By about AD.500 the Mound Builder (筑堤人) culture was declining，perhaps because of attacks from other tribes or perhaps because of severe climatic changes that undermined agriculture.To the west another culture，based on intensive agriculture，was beginning to flourish.Its center was beneath
present-day St.Louis，and it radiated out to encompass most of the Mississippi watershed，from Wisconsin to Louisians and from Oklahoma to Tennessee.Thousands of villages were included in its orbit.By about AD.700 this Mississippian culture，as is known to archaeologists，began to send its influence eastward to transform. the life of most of the less technologically advanced woodland tribes.Like the Mound Builders of the
Ohio region，these tribes，probably influenced by Meso-American cultures through trade and warfare，built gigantic mounds as burial and ceremonial places.The largest of them，rising In four terraces to a height of one hundred feet，has a rectangular base of nearly fifteen acres，larger than that of the Great Pyramid of Egypt.Built between AD.900 and 1100 this huge earthwork faces the site of a palisaded (用栅围护) Indian city which contained more than one hundred small artificial mounds marking burial sites.Spread among them was a vast settlement containing some 30 000 people by current estimations.The finely crafted ornaments and tools recovered at Cahokia，as this center of Misissippi culture is called，
include elaborate ceramics (陶器) finely sculpted stonework，carefully embossed and engraved copper and mica (云母) sheets，and one funeral blanket fashioned from 12 000 shell beads.They indicate that Cahokia was a true urban center，with clustered housing，markets，and specialists in toolmaking，hide-dressing，potting，jewelry-making，weaving，and salt-making.

Soon after his appointment as secretary-general of the United Nations in 1997, Kofi Annan lamented that he was being accused of failing to reform. the world body in six weeks. "But what are you complaining about？" asked the Russian ambassador: "You've had more time than God." Ah, Mr. Annan quipped back, "but God had one big advantage. He worked alone without a General Assembly, a Security Council and [all] the committees."
Recounting that anecdote to journalists in New York this week, Mr. Annan sought to explain why a draft declaration on UN reform. and tackling world poverty, due to be endorsed by some 150 heads of state and government at a world summit in the city on September 14th16th, had turned into such a pale shadow of the proposals that he himself had put forward in March. "With 191 member states", he sighed, "it's not easy to get an agreement."
Most countries put the blame on the United States, in the form. of its abrasive new ambassador, John Bolton, for insisting at the end of August on hundreds of last minute amendments and a line-by-line renegotiation of a text most others had thought was almost settled. But a group of middle-income developing nations, including Pakistan, Cuba, Iran, Egypt, Syria and Venezuela, also came up with plenty of last-minute changes of their own. The risk of having no document at all, and thus nothing for the world's leaders to come to New York for, was averted only by marathon all-night and all-weekend talks.
The 35-page final document is not wholly devoid of substance. It calls for the creation of a Peacebuilding Commission to supervise the reconstruction of countries after wars; the replacement of the discredited UN Commission on Human Rights by a supposedly tougher Human Rights Council; the recognition of a new "responsibility to protect" peoples from genocide and other atrocities when national authorities fail to take action, including, if necessary, by force; and an "early" reform. of the Security Council. Although much pared down, all these proposals have at least survived.
Others have not. Either they proved so contentious that they were omitted altogether, such as the sections on disarmament and non-proliferation and the International Criminal Court, or they were watered down to little more than empty platitudes. The important section on collective security and the use of force no longer even mentions the vexed issue of pre-emptive strikes; meanwhile the section on terrorism condemns it "in all its forms and manifestations, committed by whomever, wherever and for whatever purposes", but fails to provide the clear definition the Americans wanted.
Both Mr. Annan and, more surprisingly, George Bush have nevertheless sought to put a good face on things, with Mr. Annan describing the summit document as "an important step forward" and Mr. Bush saying the UN had taken "the first steps" towards reform. Mr. Annan and Mr. Bolton are determined to go a lot further. It is now up to the General Assembly to flesh out the document's skeleton proposals and propose new ones. But its chances of success appear slim.
Who have recently listened to the story in the first paragraph of the text？
A．Ambassadors.
B．UN officials.
C．The world's leaders.
D．Reporters.

The decline in American manufacturing is a common refrain, particularly from Donald Trump. "Wedon&39;t make anything anymore," he told Fox News, while defending his own made-in-Mexicoclothing line.
Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades, and further tradedeals raise questions about whether new shocks could hit manufacturing.
But there is also a different way to look at the data.
Across the country, factory owners are now grappling with a new challenge: instead of having toomany workers, they may end up with too few. Despite trade competition and outsourcing, Americanmanufacturing still needs to replace tens of thousands of retiring boomers every years. Millennialsmay not be that interested in taking their place, other industries are recruiting them with similar orbetter pay.
For factory owners, it all adds up to stiff competition for workers－and upward pressure on wages. "They&39;re harder to find and they have job offers," says Jay Dunwell, president of Wolverine CoilSpring, a family-owned firm, "They may be coming [into the workforce], but they&39;ve been pluckedby other industries that are also doing an well as manufacturing," Mr. Dunwell has begun bringinghigh school juniors to the factory so they can get exposed to its culture.
At RoMan Manufacturing, a maker of electrical transformers and welding equipment that his fathercofounded in 1980, Robert Roth keep a close eye on the age of his nearly 200 workers, five areretiring this year. Mr. Roth has three community-college students enrolled in a work-placementprogram, with a starting wage of $13 an hour that rises to $17 after two years.
At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young Jason Stenquist looks flustered by the coppercoils he&39;s trying to assemble and the arrival of two visitors. It&39;s his first week on the job. Askedabout his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switching toelectrical engineering. "I love working with tools. I love creating." he says.
But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another major hurdle: parents,who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them toavoid the factory. Millennials "remember their father and mother both were laid off. They blame iton the manufacturing recession," says Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a businessdevelopment agency for western Michigan.
These concerns aren&39;t misplaced: Employment in manufacturing has fallen from 17 million in 1970to 12 million in 2013. When the recovery began, worker shortages first appeared in the high-skilledtrades. Now shortages are appearing at the mid-skill levels. "
The gap is between the jobs that take to skills and those that require a lot of skill," says Rob Spohr,a business professor at Montcalm Community College. "There&39;re enough people to fill the jobs atMcDonalds and other places where you don&39;t need to have much skill. It&39;s that gap in between, andthat&39;s where the problem is."
Julie Parks of Grand Rapids Community points to another key to luring Millennials intomanufacturing: a work/life balance. While their parents were content to work long hours, youngpeople value flexibility. "Overtime is not attractive to this generation. They really want to live theirlives," she says.
A、says that he switched to electrical engineering because he loves working with tools。
B、 points out that there are enough people to fill thejobs that don ’t need much skill 。
C、points out that the US doesn’t manu facture anything anymore。
D、believes that it is important to keep a close eye on the age of his workers。
[E] says that for factory owners，workers are harder to find because of stiff competition。
[F] points out that a work/life balance can attract young people into manufacturing。
[G] says that the manufacturing recession is to15 blame for the lay-off the young people’s parents 。
