大学英语六级阅读理解:林肯总统

President Lincoln1

The Civil War2 lasted four years. It ended in 1865 . President Lincoln signed the order that made the slaves in the South free . Soon there would be no more slavery in America.

All the states were united again. The Union was saved. But the damages of war had to be mended. The country must be led back to peace.

President Lincoln looked old. His face was lined3 with worry.

One evening Mrs. Lincoln wanted to cheer up4 the President. She asked him to take her to the theater. The President and Mrs. Lincoln sat in a box5. Halfway through the play a shot was fired. President Lincoln was killed. An actor named John Wilkes Booth had shot the President. Booth was a queer, half crazy person, who had been upset by the war.

People all over the country, North and South, were shocked by the terrible news. The whole country had lost its great leader.

The train that carried President Lincoln back home to Springfield was draped6 in black. Crowds of people stood by the railroad tracks in every city and town. Some waited all night on lonesome country roads to see the train go by. Many of the people wept.

The train moved slowly. Its mournful whistle blew across the prairie where young Abe Lincoln had lived. Abraham Lincoln was buried in Springfield, Illinois, where he lived the happiest years with his family.

In Washington , D. C., the Lincoln Memorial7 helps Americans remember their great President. There is a beautiful statue to Lincoln . His face looks down on the thousands of people who come there. It makes each one feel the deep kindness and understanding that Abraham Lincoln showed to all people while he lived.
