1． Louisiana Purchase-路易斯安那购地—自己做决定的重要性
关键词：Thomas Jefferson, unconstitutional, opposition, at a critical juncture
主要内容：
第一段带有中文翻译，第二段只有英文，这两段应该足够大家看懂了整个事件的背景了。
The land included in the purchase comprises around 23% of the territory of the modern United States. The purchase was an important moment in the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. At the time, it faced domestic opposition as being possibly unconstitutional. Although he felt that the Constitution did not contain any provisions for acquiring territory, Jefferson decided to purchase Louisiana because he felt uneasy about France and Spain having the power to block American traders' access to the port of New Orleans.
此次购买的土地包含了现代美国领土约23%的面积，是托马斯"杰弗逊执政时期的一项重大事宜。当时，这项提议面临着国内极大反对的声浪，认为这不符合宪法的规定。尽管杰弗逊认为宪法没有包含任何关于获取领土的规定，但是他依然决定购买路易斯安那，因为他担心法国和西班牙在当时拥有过大的实力来阻隔美国通向新奥尔良地区的商路。
France' offer to sell the vast Louisiana Territory to the United States in 1803 sparked a constitutional dilemma. President Thomas Jefferson wanted to purchase the territory, which would double the size of the United States. But Jefferson also favored a narrow interpretation of the Constitution—and nowhere did it provide for acquiring additional territory. Because of the need to act quickly on the deal, there was no time to amend the Constitution. Instead, the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans in Congress passed legislation that gave the President permission to sign a treaty to receive the territory, and Congress appropriated the money to pay for it. Congress acted under the provision of the Constitution (Article 5, Section 3) that gave Congress the power to regulate the territories, arguing that that power included the right to purchase new territories. Congress and the President therefore stretched the Constitution to fit new circumstances and solve their dilemma.

2. Alaska Purchase—take risks 的意义
关键词：“Seward’s Folly”, gold was discovered in Alaska in 1897, the deal paid off thousands of times over.
主要内容：
你怎么评断一个州的价值？在1867年3月30日，国务卿威廉．西华 (William H. Seward) 同意从苏联手中以7百万美金的代价买下阿拉斯加地区。你是否觉得用来购买这片没经过探索的土地的代价太过于昂贵了呢？在那个时候，有人批评西华疯了，并称这个为「西华的蠢事」。因为以这么高的代价买下这个「西华的冰柜」，以及安德鲁．詹森的「北极熊的花园」，西华遭到各界的嘲笑。
How much do you think a state is worth? On March 30, 1867, Secretary of State William H. Seward agreed to purchase Alaska from Russia for $7 million. Do you think this was too much to pay for a piece of land that was mostly unexplored? At the time, critics thought Seward was crazy and called the deal "Seward's folly." Seward was laughed at for his willingness to spend so much on "Seward's icebox" and Andrew Johnson's "polar bear garden."

但是西华很久以前就想要买下阿拉斯加了。阿拉斯加的幅员广大，可以让美国领土扩大20％。俄国在18世纪早期就在阿拉斯加地区创建基地，并且在詹姆士．布坎南 (James Buchanan) 总统在位时就想要卖给美国。但是因为内战的爆发，两国的谈判宣告中断。战争退出之后，西华花了很多心力说服参议院，让议员们相信阿拉斯加对美国是相当重要的。参议院最后以一票之差批准购买条约，决定购买阿拉斯加。你觉得买下阿拉斯加是聪明的吗？
But Seward had wanted to buy Alaska for a long time. Alaska is so large that the addition of this land would increase the size of the U.S. by nearly 20 percent. Russia had established a presence in Alaska in the early 18th century and offered to sell it to the United States during President James Buchanan's administration. But the Civil War stalled negotiations. After the war, it was not easy for Seward to convince the Senate that Alaska would be an important addition to the United States. The Senate ratified the treaty that approved the purchase by just one vote. Was buying Alaska a good move?

最后事实证明，购买阿拉斯加是相当正确的决定。大量金矿在1880年代与1890年代被发现。这些发现让阿拉斯加得到政府的注意，也吸引了许多人前往。现在，藉由油管从阿拉斯加传到美国本土的石油，也是当地方丰富矿产之一。你知道阿拉斯加什么时候成为美国的一州吗？
Ultimately, buying Alaska proved to be a very good move. Major discoveries of gold were made there in the 1880s and 1890s. These discoveries brought attention and people to Alaska. Today, petroleum transported across the state through a pipeline is Alaska's richest mineral resource. Do you know when Alaska became a state?

