听力原文: President Bush has strongly denounced photos showing the humiliating treatment of some prisoners by American soldiers in Iraq. The president told Arabic language television the actions are abhorrent and Americans are just as appalled about the incident as Ireqis.
The Bush administration spent another day Wednesday trying to contain the damage caused by the abuse, which the Army said may not have been an isolated incident. "It's a matter that reflects badly on my country," he said.
President Bush, appearing on the Duhai-based al-Arabiya television, expressing sorrow, but no apology, for the photographs of naked Iraqi prisoners being forced to simulate sex acts as smiling American soldiers looked on. "The practices that took place in that prison are abhorrent and they don't represent America," he said.
It is far from certain whether his comments can stem what has been a tide of Arab anger over the abuse that has led to criminal charges against six American soldiers and reprimands against at least six more. David Gergen served as a communications advisor to four American presidents.
What is President Bush's attitude towards the humiliating treatment of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers?

Ambiguous.
B. Negative.
C. Apologetic.
D. Supportive.

But indeed, in looking through the history of costume, seeking an answer to the questions we have propounded, we find there is little that is either beautiful or appropriate. One of the earliest forms is the Greek drapery which is exquisite for young girls. And then, I think we may be pardoned a little enthusiasm over the dress of the time of Charles I., beautiful indeed. And the dress for the children of that time must not be passed over. It was a very golden age of the little ones. I do not think that they have ever looked so lovely as they do in the pictures of that time. The dress of the last century in England is also peculiarly gracious and graceful, full' of harmony and beauty- In these days, when we have suffered dreadfully from the incursions of the modern milliner, we hear ladies boast that they do not wear a dress more than once. In the old days, when the dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment and wearing it many times and banding it down to their daughter--a process that would, I think, be quite appreciated by a modem husband when called upon to settle his wife's bills.
And how shall men dress? Men say that they do not particularly care how they dress, and that it is little matter. I am bound to reply that I do not think that you do. In all my journeys through the country, the only well-dressed men that I saw--I earnestly deprecate the polished indignation of your Fifth Avenue dandies--were the Western miners. Their wide-brimmed hats, which shaded their faces from the sun and protected them from the rain, and the cloak, which is by far the most beautiful piece of drapery ever invented, may well be dwelt on with admiration. Their high boots, too, were sensible and practical. They wore only what was comfortable, and therefore beautiful. As I looked at them I could not help thinking with regret' of the time when these picturesque miners would have made their fortunes and would go East to assume again all the abominations of modern fashionable attire. Indeed, so concerned was I that I made some of them promise that when they again appeared in the more crowded scenes of Eastern civilization they would still continue to wear their lovely costume.
The passage seems to suggest that______.

A. it is harder to choose nice dress for men than for women
B. historical costume was neither beautiful nor appropriate
C. nobility of dress would help improve the quality of art
D. the double waistcoats perpetuated in marble are dead

Tum chose to dedicate herself to political and social work for her people. She tells us in her autobiography what a difficult choice it was not to have a family. She was engaged, she tells us, and felt an obligation to the ancestral principle of seeking happiness not only for oneself but for one's family. A threat of ethnic cleansing of course lends extra weight to such an obligation. But she chose otherwise. She became an active member of the CUC. Then she participated in the founding of the organisation called the Revolutionary Christians. "We understood" revolutionary' in the real meaning of the word: ' transformation'. If I had chosen the armed struggle, I would be in the mountains now." Owing to her political activity, she has had to spend twelve years in exile in Mexico.
In her book A Strategy for Peace, the Swedish-American moral philosopher Sissela Bok describes what she calls the "pathology of partisanship", or the brutalizing effect of the use of violence. Whoever commits acts of violence will lose his humanity. Thus, violence breeds violence and hate breeds hate. She quotes the English poet Stephen Spender, who experienced this process in himself when he took part in the Spanish Civil War.. "It was clear to me that unless I cared about every murdered child impartially, I did not care about children being murdered at all." But how can one break out of the vicious circle of the pathology of partisanship? It is easy enough to keep out and call for non-violence or an end to hatred when one is not oneself confronted with the blind violence of the other side. Nor is it indeed our responsibility to judge or to condemn in such cases. What we can do, however, is to point to the shining individual examples of people who manage to preserve their humanity in brutal and violent surroundings, of persons who for that very reason compel our special respect and admiration. Such people give us a hope that there are ways out of the vicious circle.
Tum's autobiography' is an extraordinary human document. It describes cruelty in sober and matter-of-fact terms. Its driving force is moral indignation. In some connections, she also mentions her hatred of those responsible for the violence and repression. But at the same time, the account reflects a disarming humanity. Almost gaily, she notes funny little concrete details in an otherwise ruthless existence; with love, she describes Indian customs. I know no better example of her disarmin

A. its isolation from other cultures
B. the influence of infectious diseases
C. the result of avarice and cupidity
D. the genocide of the Indian people
