Hawaii’s native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty over its own affairs. But much of the archipelago’s political establishment, which includes the white Americans who dominated until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.The islands were annexed by the U.S. in 1898 and since then Hawaii’s native people have fared worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the state’s homeless, suffer higher levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major U.S. native group without some degree of autonomy.But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii’s first native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives’ cause a major boost by recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to re-establish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy within the state —as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is a position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent to natives’ interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the U.S.But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood.Native demands are not just based on political grievances, though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA U.S. $136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.1. Hawaii’s native minority refers to ( ).2. Which of the following statements is true of the Hawaiian natives?3.

You should write your answer on the Answer Sheet.42.人们学会了珍惜各自身上具有的一些品质,正是这些品质使群体生活愉悦美好。在这些品质中,最重要的是同情。你若是残忍地对待动物,你就不大可能对其他人善良体贴。你若是对其他人体贴入微,你就不大可能残忍冷漠地对待动物。古代的智者写道“仁者爱人及畜”,原因概出于此。善待动物并不是说我们永远不能让动物承受痛苦。人类自身就是在快乐中、也在痛苦中经受锻炼。因此,有时候也需要用惩罚来训练我们的狗和马,使他们听从我们的指令。在医生的手下,为了疗好创伤或医治疾病,我们得忍受痛苦。为了国家的利益,我们派遣最勇敢的人们直面创伤、疾病和死亡。同样,我们让战马和我们一起亲冒矢石。
