A Fire near WacoSix years later, in an about-face, the Federal Bureau of Investigation（FBI

A Fire near Waco

Six years later, in an about-face, the Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) admits that federal agents fired tear gas canisters capable of causing a fire at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas in 1993. But the official said the firing came several hours before the structure burst into flames, killing 80 people including the Davidians' leader, David Koresh.

"In looking into this, we've come across information that shows some canisters that can be deemed pyrotechnic in nature were fired—hours before the fire started,” the official said. “Devices were fired at the bunker, not at the main structure where the Davidians were camped out."

The FBI maintains it did not start what turned to be a series of fiery bursts of flames that ended a 51-day standoff between branch members and the federal government. "This doesn't change the bottom line that David Koresh started the fire and the government did not," the official said. "It simple shows that devices that could probably be flammable were used in the early morning hours. "

The law enforcement official said the canisters were fired not at the main structure where the Davidian members were camped out but at the nearby underground hunker. They bounced off the bunker's concrete roof and landed in an open field well, the official said. The canisters were fired at around 6 a. m., and the fire that destroyed the wooden compound started around noon, the official said. The official also added that other tear gas canisters used by agent that day were not flammable or potentially explosive.

While Coulson denied the grenades played a role in starting the fire, his statement marked the first time that any U. S. government official has publicly contradicted the government's position that federal agents used nothing on the final day of the siege at Waco that could have sparked the fire that engulfed the compound. The cause of the fiery end is a major focus of an ongoing inquiry by the Texas Rangers into the Waco siege.

The FBI official has NOT admitted that______.

A．the canisters were fired at the main structure

B．the canisters were fired hours before the fire started

C．federal agents fired tear gas canisters capable of causing a fire

D．other tear gas canisters that were not flammable or potentially explosive were also used

听力原文： Embattled Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid warned yesterday that he would

move against those who ignore him, after police and lawmakers disregarded his decision to fire the national police chief.

Suroyo Bimantoro defied Wahid's dismissal by attending a ceremony promoting police officers in Jakarta yester- day.

He late met with senior legislators who accused Wahid of violating the constitution by firing the chief without consulting parliament. More than 100 senior police generals signed a statemeat backing Bimantoro, the state news agency reported.

Bimantoro said he would only step down ff parliament asked him to, which is unlikely to happen.

Wahid's spokesman Yahya Staguf said that firing Bimantoro was constitutional and that the police chief had been meddling in politics.

He said Bimantoro was trying to create a rift between the President and Vice-Prresident, who many lawmakers want to replace Wahid if they oust him durning impeachment proceedings in August.

"Those actions will be considered insubordination and stem action will be taken if this is ignored," Wahid's spokesman said.

The president, facing impeachment over 'allegations of corruption and incompetence, which he denies, fired Bimantoro and several Cabinet ministers on Friday and condemned the police for their handling of recent violence in East Java, where officers shot and killed one of Wahid' s supporters last week.

Wahid ordered an investigation into the violence and warned police officers on Saturday not to disobey him, saying that those who did not accept Bimantoro's removal would be prosecuted for insubordination.

Lawmakers were not fazed.

"The police chief is still Bimantoro. He is still active," said Arifin Panigoro, a top lawmaker from Megawati' s party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle.

The powerful army is also hacking Bimantoro, the Takarta Post's Internet edition said yesterday, quoting unidentified sources.

Several senior army officers met late Saturday to discuss the situation, military spokesman Air Vice-Marshal Graito Usodo said, but he declined to say if the army was backing the police chief's stand against Wahid, calling it "a political matter." Wahid, a Muslim scholar, is from East Java and many people there revere him as a holy man and sage, regarding attempts to oust him so tantamount to sacrilege.

Wahid wanted to fire _______.

A．a cabinet member

B．the national police chief

C．a lawmaker

D．a Muslim scholar

听力原文： A Palestinian gunman opened fire in a Jewish religious school in west Jerusalem

on Thursday [killing at least eight Israeli students.] More than 30 others were wounded. It's the deadliest attack in Israel in two years. [The UN Security Council convened for an urgent session, but has failed to agree on a presidential statement condemning the Jerusalem attack.] Israel says the killings will not derail U. S. -sponsored peace talks. Witnesses say a gunman entered the crowded library study hall of the seminary and opened fire with an automatic weapon—creating a blood bath. [The gunman was later shot dead.] Students scrambled to flee the attack, some jumping out of windows. Police across Israel were ordered to boost their alert level for fear of additional attacks. [In response to the attack, Israel's Foreign Ministry says the country will never allow terrorism to achieve its goals. Spokesman of Israeli Foreign Ministry said Israel would continue fighting terrorism wherever it is in order to secure peace and stability in this region.] Tensions between Israel and Palestinians are high following the recent Israeli military incursions into Gaza, which killed at least 120 Palestinians. In the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, gunmen fired in the air to celebrate the attack.

A．At least 8.

B．More than 30.

In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flex

ible, and do not make mistakes. As one hanker said, "Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day." And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their transactions are "untouched by human hands" and therefore safe from human temptation. Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no conscience, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.

Computer criminals don't use guns. And even they arc caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it: it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City Bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else's account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler. When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records.

Some employees use the computer's power to get revenge on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty days' notice. In those thirty days, she erased all the company's computerized records.

Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is "the tip of the iceberg". As one official says, "I have the feeling that there is more crime ont there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who really know how a computer works."

The passage is mainly about ______.

A．computer crimes

B．banking via computer

C．computer errors

D．computer businesses

听力原文： Two teenagers were killed in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. Reports allege the two

听力原文： Two teenagers were killed in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.

Reports allege the two died when Palestinian police opened fire on rioters protesting at a death sentence handed down against a local man for slaying a policeman.

But Palestinian police chief General Ghazi Jabali denied his men were responsible for the killings and in- stead blamed the Israeli army, which in turn rejected his accusations outright.

Relatives identified the dead youths as Ala al-Hams, and Khamis Mahmud Salama, both 17.

Another six people, including a 10-year-old boy, were wounded in the violence which erupted in Yabna refugee camp after a Gaza City security court condemned Raed al-Attar to death for the February killing of a policeman.

"They were killed and their comrades wounded when Israeli soldiers on a lookout post near the Egyptian border opened fire on the crowd," Jahali told a press conference.

The Israelis were responding to shots fired by unknown assailants driving in a car near Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, he said.

"During that time, the Palestinian police did not intervene," Jabali said.

"We categorically reject all these accusations about a supposed Israeli army role in these incidents," an Israeli army spokesman told reporters. "No Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip was involved in any of the shots which caused casualties.'

Attar, 25, a Palestinian security force member, was accused of acting as a double agent for the Islamic Resistance Movement or Hamas, the main movement opposed to Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority and its peace accords with Israel.

An associate, Mohammed Abu Shamallah, 25, was sentenced to life in prison and a third man, Ossama Abu Tahar, 24, was jailed for 15 years at hard labor for involvement in the shooting.

It was the first time the Palestinian Authority has handed down the death sentence against a suspected member of Harms.

But it was not known if Arafat would sign the death warrant or commute Attar’s sentence to life in prison as he has done in all but three previous murder cases.

More than 2,500 people joined a funeral procession for Hamas, which turned into a protest march against the Palestinian Authority as it crossed Rafah to the local cemetery.

How many people were wounded in the violence erupted in Yabna refugee camp after Raed al-Attar was condemned to death？

A．17.

B．6.

C．20.

D．25.
