A-bomb is a weapon deriving its explosive force from the release of atomic energy through the fission(splitting)of heavy nuclei.,The first atomic bomb was produced at a laboratory in Los Alamos,New Mexico,and successfully tested on July 16,1945.This was the culmination of a large U.S.army program that was part of the Manhattan Project.It began in 1940,two years after the German scientists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman discovered nuclear fission.,Cultural background,1,Audiovisual supplement,C,ultural background,Atomic Bomb,6/171,Cultural background,2,Audiovisual supplement,C,ultural background,On Aug.6,1945,an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima with an estimated equivalent explosive force of 12,500 tons of TNT,followed three days later by a second,more powerful,bomb on Nagasaki.Both bombs caused widespread death,injury,and destruction,and there is still considerable debate about the need to have used them.,7/171,Cultural background,3,Audiovisual supplement,C,ultural background,Nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction powered by atomic,rather than chemical,processes.Nuclear weapons produce large explosions and hazardous radioactive byproducts by means of either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.After World War II,the proliferation of nuclear weapons became an increasing cause of concern throughout the world.At the end of the 20th century,the vast majority of such weapons were held by the United States and the former Soviet Union;other countries that possess known nuclear capabilities are the Great Britain,France,China,Pakistan,and India.Israel also has,Nuclear Weapon,8/171,Cultural background,4,Audiovisual supplement,C,ultural background,nuclear weapons but has not confirmed that fact publicly;North Korea has conducted a nuclear test explosion but probably does not have a readily deliverable nuclear weapon;and South Africa formerly had a small arsenal.Over a dozen other countries can,or soon could,make nuclear weapons.,9/171,Cultural background,5,Audiovisual supplement,C,ultural background,On August 6,1945,the first atomic bomb attack occurred over Hiroshima,Japan.Three days later,on August 9,Nagasaki,Japan,was bombed.The bombing of Nagasaki was the last major act of World War II and within days,on August 15,1945,the Japanese surrendered.,In estimating the death toll from the attacks,there are several factors that make it difficult to arrive at reliable figures:inadequacies in the records given the confusion of the times,the many victims who died months or years after the bombing as a result of radiation exposure,and not least,the pressure to,The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,10/171,Cultural background,6,Audiovisual supplement,C,ultural background,either exaggerate or minimize the numbers,depending upon political agenda.That said,it is estimated that by December 1945,as many as 140,000 had died in Hiroshima by the bomb and its associated effects.In Nagasaki,roughly 74,000 people died of the bomb and its aftereffects.,In both cities,most of the casualties were civilians.The intentional killing of civilians by the Allies of World War II,who claimed that their cause was just,raised moral questions about the just course of the war.,11/171,Global Reading-general,General analysis,Structural,features,Through introducing Yamahatas pictures,the author aims at bringing to peoples attention what kind of catastrophic consequences nuclear threat may lead to and that the unpredictability of nuclear attack might make any city in the world become the next target.Therefore,the only way to keep this world safe from nuclear peril is for people to take action to dispel nuclear weaponry from the earth.,Rhetorical,features,12/171,Global Reading-structural,1,General analysis,Structural,features,This argumentative essay describes nuclear destruction through a Japanese photographers pictures.The text comprises three parts.,Part I,(,Paragraph 1,):The writer describes the photographs and how a view of mountains in the background of one picture powerfully captures how thoroughly the city was destroyed by the atomic bomb.,Rhetorical,features,13/171,Global Reading structural2,Part II,(,Paragraphs 2 3,):The author argues that the bombing of Nagasaki is more representative of the nuclear peril threatening the world than that of Hiroshima,because it suggests that nuclear weapons can be used again and threaten everyone,so we need to take action to dispel the nuclear threat from the Earth.,Part III,(,Paragraph 4,):He restates his main idea,i.e.we should not just worry about the nuclear peril but take action to eliminate it to create a safer world.,General analysis,Structural,features,Rhetorical,features,14/171,Global Reading-rhetorical,1,In English,information can be organized in various ways.One of the effective ways of emphasizing some information is to put it after the word,but,in the“(not)A but B”structure.In the text,the author uses this rhetorical device many times.For instance,The photographs display the fate of a single city,but their meaning is universal.(Paragraph 2),Practice:,Pick out some other sentences with the same structure,and analyze the effect they achieve.,General analysis,Structural,features,Rhetorical,features,15/171,Global reading-rhetorical2,General analysis,Structural,features,Rhetorical,features,1)The true measure of the event lies not in what remains,but in all that has disappeared.(Paragraph 1),2)the challenge is not just to apprehend the nuclear,peril but to seize a God-given opportunity to dispel it,once and for all.(Paragraph 3),3)one showing not what we would lose through our,failure but what we would gain by our success.,(Paragraph 3),Apart from the“A but B”sentence structure,we can also find the“A yet B”type:,16/171,And we can find a sentence that organizes information in a similar way without the use of the conjunction“but”or“yet”:,6)Arriving a half-century late,they are still news.,(Paragraph 2),Global reading-rhetorical3,4)Nagasaki has always been in the shadow of Hiroshima.,Yet the bombing of Nagasaki is in certain respects the,fitter symbol of the nuclear danger that still hangs over,us.(Paragraph 2),5)Yamahatas pictures afford a glimpse of the end of the,world.Yet in our day,.