问题      We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.
     I The world is very different now.【C1】________And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
     We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—【C2】________.
    Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe,【C3】________.
    This much we pledge—and more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends.【C4】________. Divided, there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.
    To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far greater iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom—and to remember that,【C5】________.
    To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge—to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.【C6】________. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.
    To that world assembly of-sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support—to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective—to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak—and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.
    Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but request:【C7】________.
     We dare not tempt them with weakness.【C8】________.
     But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom,【C9】________.
    So let us begin anew—remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. 【C10】________.
                                                                                                                                                                                     (From Inaugural Address)

    D. yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind’ s final war
    E. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed
    F. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life
    G. in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty
    H. in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of die tiger ended up inside
    I. that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction
    J. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas
