Passage 1

It seems that fate was on the side of the Japanese. At 6:30 a.m. on 7 December a small Japanese submarine entered a prohibited area off Oahu and

was sunk by destroyers and aircraft. The naval watch-officer was informed and, in his turn, informed the Chiefs-of-Staff at Pearl Harbour; but for some reason

no general alert was given. More extraordinary still, it is a fact that at 7.00 a.m. the operator of a provisional detector station out in the Pacific belonging to the

American Army reported a large flight of aeroplanes about 210 kilometres from Oahu to the east-northeast. An army lieutenant decided that the aeroplanes

must obviously be friendly ones and took no action. An unusually cloudy sky added to Japanese luck. A routine dawn patrol of American aircraft had passed

over Oahu and reported nothing.

At 7:50 a.m. on that Sunday morning a great noise of approaching aircraft was heard on Oahu and at 7:55 the first bombs fell. Low-level bombers and

torpedo aircraft attacked the ships in the harbour and the naval installations; high-level bombers bombed the airfields and also Honolulu some 11 kilometres

away. The attacks were followed by fighter planes firing machine-guns with incendiary bullets, particularly at the planes on the airfield; some pocket

submarines attacked the harbour at the same time.

Just as there had been no adequate air or sea patrols, so inside Pearl Harbour no precautions against attack had been taken; warships were moored

close one against another and a large pro-portion of officers and ratings were on leave and many sleeping ashore. A similar peace-time carelessness pervaded

the Hickham army airfield close to Pearl Harbour and other aerodromes on the island. Before the last attack, which was made at 9:00 a.m. and which met with

heavy anti-airs craft and naval gun-fire, the Japanese were able to strafe their objectives almost without resistance and the aircraft were able to return to their

carriers to refuel and to return to the attack.

Of the eight battleships, the Arizona, California and Utah, a target ship, were sunk outright; the Oklahoma capsized shortly after being bombed; the

Nevada was set on fire and put out of action for many months; the three others were more or less seriously damaged. Considerable additional damages were

done to ships, a minelayer was sunk, three cruisers damaged, two destroyers sunk and another damaged. Some 2,300 officers and men were killed and some

hundreds of the nearly two thousand wounded died later. The Japanese are said to have lost 60 aircraft, whilst the Americans had 173 destroyed and over 100

damaged.

Passage 2

Joe works for a large auto-insurance company. He thought it wasn't hurt to leave the key in the truck when he filled his gas tank at a self-service gas

station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.

In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States---one every 20 seconds. If current trends continue, experts predict annual (每年

的) vehicle thefts (行窃) could be more than two millions by the end of the decade.

Vehicles theft is a common occurrence, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is surprising.

Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume (大量) of thefts. It …… 此处隐藏：5246字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
