①HONG KONG — An American veteran who had been held captive in North Korea for more than a month was headed back home to the United States on Saturday after his captors released him by citing his “sincere repentance” for his acts during the Korean War.Captive n/adj.: a captive person or animal is being kept imprisoned or enclosed Repentance n: if you show repentance for something you have done, you make it clear that you feel sorry for it.They showed no repentance during the trial.How long had the American veteran been detained, and where?
What did the captor declare when the veteran was freed?
②Merrill Newman, 85, of Palo Alto, Calif., took a flight from Beijing back to the United States after rejecting an offer from Vice President Joseph R.Biden Jr.to travel on Air Force Two on Mr.Biden’s later flight from Seoul.Mr.Newman’s plane was scheduled to arrive in San Francisco International Airport at 9:05 a.m.local time Saturday.What’s Mr.Biden’s flight schedule?
Joseph R.Biden attended the 1988 presidential election but failed.And he again participated in the 2008 presidential election and withdraw from it for some reasons.Since shortly following Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, Obama had been privately telling Biden that he was interested in finding an important place for him in a poible Obama administration.Biden declined Obama's first request to vets审查 him for the vice presidential slot（position）, fearing the vice presidency would represent a lo in status and voice from his senate position, but subsequently changed his mind.In a June 22, 2008, interview on NBC's Meet the Pre, Biden confirmed that, although he was not actively seeking a spot on the ticket, he
would accept the vice presidential nomination if offered.In early August, Obama and Biden met in secret to discu a poible vice-presidential relationship, and the two hit it off合得来well
personally.On August 22, 2008, Barack Obama announced that Biden would be his.竞选伙伴
③“I feel good,” Mr.Newman told reporters at the airport in Beijing,according the Aociated Pre.“I am very glad to be on my way home,” he said,praising North Korean officials “for the tolerance the government has given me to be on my way.”
For what reason the veteran praise North Korean official?
④North Korea’s action came after Mr.Newman read a stilted “apology” a week earlier in which he expreed regret for his actions during the war.While serving in Korea, Mr.Newman helped train anti-communist guerrillas, working with a unit that was particularly despised by Pyongyang for its daring raids on North Korean territory.With this trip back there, he was reconnecting with a place that figured so mrryuch in his past, but as he was leaving the country Oct.28 he was pulled of his plane by North Korean officers as it prepared to take off.Stilted: if someone speaks in a stilted way, they speak in a formal and unnatural way, because they are not relaxed.We made polite and stilted conversation.Please describe the word “Guerilla” in your own words?
Despised: adj.if you think sb.is despised, you dislike them and have a low opinion of them 鄙视
I will never，and never forgive him，I despise him.⑤On Saturday morning, American embay officials met Mr.Newman when he landed at Beijing Airport on a flight from Pyongyang, and they bought a ticket for him to fly back to San Francisco Saturday afternoon.An embay medical officer also brought a supply of Mr.Newman’s medications to him and confirmed he was well enough to fly back to the U.S.⑥Mr.Biden, who was in Seoul meeting South Korean leaders when Mr.Newman was released, praised North Korea’s decision to set him free, calling it “a positive thing” and adding that his office extended an offer to take him back to the U.S.on his plane.⑦“I offered him a ride home on Air Force Two, but as he pointed out, there’s a direct flight to San Francisco, his home,” Mr.Biden said, later
clarifying that he did not talk to Mr.Newman directly.“I don’t blame him.I’d be on that flight too.”
⑧Mr.Biden also reminded reporters that North Korea continues to hold Kenneth Bae, a Christian miionary who was sentenced in May to 15 years of hard labor for committing “hostile acts” against the North.Mr.Bae had entered North Korea from China to lead a tour group of businemen.Miionary n/adj.a Christian person who was sent to foreign land to teach people about Christianity.My mother likes me to be a miionary in Africa.hostile acts敌对行为
⑨In recent years, North Korea has detained several Americans, usually agreeing to let them go only after high-profile American figures visited Pyongyang to seek their release.North Korea’s state propagandists later
described such visits as American capitulation before its leaders, according to North Korean defectors.Analysts suspect North Korea tries to use such arrests to counter Washington’s diplomatic preure over its nuclear and miile programs and force it to engage with the regime.High-profile adj.a high-profile person or event attracts a lot of attention and publicity.备受瞩目的⑩In 2009, North Korea arrested two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, and sentenced them to 12 years of hard labor for illegally entering the North.But the women were pardoned and released five months later, after former President Bill Clinton visited Pyongyang and met with the North’s
then-leader, Kim Jong-il.In 2010, Aijalon Mahli Gomes, another American held in the North for “hostile acts,” was freed after former President Jimmy Carter visited Pyongyang and, according to North Korea, “apologized” for the man’s crime.11.“I think Mr.Newman’s old age was a key reason North Korea released him,” said Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korea specialist at Dongguk University in Seoul.“It has likely realized that it cannot hold such an old man too long without getting international condemnation.”
12.“It also wanted to show to the outside world that it could be flexible and respected humanitarian concerns,” he added.13.Following months of heightened tensions in the wake of North Korea’s nuclear test in February and ensuing United Nations sanctions, Pyongyang has recently tried to force the United States and its allies to engage it with a new
round of multilateral talks over its nuclear weapons program.Analysts, however, said it was unlikely that Mr.Newman’s release will lead Washington to ease its strict conditions for returning to such talks.14.Mr.Kim, the Dongguk analyst, said there were reasons North Korea was tougher on Mr.Bae than Mr.Newman.Mr.Bae was a Christian miionary who was accused of trying to spread Christianity inside the isolated country.The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, considers Christianity and other influences from the outside world a growing threat to his efforts to keep his people isolated and ideologically untainted and has ordered its government to root it out, South Korean intelligence officials said.Kim Jong-un金正恩
Root out: find the cause of the problem, and put it to an end, eradicate 根除 The Marshal元帅 must root out the traitors.Ideology n.an ideology is a set of beliefs, especially political beliefs on which the parties, countries or peoples base their actions.意识形态
