单选题{{B}}Passage 6{{/B}}
On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln
went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery.
The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President
Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at
Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward
Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man
and very popular everywhere. It is said that Lincoln prepared
his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his
hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day
Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a
perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of
15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine
minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and
remarked, "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly,
"That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."
Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little
people read the speech. They began to understand better. They began to
appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only
Abraham Lincoln could have made. (6) {{U}}Today, every American
school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart.{{/U}} Now everyone
thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American
history.
