TEXT ONE
On Tuesday afternoon, as news about the Virginia Tech murders filtered out, the staff of a
hamburger restaurant in downtown Austin gathered in front of a television suspended over the bar.
A boyish-looking waiter speculated that if the gunman had really used a 9mm handgun, he must
have had an accomplice. That handgun can hold a fair number of bullets, he said, but the gunman
would have had to stop to reload.
It is not unusual for a Texan to be casually conversant about firearms. A state resident does not
need a permit to buy a gun and guns do not have to be registered. Police are, as a result, not sure
how many guns there are in the state. But the number is substantial. In a 2001 poll by the
Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, 36% of respondents said that their household had at
least one.
The state's gun laws are lax, and becoming more so all the time. In March Governor Rick Perry
signed a bill into law that gives increased discretion to open fire. Previously, Texans were justified
in killing someone only if “a reasonable person in the actor's situation would not have retreated”.
The new law, which takes effect in September, eliminates the need for escape attempts. It assumes

that the otherwise law-abiding citizen had a good reason for standing their ground. It also gives
shooters immunity from civil law has plenty of critics. Law- enforcement officials say
the duty to retreat saves lives because it discourages people from escalating conflicts. The new law
seems to protect hysterical trigger-fingers who feel themselves genuinely threatened when no real
threat exists. The law was probably not necessary anyway. There is no carjacking crisis in the state.
And juries have never been sticklers about the duty to retreat. There is widespread sympathy for
the idea that, as Oliver Wendell Holmes put it in 1921, “Detached reflection cannot be demanded
in the presence of an uplifted knife.”
Still, the bill flew through the legislature with broad support. In a way, it simply marks a return to
form for the state. Texas did not acknowledge a duty to retreat until 1973. And Texas is just the
16th state to pass such legislation since Florida did so in 2005. Florida's law goes even further, as
it presumes that any cat burglar has murderous intent.
Texans largely support gun ownership, despite the fact that the state has experienced mass murders
of its own. In 1966 Charles Whitman, a student at the University of Texas at Austin, shot almost
50 passers-by from the top of the campus clock-tower. Sixteen died. And in 1991 George Hennard
drove his truck into a restaurant in the small town of Killeen, where he killed 23 patrons before
killing himself. Before this week, those episodes were, respectively, the deadliest campus shooting
and the worst mass shooting in America's history.

主从复合句
1、概念：
主从复合句由一个主句和一个或一个以上的 从句构成。主句为句子的主体,从句
只用作句子的一个次要成分,不能独立成为一个句子。从句通常由关 联词引导,并
由关联词将从句和主句联系在一起。如：
While the grandparents love the children, they are strict with them.(爷爷奶奶们很爱
孩子,同时对他们也严格要求。)
It seemed as if the meeting would never end.(看起来会议没完没了。)
Hurry up, or (else) you'll be late.(快点, 要不然就来不及了。)
However I cook eggs, the child still refuses to eat them.(不管我用什么方法煮鸡蛋,
小孩还是不肯吃。)
2、分类：
从句按其 在复合句中的作用,分为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、定语从句和
状语从句等。（参见以下各条）
3、各从句在句子中的位置以及用法：
(1) 表语从句：在句子中作连系动词的表语的从句,它位于主句中的系动词之后。
例如：That is why he did not come to school yesterday. It is because you are so
clever.
(2) 宾语从句：在句子中作及物动词或介词的宾语。
①基本形式：（主句＋）连词+从句主语+从句谓语+...
② 关于宾语从句连词的选择：
若从句来源于一个陈述句,那么,连词用that,在口语中that可以省略;
若从句来源于一个一般疑问句,连词则用if 或whether;
若从句来源于一个特殊疑问句,则连词就是疑问词(如what,who,where,when等)
例如：
They believe that the computer will finally take the place of human beings.(他们相信
计算机终将代替人类。) (从句本来就是陈述句)
I wonder whether I should say something for him to the headmaster. (我不知道是不
是该为他在校长跟前说点什么。) (从句来源于一般问句Shall I say something for
him to the headmaster?)
He asked me where he could get such medicine. (他问我在哪儿能搞到那样的药。)
(从句来源于特殊问句Where can he get such medicine? )
③ 宾语从句的时态问题：如果主句是现在时,从句则用现在某一时态,甚至可以用
过去时；
如主句是过去时,从句则相应地使用过去某一时态,遇到客观真理时仍然用现在
时。如：
I think I will do better in English this term. (我想本学期我的英语会学得好点。)
The teacher asked the boy if the earth is round. (老师问那个男孩地球是不是圆的。)
