Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was one of the truly great men of all time. He preserved the American Union during the Civil War and proved to the world that democracy can be a lasting form of government. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and many of his other speeches and writings, are classic statements of democratic beliefs and goals.
Lincoln’s outstanding asset was insight. Lincoln realized at the beginning of the Civil War that the Union must be saved. The United States was the only important democracy in the world. Lincoln knew that self – government would be proved a failure if the nation could be destroyed by a minority of its own people. He determined that the nation and democracy would not be destroyed.
Lincoln’s second greatest asset was his ability to express his convictions so clearly, and with such force, that millions of Americans made them their own. Lincoln would have been surprised that some of his speeches came to be honoured as great literature. He sought only to be understood, and to convince. 
Lincoln’s third great source of strength was his iron will. The Civil War had to be carried on until the Union was restored. At times, people in the North wavered in this purpose. Lincoln never doubted that in the end, right would make might, and the North would triumph. His unyielding faith in victory helped to win victory.
51. According to the passage, what was the Gettysburg Address?
A. A declaration of war against the South.	B. A famous talk by Lincoln on democratic principles.
C. One of the essays on government written by Lincoln.	D. Lincoln’s speech at his inauguration.
52. According to the passage, what was Abraham Lincoln’s greatest strength?
A. The ability to see the true nature of a situation.	B. The capacity to express his views in public.
C. His success in becoming president of the United States.	D. The impact of his speeches and writings.
53. The author probably feels that Lincoln ___.
A. was at times too stubborn for his own good.	B. never fully realized the importance of self – government.
C. was as great a writer as he was a politician.	D. was single – handedly responsible for saving the Union.
54. the passage would most likely be found in a textbook on which of the following subjects? 
A. Historical literature	B. Public administration 
C. The Civil War 	D. Political science
55. According to the passage, Abraham Lincoln believed that the North
A. would quickly triumph over the minority of people trying to destroy the Union.
B. would achieve victory through the moral power of its cause.
C. did not have the strength to continue the Civil War for a long time.
D. could waver in its purpose and lose the struggle.

Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of America’s unusual literary figures. An individualist, he rambled through the countryside seeing people and places and making them his own. His experience at earning a living were varied: times in his life he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse, and a newspaper editor. He was a big-hearted man, open and accepting. He gave freely of his time by caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Through he lived in the city he often spent time in the country, developing a strong sense of nature that carried through to his poems. In 1855 he collected many of the verses he had written and published them in one thin volume, Leaves of Grass, a book that he received at the time; it was ridiculed by some poets and generally ignored by others, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. Whitman broke from tradition because he felt that it was necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views.
