JFK Assassination

One of the most historic events of the 20th century was the assassination of US president, John Kennedy.

Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States, serving as president from January 1961 until November 1963.

During his time in office, the US entered the space race with the Soviet Union.

Kennedy pledged that the US would land a man on the moon by the end of the decade.【填空】【跟讀】

Unfortunately,? he never lived to see this happen.

【選擇】-What didn't he live to see?? ? -The landing of a man on the moon.

【跟讀】He never lived to see the landing of a man on the moon.


In October of 1962, the US and the Soviet Union came dangerously close to entering a full-scale nuclear war.

This event was known as the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Kennedy's skillful handling of the situation, along with that of his Soviet counterpart, Nikita Khrushchev, helped save the world from a nuclear catastrophe.【填空】肯尼迪和蘇聯(lián)總統(tǒng)赫魯曉夫巧妙地處理了局勢,使世界免于一場核災(zāi)難消别。

Following this event, his approval rating in the United States improved from 66% to 77%.

To many, he was considered to be the type of leader who could build a better world.

【選擇】-What type of leader did many consider him to be?? ? -One could build a better world.

【跟讀】His approval rating improved to 77 percent after the Cuban Missle Crisis.


On November 22, 1963, Kennedy's presidency came to a sudden and tragic end.

He was shot and killed while riding in a motorcade in the city of Dallas, Texas.

Kennedy and his wife were sitting in an open car, waving to a large crowd of people when he was shot.

They were sitting in an open car, with no protection, because the sky was clear.【跟讀】

It had rained until about 10 a.m., but then the sun came out.

If the sky hadn't cleared, there would have been a bubble top, or clear roof, on the car.?

This would have prevented the assassination.

Kennedy wanted it down so that he could be closer to the crowds who were there to greet him.

【選擇】-What allowed them to be in an open car?? ?-The sky had cleared.

【跟讀】If the sky hadn't cleared couldn't have been in an open car.


Another factor that contributed to the assassination was the route of the motorcade through the city.

The route was published several days earlier in the local newspapers.【跟讀】

The motorcade was to pass through downtown Dallas and round a sharp corner near the building where the assassin worked.

From that building, there was a clear view of the president's car.?【跟讀】

If the route had been different, the assassination probably wouldn't have taken place.

【選擇】-What made it possible for the assassin to get a clear shot of the president's car?? ? ?-The motorcade passed close by the building where he worked.

【跟讀】The motorcade passed close by the building where he worked.


The president was struck by two bullets, but it was the second one that probably killed him.

That was the fatal shot.

It opened a massive wound in his head.

Sitting beside him, his wife's last words to her husband were: "Jack, Jack, can you hear me? I love you, Jack."

The assassin's quick shots were incredibly accurate.

If the fatal shot had been off by just a little, Kennedy might have survived.

【跟讀】The fatal shot was the one that killed the president.


So if any of these factors had been different, history would have changed.【跟讀】

Kennedy's death disillusioned many Americans who had been inspired by his vision for the future.

With his death, a whole generation of Americans woke up to a reality where their dreams for a brighter future had been shattered. 【朗讀】

【選擇】-What happened to the dreams of many Americans when Kennedy was assassinated?? ? -shattered (The assassination of Kennedy shattered the dreams of many Americans.)

shatter??vt. 粉碎吁伺;打碎履磨;破壞铸董;破掉窟感;使散開? ? ?vi. 粉碎门烂;損壞习贫;落葉? ? n. 碎片逛球;亂七八糟的狀態(tài)

【跟讀】It's highly unlikely that the assassin would have used that location had the view not been clear.