在1946年，阿拉斯加自主成为一州，并且在1955年制订州宪法。1959年1月3日，艾森豪(Eisenhower)总统宣布阿拉斯加正式添加联邦，成为美国的第49州。你知道阿拉斯加这个全美国最大的州现在价值多少钱吗？
In 1946, Alaskans approved statehood and adopted a constitution in 1955. On January 3, 1959, President Eisenhower announced Alaska's entrance into the Union as the 49th state. How much do you think Alaska, the nation's largest state, would be worth today?
The nickname of the 49th state, Alaska, is the "Last Frontier." Purchased from Russia for $7 million in 1867, Alaska is the largest state in area and is the largest peninsula in the Western Hemisphere. Mt. McKinley in the Alaska Range is North America's highest peak at 20,320 feet and one of the greatest challenges for mountain climbers. Juneau is the state's capital, and the state flower is the pale-blue forget-me-not.

身为美国第49州的阿拉斯加，是1867年时，以美金七百万的代价，自苏俄手中购得，因而它的别名是「最后的荒野」(Last Frontier)。阿拉斯加是美国50州内面积最大的州，也是西半球最大的半岛。阿拉斯加山脉的马金利山是登山者的极致挑战，高20,320英尺的它是北美洲境内最高的一座山。阿拉斯加的首府是朱诺(Juneau)，而它的州花是淡蓝色的勿忘我。

4. Andrew Carnegie ---读书的意义、儿童业余工作时间的利弊，过去成功容易还是现在成功容易（类似的个人几乎控制整个行业的例子当然还有J. P. Morgan）
关键词：industrialist, philanthropist/passion for reading/By 1897, he controlled almost the entire steel industry in the United States. Philanthropist donations
主要内容：
After he achieved big success in his career, he turned to philanthropy and interests in education, founding the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Carnegie Mellon University and the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.
Carnegie gave most of his money to establish many libraries, schools, and universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, as well as a pension fund for former employees.

5. Andrew Jackson –学习历史可以更好的解决当代问题
关键词：rotation in office, the spoils system, ordered that all public land could be sold only for silver or gold, the bank panic, the Indian Removal Act, Trail of tears
主要内容：
Spoils system
When Jackson became President, he implemented the theory of rotation in office by political appointments, declaring it "a leading principle in the republican creed."、He believed that rotation in office would prevent the development of a corrupt bureaucracy. To strengthen party loyalty, Jackson's supporters wanted to give the posts to party members, a patronage system. In practice, this meant replacing federal employees with friends or party loyalists. By the end of his term, Jackson dismissed nearly 20% of the Federal employees at the start of it, replacing them with political appointees from his party.、While Jackson did not start the "spoils system", he did encourage its growth for many years to come. It led to its own kind of corruption, including the appointment of officials with no experience related to their responsibilities.
杰克逊遭指控，在美国政治体系中引入“分赃制度”，或称“恩赐” 杰克逊当选总统后，撤换一大群联邦官员，代之以自己的支持者与友人。杰克逊认为，奖赏所属派系并鼓励其他人加入有助民主。
Indian removal
时至今日，安德鲁?杰克逊总统在职期间最受人争议者，或为其印地安人相关政策。杰克逊为印地安人排除政策之倡议者，他于1830年签署印地安人排除法案，成为一项法律。与公众的误解相反的是，该项排除法案并未下令遣走任何印地安人，而是授权总统与印地安部落洽商购地条款，即以东部的部落所有地，交换当时已有州界以外之西部遥远国土。杰克逊执政期间，向西迁移了超过45,000名的印地安人。杰克逊政府当时耗资六千八百万美元，及三千两百万英亩（十三万平方公里）的西部国土，购下了一亿英亩（四十万平方公里）的印地安人土地。搬迁的进程普受美国人欢迎，却使印地安人各族受苦，甚至死亡。杰克逊当时因在这些事件之角色而遭非议，批评逐年增长。罗伯特?雷米尼称这段搬迁印地安人的时期为“美国历史中最令人不快的一章”。


6. Obama Girl ---媒体的影响
关键词：an internet celebrity, I got a crush on(暗恋) Obama
一段网上爆火的视频描述了一位年轻的美女歌手表达自己对民主党总统候选人巴拉克?奥巴马(Barack Obama)的热爱。“奥巴马女孩”在YouTube的浏览次数超过400万次，并且很多次出现在电视新闻和访谈节目中。毫无疑问，这段视频的制作方Barely Political在以娱乐的名义表达政治讽刺。
