Kingsley Football Club went to Bali, Indonesia, to celebrate the end of a successful season. Only half the team returned alive.
Seven members of the team from Australia were dead , murdered in a terrorist bomb attack (恐怖爆炸襲擊) that killed around 200 people and injured another 300.
The world suffered another “September 11 ” on October 12 , when terrorists left bombs outside two busy nightclubs in the resort of Kuta Beach , Bali.
After the bombs exploded , flames rushed through the buildings, pulling legs , arms and heads off the people who lay in its path. Many of the people in the club that night now lie under plastic sheets in Bali, black and unidentifiable (無法確認的) even to their closest family members.
After news of the attack reached them, many parents flew out to Bali to look for their loved ones. One British girl was only identifiable to her parents because they recognized her belt buckle (皮帶扣) .
Bomb survivor , Richard Hechnier , a 29-year-old Australian said , “I saw people on fire, people carrying others. Most were bleeding. It was chaos. It was dark except for the flames.
The victims were mainly westerners and many of them were Australians. For many young people in Australia, a trip to Bali is the first place they would visit without their parents, either after their school exams or in the case of Kingsley, to celebrate the end of the sporting season.
France , Germany , Britain , America , Sweden , South Korea , Singapore and New Zealand as well as Australia and Indonesia have all lost some citizens.
Two British rugby (橄欖球) players from China's Hong Kong were confirmed dead. Another five members of the Hong Kong team and two supporters are missing.
And people from Japan , Finland and China have been hurt in the attack.
An international team of investigators (調(diào)查人員) are hunting for clues and questioning suspects responsible for the explosion.
US President George W. Bush and Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri agreed to work together to find those behind the attack. The US believes the bombing was the work of a local terrorist group linked to the al Qaeda network (基地組織) .
Not only have the terrorists killed and hurt several hundred people , they have also frightened tourists away from the tropical islands of Indonesia. Thousands of tourists have already left the island and many more have cancelled planned holidays.

第一節(jié):閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。
On a visit to my home state, I had a chance to drive through Cazenovia, a village on the shores of Lake Cazenovia. It seemed to me as if in a dream. I saw again the lakeshore meadow(草地)that has always remained an unforgettable part of my childhood memory. It was the place of family picnics(野炊).
It was Grandma who had made it a rule to have the annual(每年的) outing. She had made known her wish that the family should meet each summer when travel was easier and eat together in the open air. It was her pleasure to have all her children, and their children, gather in the meadow, and spend the day eating, singing, playing, chatting, making jokes.
After so many years, I can still see her in my mind, a large figure, dressed in black although it was summer, seated under the shade of a large tree. The others spread around her, sitting on blankets on the grass. Despite(盡管) the joy, the family picnic was also a time of puzzlement(迷惑) for me. Who was this stranger in black with whom I could not speak?
What I knew of my grandmother, I heard from my mother: she believed in good food on the table. She knew you are what you eat and she loved America for all kinds of foods it provided to people like her, who, back in her home country, had been used to a simple life, with so little food.
We were about fifty kin (家族成員)gathered in that meadow, living proof of the family progress. Grandma’s sons and daughters all offered her services, goods and children. And yet, despite the good times and good food and the happy chatting people, I still felt a sense of strangeness. When I asked my mother why Grandma looked so strange and never spoke to us, I was told that Grandma’s home country was in Europe and she didn’t speak our language. In my eyes, she might as well have been from Mars(火星). I never remember hearing our own mother speak to her mother, although she must have. I only remember my shock at mother’s sadness when Grandma died. Was she crying for the silence that had existed like a wall between them?......
