2、Pakistani jet would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissingers trip was given the name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China.

3、m. They accepted the story that he would be kept shut up for at least a few days and began making arrangements for their own activities.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities（联络设备）between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word

9、rt Bill Clinton have acknowledged their political differences, but they wrapped up their historic summit（高级会晤）emphasizing（强调）the importance of their common interest. As Mark Thun reports from Washington, the two leaders hammered out agreements on a number of issues（问题，争论点）,although human rights rema
10、ins a sticking point.The two sides came to agreements over plenty of items, which could shake the world for a long time to come. The most important is probably the high-level dialogues and consultations（磋商）. The Presidents will visit each other regularly, there will be a Washington-Beijing communica

With a chime swinging leisurely only a few steps away, President Bill Clinton spoke of a better future,“Let us strengthen the bonds between us, let us pursue common causes, let us address our differences openly and with respect, let us build a better world for our children.”And Mr Ji
16、ang gave a similarly optimistic reply, partly in English, “Let us, the Chinese and the Americans, join hands, and together with people around the world, work hard to bring about the new century of peace, stability and the prosperity.” 60What style is this short passage?ATV news broadcasting.
