8、money. The newly elected president did this as part of his New Deal economic plan during the Great Depression. Private ownership of gold that was not in the form of jewelry or collectable coins became illegal. So people who owned gold exchanged it with the government for paper money. Soon, the gover
9、nment needed a safe place to store its growing amounts of gold. The Treasury Department(财政部)started building the Fort Knox depository(仓库)in nineteen thirty-six. As you can imagine, the building has very high security (安全性). In fact, the term “Fort Knox” is used in popular language to describe someth
10、ing that is carefully protected. The gold is housed in a two-level vault(保险库)made of concrete and steel. The Treasury Department Web site says no one person knows the code that opens the vault. Instead, several people must each enter a separate code to unlock it. Other valuable objects have been sto
11、red at Fort Knox over the years. These include the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta and three versions of the Gutenberg Bible.

This year, the twelve-day festival is showing one hundred fifteen movies from thirty countries. Flo Stone created the En
16、vironmental Film Festival in Washington in nineteen ninety-three. She believed it was important for people to be able to see high-quality films about the environment and discuss them together. She felt the subject of the environment, examined with the artistry of filmmakers, could be an influential
17、source of learning. People can see these films in embassies, movie theaters and museums around the nations capital. Some movies star wild animals. This year, in “Edge of Eden: Living With Grizzlies,” Canadian filmmakers Jeff and Sue Turner explore the work of bear expert Charlie Russell. For over te
18、n years Mister Russell worked to raise rescued baby bears in a protected area of eastern Russia. “Edge of Eden” shows him playing with the bears, feeding them and even protecting them from larger wild bears. The movie makes a powerful statement about the need to protect these animals before they dis
19、appear from the wild. In “Animals in Love” French director Laurent Charbonnier looks at the movements, songs and dances that eighty kinds of animals use in order to find a mate. Some movies explore economic issues. One Kenyan movie examines the lives of people struggling to survive in the Kibera par
20、t of Nairobi. About a million people live in poverty in this area. Another movie, “All in This Tea,” looks at the way modern life has changed the traditions of the tea trade in China. The movie “The Price of Sugar” examines the difficult life of Haitian immigrants working for sugar companies in the
21、Dominican Republic.And several movies at the festival are old favorites.

25、sary (周年纪念日) of the part of the Vietnam Veterans (退伍军人) Memorial known as the Wall. The Wall is two large, shiny, black stones built into the ground, forming the letter V. The names of more than fifty-eight thousand Americans are cut into the stone. These are the names of those who died or who are m
26、issing as a result of their service in Vietnam. As part of the anniversary observance(仪式), the names of all those listed on the Wall are being read aloud this week. The Wall has the power to create strong feelings. The shiny black stone acts like a mirror. It seems to draw in visitors so that they t
27、oo are part of the Wall. This is especially emotional for those visitors who served in Vietnam and for the family members of those killed there.Vietnam Veteran Jan Scruggs thought of the idea for the memorial as a way to honor those killed in one of Americas most divisive(有争议的)wars. He formed an org
28、anization to build the memorial. In nineteen eighty, a competition was held to choose the design. Judges considered more than one thousand designs. They chose the design of a twenty-one-year-old Yale University student, Maya Lin. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was officially opened on November thirte
29、enth, nineteen eighty-two. The design of the memorial caused great debate. Supporters thought it was simple and powerful. But some people said it was not personal enough and did not show the heroic efforts of those who fought in the war.As a result, other structures were added to the memorial. They
30、are The Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Vietnam Womens Memorial statue. A special plaque(纪念匾)honors those who died later as a result of injuries from the war. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is the most visited memorial in the nations capital. More than four million people visit each year. Some visi
31、tors make a copy of one of the names on the Wall. Others leave a special object of love and remembrance. Visitors have left tens of thousands of such objects at the Wall. These include flowers, letters, poems, toys, photographs, baseballs and military medals. These objects are links between those who were killed and those who will always remember them. 1. The best title of this passage would be _.A. Anniversary of the Wall B. Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Its TouristsC. Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Vietnam Women
