【題目】DALLAS – A suburban Dallas woman accused of killing her two young children told a 911 operator that she first tried to poison them because they were autistic(自閉癥) and she wanted "normal kids," then choked(窒息) them with a wire until they stopped moving, according to the recorded call.

Irving police on Wednesday released recordings of the 911 call after Saiqa Akhter was charged with capital murder in the death of her 5-year-old son, Zain Akhter and her 2-year-old daughter, Faryaal Akhter. Police said the children were attacked at the family's apartment Monday night.

In the recording released Wednesday, the woman identified herself as Saiqa Akhter and repeatedly told the operator she killed her two children. At one point, the woman hung up and the dispatcher(調(diào)度員) called her back.

"I killed both of them. I told you," she told the operator. Later, she explained that both children were lying motionless on the bed in the master bedroom.

"They are not doing anything. They are just blue and they are not taking any breaths and ... their heart is not beating," she said.

She told the operator she initially tried to poison the children with bathroom cleaner but they refused to drink it. When that didn't work, "I used a wire on their necks," she said.

When the operator asked the woman why she attacked her children, she said, "They're both not normal, not normal. They're autistic. Both are autistic." Pressed further, she said, "I don't want my children to be like that. ... I want normal kids."

Later, the dispatcher asked the woman what she was feeling. "Nothing," she responded.

At one point, water could be heard running in the background and the dispatcher asked what the woman what she was doing.

【題目】Energy independence has a nice ring to itDoesn’t it? If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.

“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辭的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though throughWhat is it we want independence from, exactly?

Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oilBut there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.

The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy runningYes, there is a trickle(涓涓細(xì)流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.

Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oilThey value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroadVast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protectionTo what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?

Third, there are benefits to tradeIt allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefitAnd although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.

There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economyWhen that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher pricesAt the same time, we obtain massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.
