21 Can you guess? An interesting story What’s the result of the Presidential Election( 总统竞选) ? In the 1960’s the Presidential Election ( 总统竞选) in the USA was between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. All information suggested that the result of the election would be very close. The main focus( 焦点 ) of attention was a debate( 辩论 ) on television. Richard Nixon wore a light coloured suit while John F. Kennedy wore a dark suit. The people who listened to the debate on the radio thought that Nixon had won. On the other hand, those who watched the debate on TV (on Black and White TVs - not colour) believed that Kennedy had won. Who do you think would win the election? Why?

Nixon wore a light coloured suit and Kennedy wore a dark suit. 3.According to the passage, who was better at making a speech( 演讲 )? Nixon. 4.Who thought that Kennedy would win? The people who watched the debate on TV. 5. Imagine( 设想 ) you were an audience( 观众 ) before the Black and White TV, which one do you think would win the election( 选举 )? Why?

23 According to the two pictures, who will you support?

24 Is this the first time that the choice of colour has decided (决定) the leader of the Western World? It is now believed that Kennedy looked a more excellent person because of his dark suit. Nixon’s light coloured suit made him look much smaller and less important. After the TV debate Kennedy took a lead in the election polls (民意测验 ) and won the Presidential Election.
