American history over Vice President Richard Nixon by a little more than 100 000 votes. Alongside his beautiful and elegant wife Jacqueline Bouvier, Kennedy is the symbol of the new freedom of the 1960s signifying change and upheaval to the American public.

Martin Luther King：All men are created equal.

Kennedy：Every degree of mind and spirit that I possess will be devoted to the cause of freedom around the world.

In October, 1962, the world comes to the brink of nuclear war when Kennedy quarantines Cuba after announcing the presence of offensive Soviet nuclear missiles 90 miles off American shores. Soviet ships with more missiles sail towards the island but at the last moment they turn back. The world breathes with relief.

Early that fatal summer Kennedy speaks of his new vision at the American university in Washington.

Kennedy：What kind of peace do I mean? And what kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by

American weapons of war. We must re-examine our own attitudes towards the Soviet Union. Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all

cherish our children's futures. And we're all mortal.

Voice from the broadcast：Here is a bulletin from CBS news. In Dallas Texas, three shots were fired at President Kennedy's

motorcade in downtown Dallas. The first reports say that President Kennedy has been seriously -- wounded by the shooting.

District Attorney：What's wrong?

Man：Boss, the President's been shot. In Dallas. Five minutes ago. District Attorney：Oh, no. How bad?

Man：There's no word yet. But they think it's in the head.

District Attorney：Come on. Napoleon's has a TV set.

Voice from the broadcast：Apparently three bullets were found.

Governor Connally also appeared to have been hit. The President was rushed by secret service to Parkland Memorial hospital, four miles from Daley plaza. We're told the bullet entered the base of

the throat and came out the back side. But there is no confirmation.

Blood transfusions are being given. A priest has administered the last rites.

District Attorney：There's still a chance. Come on, Jack, pull through.

Voice from the broadcast：From Dallas, Texas, the flash, apparently official: President Kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. Central Standard

Time, two o'clock Eastern Standard Time, some 38 minutes ago.

Vice President Johnson has left the hospital. Presumably he will

be taking the oath of office shortly and become the 36th president of the United States.

A black woman：He did so much for this country, for colored people.

I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong' she asked. 'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.' 'I would like that a lot,' she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said. Questions: 1.

'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said. We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.

Selina ... Selinar：Thanks, John. I have with me Eric, who's just flown in with Virgin Atlantic from the USA. Eric：That's right. I've just come back from New York. Selinar：Is it as dangerous as they say? Eric：No, New York isn't dangerous, no more than any other big city, especially if you're careful and don't advertise the fact that you're a tourist. Selinar：And is it true what they say about New Yorkers, that they're rude, and that they only care about themselves?

Eric：Well, I found the people were very friendly. However, they do have a reputation for not caring about other people. I think the reason for this is that life in New York is incredibly stressful. People just don't have the time to think about anybody else. It isn't that they don't care. Selinar：Is there anything else you noticed about New Yorkers? Eric：Two things I had heard about before I went to New York did seem to be true, though. First is that they are always talking about money and how much things cost.
