Freedom is one of the most difficult things to define, yet wars are fought to secure it. Pres. George W. Bush wants freedom for the entire world, but the question remains whether some might not want it and, if they do, cannot handle it. Many desire to be "free of their freedom," for the latter requires assuming responsibility for one’s actions. It is easier to have others choose for us.
Freedom has many meanings arid applications. There is political freedom, involving the ability to choose one’s own form of government, hold elections, etc. Professors are concerned with academic freedom, namely to teach and publish in accord with their scholarly findings. These, though, are secondary meanings and presumably are grounded in something fundamental to the nature of humans. This is called moral freedom—but there’s the rub of it. Is such freedom an illusion One cannot ignore Sigmund Freud’s massive unconscious as a factor in why we act the way we do. Moreover, psychological literature suggests" obsessive-compulsive" acts as more commonplace than we realize. Alcoholics and drug addicts are told they cannot help themselves; instead, they need others to help them break their habit. Let’s face it, we seem to be evolving into a "no fault" society in which freedom is an empty term.
It certainly is easy to rationalize that this or that action really was not free, as one can say we are the product of our genes, passions, and culture. But Jean-Paul Sartre disagreed that freedom is an illusion, claiming instead that it is the very essence of man. Freedom is a human’s distinguishing mark. Essentially, a human is no-thing, and therein lies his freedom.
Although freedom may not be an illusion, in many cases it is illusory. Is it true to say piously (虔诚地) that the cure for any ills in democracy is more democracy, i.e. freedom The Patriot Act certainly raises many hackles as an infringement (侵犯) on freedom; trading civil liberties for security—part of a seemingly continuing trend in society. How strong is the argument that if we are not free, then laws and prohibitions make no sense Does knowledge, a seemingly necessary component involved in free acts, restrict or enlarge our freedom The Socratic position is that, if one really knew what was right, one would do what was right.
Moslems maintain that it is the "will of Allah" that governs all things and we only can hope to conform to it. This is not entirely foreign to Christian theology. The problem of predestination is a formidable one challenging freedom, maintaining as it does that, even before creation.
Like most dilemmas posed by philosophy, perhaps it should be taken with reserve: "All arguments," concluded 19th-century philosopher and psychologist William James, "are against freedom; all experience is for it./
The phrase" free of their freedom" (Line 3, Paragraph1) can be paraphrased as ______
A:released from responsibility. B:getting rid of their freedom. C:gaining absolute freedom. D:free from being controlled.

Passage Two
| The earliest immigrants to North
America found Indians already living there. The Indians numbered about 500,000
at that time. Their society was a primitive society, but they lived peacefully
and welcomed the white strangers to the land. However, these early immigrants
from Europe didn’t want to share the land with the natives. They killed off many
of the Indians, seized their land or pushed them off to lands farther away.
Today the Indians, not more than half a million, live in poverty and misery on
the land on which they were once masters. The earliest immigrants were the Spanish, who settled in the southern part of what is now the U.S. The next large group were the English, after the English came the French, Dutch, Irish, Germans, and other nationality groups, mostly European. Another early group to arrive were the Negroes. But they were brought in as slaves from Africa. They didn’t win freedom till generations later. |
A:The Negroes came to North America in order to work for the earliest immigrants. B:The Negroes also belonged to the earliest immigrants to the North America. C:The Negroes were brought to America by chance. D:The Negroes didn’t win freedom until now.
