          Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000passively resisting protestors Friday in an attemptto break up the largest antinuclear demonstrationever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on theconstruction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclearpower plant scheduled to provide power to most ofsouthern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest wascontinuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up thepressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that theproject was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrationswould go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial systemwould collapse.

          Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the powerproject and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years."This project willbegin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Thosewho break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with accordingto the law," he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle thedisturbances.

          The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators brokethrough police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read"No Nukes is Good Nukes,""Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power," and" Stop Private Profits from PublicPeril." They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failedto dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstratorsone by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their ownpower. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbingthe peace.

          寫作方法與文章大意

          這是一則有關反對核電站的群眾示威抗議的新聞導報,采用對比手法。警方鎮(zhèn)壓;群眾堅決抗議。第一段就寫出了盡管警方釋放催淚瓦斯,逮捕了5000多人,示威組織者申明抗議要繼續(xù)下去,越來越多的抗議者參與對當局加壓,想迫使其廢除在當?shù)亟⒑穗娬镜挠媱潯F淅碛墒窃谌丝诿芗貐^(qū)建站不安全,在海灣產生熱污染,核廢料處理無有效方法。

          第二段敘述了州長大人堅決維護核電站的立場,不再考慮計劃修改問題,三年內要完成核電站建設。屆時,本州人民得益。對企圖破壞計劃實施而違法的人將以法處置。已集結全州警察加強對付這次搗亂。

          第三段講了雙方現(xiàn)場交戰(zhàn):星期五破曉,數(shù)千示威者(高舉示威牌,上寫:沒有核電站就是好的核電站;不要核能,要太陽能等)沖過建設基地警察警戒線,警察用催淚瓦斯無效后,開始一個一個地抓逮示威者,被捕者將被控以非法集會、侵入和擾亂治安等罪名。
