The military services recently have shown more interest in family issues, including those related to father-child relationships. This interest parallels the growing recognition by military leaders of the interdependency between military effectiveness and family functioning. It has teen found that the extent to which members are satisfied with their family life is reflected in their job performance and is eventually tied to their decision to stay in the military.
This recognition, coupled with the changing image of the military community and family, has helped to provide more support services for military fathers. At the present time, the military services include a number of organizations that provide an impressive range of services and programs for fathers. Among these are Family Support Centers, Chaplain Services, Parent Educating Programs, Child-Care Services, and Recreational Services for fathers and their children. In addition，each service branch has established policies and procedures for handling incidents of child abuse and neglect. A key aspect of these important moves is their focus on prevention rather than punishment and discharge.
Despite military efforts to provide services for families，military fathers have been unwilling in the past to seek services or ask for help with a personal or family problem. They often believe that if they seek help for a problem, they may risk the danger of putting themselves in very unfavorable conditions and thus ruin their careers. As a consequence, military services and programs in recent years have increasingly adopted the concept of reaching out to military fathers to prevent certain problems in their planning efforts.

Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards，that is to say of accommodation a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this kind of existence，but if the case is such，he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions，such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom，and so on，as well as such details，important notwithstanding，as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings，and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.

Becket not only traveled light, he lived light. In all the world he owned just the clothes he stood up in, a full suitcase and a bank account. Arriving anywhere with these possessions, he might just as easily put up for a month or a year as for a single night. For long stays，not less than a month, he might take a furnished flat, sometimes even a house. But whatever the length, he rarely needed anything he did not have with him. He was, he liked to think, a self-contained person.
Becket had one occasional anxiety: the suspicion that he owned more than that would fit comfortably into the case. The feeling, when it came, was the signal for him to throw something away or just leave it lying about. This was the automatic fate of his worn-out clothes for example. Having no use for choice or variety, he kept just a raincoat, a suit, a pair of shoes and a few shirts, socks and so on; no more in the clothing line. He bought and read many books，and left them wherever he happened to be sitting when he finished them. They quickly found new owners.
Becket was a professional traveler, interested and interesting. He liked to get the feeling of a place by living in it, reading its newspapers, watching its TV, discussing its affairs. Though Becket'[s health gave him no cause for alarmm, he made a point of seeing a doctor as soon as he arrived anywhere. "A doctor knows a place and its people better than anyone", he used to say. He never went to see a doctor; he always sent for one; that，he found, was the quickest way to confidences, which came out freely as soon as he mentioned that he was a writer.
Becket was an artist as well. He painted pictures of his places and，when he had gathered enough information, he wrote about them. He sold his work，through an agent，to newspapers and magazines, it was an agreeable sort of life for a good social mixer, and as Becket never stayed anywhere for long，he enjoyed the satisfying advantage of paying very little in tax.
11
What do we know about Becket's possessions?
A.

The significance of trust is that it allows the parties involved in the relationship to indicate how they feel, how they behave, and where they disagree without fear of contradiction or reprisal（报复）.Trusting relationships encourage people to disclose their plans and perceptions without hurting themselves or others. Hurt, whether real or imagined，is one of the most harmful consequences of personal relationships with other human beings. In situations which you feel that the other person has the power and intent to hurt you, trust diminishes quickly. Thus a climate of distrust appears in your relations with others. Conversely, if I can say whatever comes to my mind without getting hurt, a climate of trust pervades the relationship. Trust is a perceptual phenomenon that evolves from our experiences with others. If trusting were so easy, we would not need to make such a point of its importance in human relationships. To say that a person should trust others is to diminish the difficulty of producing trust. In mutual relationships, both parties must behave toward one another in trusting ways. Even though it hurts in the pit of the stomach（心窝），you must trust the other person and encourage him or her to say those things that demand a trusting response. No one likes to get hurt and few like to hurt others, especially not those others who are close to us in person-to-person relationships. We avoid expressing our true feelings lest we become the target of a revenging attack from the other person. If I indicate that I do not appreciate having you smoke in my car, I may love you as a friend or I may become the subject of ridicule for allowing little things like that to bother me. If that happens，I will be less open and less trusting of you the next time.

We buried Donald Brown last May. He was murdered by four men who wanted to rob the supermarket manager he was protecting. Partolman Brown was 61 years old. In just six months he and his wife had planned to retire to Florida. Now there will be no retirement in the sun，and she is alone.
Donald Brown was the second police officer to die since I became Police Commissioner of Boston in 1972. The first was Detective John Schroeder, shot in a pawnshop（当铺）, robbery in November 1970. John Schroeder was the brother of Walter Schroeder, who was killed in a bank robbery in 1970. Their names are together on the honor roll in Police Headquarters.
At least two of these police officers were shot by a handgun，the kind almost anyone can buy nearly everywhere for a few dollars. Ownership of handguns has become so widespread that this weapon is no longer merely the instrument of crime; it is now a cause of violent crime. Of the 11 Boston police officers killed since 1962, seven were killed with handguns; of the 18 wounded by guns since 1962, 17 were shot with handguns.
Gun advocates are fond of saying that guns don't kill，people do. But guns do kill. Half of the people who commit suicide do so with handguns. Fifty-four percent of the murders committed in 1972 were committed with handguns.
No one can convince me, after returning from patrolman Brown，s funeral, that we should allow people to own handguns. I know that many Americans feel deeply and honestly that they have a right to own and enjoy guns. I am asking that they give them up. I am not asking for registration or licensing, or the outlawing of cheap guns. I am saying that no private citizen, whatever his claim, should possess a handgun. Only police officers should.
21

A.
handguns are the cause of violent crime
B.
