Between the end of the World War II and the early sixties, a baby boom occurred in the US, and people born during that period were known as the baby boomers. Bill Clinton is no doubt a typical representative of that generation. Like the 1992 general elections, the presidential election of 1997 was not merely a skirmish between two political parties but also a generation war between the baby boomers and the G.I. generation represented by Bush and Dole.
16. ____________
William Jefferson Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in the mountain city of Hope, Arkansas. In English, "hope" means "xiwang".
17. ____________
The family circumstances of Clinton’s childhood years were very unfortunate. Clinton’s own father died in a traffic accident 3 months before Clinton was born. His stepfather, Roger Clinton, was a habitual drunkard, which caused discord in the family.
18. ____________
Self-reliant, diligent and hard working, Clinton gained a good education. In the fall of 1964, he enrolled in Georgetown University in Washington D.C., and majored in international politics. After graduation, he won the famous Rhodes scholarship pursued advanced studies for 2 years in England’s Oxford University. In 1971, he entered Yale University’s law college and obtained a doctorate in law two years later. During his university days, Clinton actively participated in the students’ movement against the Vietnam War, avoided army enlistment, and took a trip to Moscow in 1970.
19. ____________
After leaving Yale, Clinton returned to his hometown in Arkansas where he began his political career. In 1974, when he was not quite 28, he formally campaigned for congress. His vivid and dramatic first attempt greatly threatened his opponents. Though defeated in his campaign, his political talent received confirmation in news and political circles, winning him the title of "child prodigy". In 1976, Clinton won the post of State Attorney General. In 1978, he succeeded in his campaign for the Governorship and at 32 became the youngest governor in the history of the state of Arkansas. In 1980, he lost to the Republicans in his campaign for re-election but two years later he staged a comeback, which won him the nickname of "undefeated kid".
20. ____________
In October 1997, when China’s president Jiang Zemin visited the US, he and president Clinton reached agreement in the setting up of a constructive, strategic partnership for the 21st century. President Clinton announced that he would move up his visit to China to the end of June in order to give a fresh stimulus to the development and improvement of Sino-US relations.
[A] Such an experience helped Clinton become a man who knew his own mind, had self-restrain and self-control, and was good at competition.
[B] He kept the Governorship right up until January 1993, when he officially became the master of the White House. His first term of office expired in 1997, but he defeated republican Dole and was re-elected, and served as president.
[C] Clinton’s triumph signaled a shift of US political power from the older generation to the younger one, and might reflect developments of far reaching significance in today’s American politics.
[D] No wonder that later on Clinton’s supporters often called him "the man from the city of hope".
[E] President Clinton has responded by making public apologies to US citizens, who, as recently as the 1950s, were used as guinea-pigs in recent experiments involving radiation and sexually transmitted diseases.
[F] These experiences helped him mature early, but left him vulnerable to political controversies later, and branded him as a young liberal.