(Paragraph 3),General analysis,Structural,features,Rhetorical,features,17/171,On August 9,1945,the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki,Yosuke Yamahata,a photographer serving in the Japanese army,was,dispatched,to the destroyed city.The hundred or so pictures he took the next day,constitute,the fullest photographic record of nuclear destruction in existence.Hiroshima,destroyed three days earlier,had largely escaped the cameras lens in the first day after the bombing.,It was therefore left to Yamahata to record,methodically,and,as it happens,with a great and simple artistry,the effects,on a human population of a nuclear weapon only hours after,Jonathan Schell,A VIEW OF MOUNTAINS,Detailed reading1,Detailed reading,1,18/171,Detailed reading2,it had been used.Some of Yamahatas pictures show corpses charred in the peculiar way in which a nuclear fireball chars its victims.They have been burned by light,technically speaking,by the“thermal pulse”,and their bodies are often,branded,with the patterns of their clothes,whose colors absorb light in different degrees.One photograph shows a horse twisted under the cart it had been pulling.Another shows a heap of something that once had been a human being hanging over a ledge into a ditch.A third shows a girl who has somehow survived unwounded standing in the open mouth of a bomb shelter,Detailed reading,19/171,Detailed reading3,and smiling an unearthly smile,shocking us with the sight of ordinary life,which otherwise seems to have been left behind for good in the scenes we are,witnessing,.Stretching into the distance on all sides are fields of rubble,dotted,with fires,and,in the background,a view of mountains.We can see the mountains because the city is gone.,That absence,even more than wreckage,contains the heart of the matter.,The true measure of the event lies not in what remains but in all that has disappeared.,Detailed reading,20/171,Detailed reading4,It took a few seconds for the United States to destroy Nagasaki with the worlds second atomic bomb,but it took fifty years for Yamahatas pictures of the event to make the journey back from Nagasaki to the United States.They were shown for the first time in this country in 1995,at the International Center for Photography in New York.Arriving a half-century late,they are still news.The photographs display the fate of a single city,but their meaning is universal,since,in our age of nuclear arms,what happened to Nagasaki can,in a flash,happen to any city in the world.,In the photographs,Nagasaki,comes into its own,.,Nagasaki has always been,in the shadow of,Hiroshima,as if,Detailed reading,2,21/171,Detailed reading5,Detailed reading,the human imagination had,stumbled,to exhaustion in the wreckage of the first,ruined,city without reaching even the outskirts of the second,.Yet the bombing of Nagasaki is in certain respects the fitter symbol of the nuclear danger that still,hangs over,us.It is proof that,having once used nuclear weapons,we can use them again.It introduces the idea of a series,the series that,with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons remaining in existence,continues to threaten everyone.(The unpredictable,open-ended character of the series is suggested by the fact that the second bomb originally was to be dropped on the city of Kokura,which was,spared,Nagasakis fate only because bad weather,22/171,Detailed reading6,Detailed reading,protected it from view.)Each picture therefore seemed,not so much,an image of something that happened a half-century ago as a window cut into the wall of the photography center showing what soon could easily happen to New York.Wherever the exhibit might travel,moreover,the view of threatened future from these“windows”would be roughly accurate,since,although every,intact,city is different from every other,all cities that suffer nuclear destruction will look much the same.,23/171,Detailed reading7,Detailed reading,Yamahatas pictures afford a,glimpse,of the end of the world.Yet in our day,when the challenge is not just to,apprehend,the nuclear,peril,but to seize a God-given opportunity to,dispel,it once and for all,we seem to need,in addition,some other picture to counterpoise against ruined Nagasaki,one showing not what we would lose through our failure but what we would gain by our success.What might that picture be,though?How do you show the opposite of the end of the world?Should it be Nagasaki,intact and alive,before the bomb was dropped,or perhaps the spared city of Kokura?,3,24/171,Detailed reading8,Detailed reading,Should it be a child,or a mother and child,or perhaps the Earth itself?None seems adequate,for how can we give a definite form to that which can assume infinite forms,namely,the lives of all human beings,now and in the future?Imagination,faced with either the end of the world or its continuation,must remain incomplete.Only action can satisfy.,25/171,Detailed reading9,Detailed reading,Once,the arrival in the world of new generations took care of itself.Now,they can come into existence only if,through an act of faith and collective will,we,ensure,their right to exist.Performing that act is the greatest of the responsibilities of the generations now alive.The gift of time is the gift of life,forever,if we know how to receive it.,4,26/171,Why is a view of mountains provided by a picture so,significant that it was chosen as the title of the essay?,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,1,A view of mountains in the distance rather than the wreckage is meant to remind the viewer of the city that was leveled to the ground by the atomic bomb and of the normal life that would have been going on there.This is where the significance of the picture lies.,Detailed reading,27/171,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,2,Detailed reading,Why are Yamahatas pictures still news?,Because it was the first time that Americans had ever seen the pictures since the atomic bombing fifty years ago.,28/171,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,3,Detailed reading,In what way(s)is the bombing of Nagasaki the fitter symbol of the nuclear danger?,The bombing of Nagasaki is regarded as the fitter symbol of the nuclear peril in two respects.First,it is evidence that nuclear weapons can be used again to destroy human civilization.Second,the fact that Nagasaki had not been the originally
