After the September 11 terrorist attacks, some high schools in America wanted the students to pledge allegiance (宣誓效忠) to the flag. Is it necessary? Let's see what the kids think of this requirement.

Lea Mouallem, Marymount High School

I believe that saying the Pledge of Allegiance is a way of reminding our country that no matter what happens, we are united. I don't think our president wants us to go and join the army now, but he wants to tell us that we will be able to overcome the disaster as a whole nation that is working together.

Harry Chin, 15 , Culver City High School

I am not for the Pledge of Allegiance and I am not against it either because I just say it so many times that it loses meaning. I say it every day at school in the second period. It doesn't mean anything any more.

David Tran, 15, Warren High School

The Pledge of Allegiance is another sign of country. We should have some respect for it. In many schools, we don't say the Pledge every morning—we just stand up and let the National Anthem (國歌) ring through the silence. We said the Pledge of Allegiance on September 12.

Danny Maryanor, 16, Santa Monica High School

　　I wonder why we were suddenly asked to recite the Pledge when many of us stopped after elementary school; and the Pledge was recited before the play of“Ode to Joy”(歡樂頌) with recorders. This was not to express patriotism(愛國主義) , or even to remember those who lost their lives on Sept. 11.

　　I feel I cannot support a nation that in this time of crisis(危機) looks outward for revenge (報復) instead of inward for peace. Perhaps we should think more about our problems.

Answer 1

答案：B;B;A;D
解析：

1．B　　導解：關于“9．11”之后美國中學的這一做法，大家看法不一樣，有些人贊成，也有人反對，因此選B，“并非所有人同意宣誓效忠”。這一做法在有些中學執行，因此A錯。 　　2．B　　導解：從文中可知，在“9．11”之后，David說在九月十二日，美國中學開始宣誓這一做法。 　　3．A　　導解：文中提到四個人，其中Lea Mouallem, David Tran贊成這一做法，Danny Maryanor反對，Harry Chin無所謂。 　　4．D　　導解：四個選項中選D，Lea Mouallem與Tran贊同這么做，Danny認為對于恐怖襲擊美國也應負一部分責任。
