The Neutrality of American in the Early World War II
The establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which
culminated in war between Germany and the United States.The compete destruction of democracy,the persecution of Jews,
the war on religion,the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis,and especially the plans of Germany and her allies,Italy and
Japan,for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war.
While speaking out against Hitler's atrocities,the American people generally favored is out against policies and
neutrality.
The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them.In 1937 the President
was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion.
American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's“quarantine the aggressor”speech at Chicago
(1937)in which he severely criticized Hitler's policies.Germany's seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of
Czechoslovakia(1938)also aroused the American people.
The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March,1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich.In
August,1939 came the shock of the Nazi-soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European
war.
The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third
Reich.The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted“cash and carry”exports of arms to belligerent
nations.A strong national defense program was begun.
A draft act was passed(1940)to strengthen the military services.A Lend-lease Act(1941)authorized the President to
sell,exchange,or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States.Help was
given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the
Western Hemisphere.In August,1940 President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter
which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war.
In December,1941,Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor.Immediately thereafter,Germany declared war on the United States.

第二篇The American IndustryA history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the world's best,its workers the most skilled.America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed.It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominance proved painful.By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics,had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none:Zenith was bought by South Korea's LG Electronics in July.)Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America's machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors,which America had which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.All of this caused a crisis of confidence.Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted.They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America's industrial decline.Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.How things have changed!In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle.Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride."American industry has changed its structure,has gone on a diet,has learnt to be more quick-witted,"according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government,"It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity,"says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute,a think-tank in Washington,DC.And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as"a golden age of business management in the United States."What does"the American industry has gone on a diet"mean?A:Employees in the American industry are on a diet.B:The American industry has reduced redundant staff.C:The American industry has shrunk.D:The American industry has been made more efficient.

Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.After a short career in law,he turned to teaching,but he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.In response to the need for truly American textbooks,Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language,a three-volume work that consisted of a speller,a grammar,and a reader.The first volume,which was generally known as The American Spelling Book,was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of his life.Can you imagine that?Anyway,in 1807,Noah Webster began his greatest work,An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the manuscript,he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828,An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States.Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing many of the simplified spelling forms that distinguish American English from British.Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States by being awarded a copyright for The American Spelling Book and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties,that is,for author's rights.By the time that Webster brought out the second edition of his dictionary,which included 70,000 entries instead of the original 38,000, the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.It was this second edition that served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others, ironically,under the uncopyrighted Webster name.Webster remains active in promoting copyright protection throughout his life.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
