四级阅读题

　　这类文章一般在前面几段对中心话题的论述不清不楚，很难判断作者的褒贬态度，直到文章末尾才出现作者明确的态度或评价(且一般为负)。这种类型文章典型有一下几篇：91年6月人工心脏一文，97年6月冰箱一文，03年6月对人们无意识出差错研究一文，以及04年6月氢弹协会一文。以氢弹一文为例。

　　As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb， a group offirearm ( 火器 ) fans formed the National Hydrogen bomb Association， and they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop Americans from owning one.

　　The Constitution， said the associations spokesman， gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesnt spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb， the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.

　　Dont you think its dangerous to have one in the house， particularly where there are children around?

　　The National Hydrogen bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse (导火索 ) separately in a drawer.

　　Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.

　　The spokesman said， Hydrogen bombs dont kill people - people kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house， theyre going to think twice about breaking in.
