雅思阅读材料：朱利安.阿桑奇应被授予诺贝尔和平奖？

　　近日，维基解密创始人朱利安阿桑奇在英国自首，这也宣告了一个传奇人物的人生进入了另外一个阶段，但是俄罗斯竟然支持朱利安.阿桑奇应该被授予诺贝尔和平奖，这究竟是怎么回事？

　　Russia has suggested that Julian Assange should be awarded the Nobel peace prize, in an unexpected show of support from Moscow for the jailed WikiLeaks founder.

　　In what appears to be a calculated dig at the US, the Kremlin urged non-governmental organisations to think seriously about nominating Assange as a Nobel Prize laureate.

　　Public and non-governmental organisations should think of how to help him, the source from inside president Dmitry Medvedevs office told Russian news agencies. Speaking in Brussels, where Medvedev was attending a Russia-EU summit yesterday , the source went on: Maybe, nominate him as a Nobel Prize laureate.

　　Russias reflexively suspicious leadership appears to have come round to WikiLeaks, having decided that the ongoing torrent of disclosures are ultimately far more damaging and disastrous to Americas long-term geopolitical interests than they are to Russias.

　　The Kremlins initial reaction to stories dubbing Russia a corrupt mafia state and kleptocracy was, predictably, negative. Last week Medvedevs spokesman dubbed the revelations not worthy of comment while Putin raged that a US diplomatic cable comparing him to Batman and Medvedev to Robin was arrogant and unethical. State TV ignored the claims.
