Pearl Harbor Speech, December 8, 1941

To the Congress of the United States



Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.



The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with the government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.



Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.



It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.



The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.



Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.



Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.



Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.



Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.



Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.



This morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.



Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.



As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us.



No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.



I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.



I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, Dec. 7, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.



Before the attack on Pear Harbor, how would people define the relationship between Japan and the United States?

A.
cordial
B.
hostile
C.
neutral
D.
dependent

Read the excerpt from "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity."


It was a thrilling time to be a scientist. The year the Curies were married, 1895, a German physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen discovered a new kind of ray that could be used to “see” inside people and photograph their bones. He called them X rays. The X stood for “unknown.”


Not long after, the French physicist Henri Becquerel discovered that uranium let out another type of ray. These rays were weak compared to X rays, and even Becquerel himself did not think his discovery of much importance. But Marie found the rays fascinating. Where did they come from? How were they produced? She decided to examine these mysterious “Becquerel rays” for her advanced research.

Question:
What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Wilhelm Roentgen and Henri Becquerel in "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity"?


to explain who inspired Curie to study rays


to explain the difference between an X ray and a Becquerel ray


to describe important mentors for Curie


to describe the difference between uranium and radium

CHAPTER II—THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt
From White Fang
By Jack London
꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷
Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.

As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.

At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:
