In the shadowy world of espionage, he had a good professional reputa

15、tion-a spys spy. So when Robert Hanssen decided to switch sides, he sent a letter to Cherkashin offering to work for the Russians.“I would not have contacted you,“ Hanssen wrote, “if it were not reported that you were held in esteem within your organization.“ Today, Cherkashin, 69, is a prosperous M

16、oscow businessman. He owns a big house in the suburbs and drives a light blue 1986 Chevrolet, a trophy car in the streets of Moscow. “Ive been on my pension now for 10 years,“ he said when NEWSWEEK contacted him by phone last week. “Im in the private-security business.“ Cherkashin didnt want to disc

17、uss the Hanssen case. “I dont like to talk about other peoples affairs,“ said the former spymaster.He wasnt alone; no one in the Kremlin wanted to talk publicly about the exposure of Hanssen either. But that doesnt mean the Russians are bashful about spying on America. President Vladimir Putin, hims

18、elf a former colonel in the now defunct KGB, has revived the fortunes of Russian intelligence agencies. Oleg Gordievsky, a KGB officer who defected to Britain in 1985, estimates that the number of Russian spies now in the United States has reached “a record figure-more than 300“.in Putin-style espio

19、nage, ideology is out, and so are most acts of subversion aimed at the United States. What Russia needs now is information: military, technological and economic. Putin wants quick growth for Russias defense industry, sensing lucrative markets overseas. But he has written that it would take as many a

20、s 15 years for Russia to catch up with even the poorest countries in the West. “Scientific institutes wont be able to do it; it costs a lot of money,“ says Jolanta Darczewska, a Polish expert on Russias intelligence establishment. “Its better to steal-cheaper and faster.“Like many other Russian agen

21、ts in the United States, Hanssen apparently was mothballed by the Kremlin after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. His masters feared he might be exposed by a security breach in Moscow, and they were getting information of more immediate value from their mole in the CIA, Aldrich Ames, anyway.

22、 The intelligence agencies began a comeback under Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, another former spymaster. Then, a few weeks after Putin became Boris Yeltsins prime minister in 1999, Hanssen was “reactivated“. With espionage picking up again, his counterintelligence know-how may have given Moscow

23、a map of Americas defenses against spies.Putin purports not to care about Washingtons reaction to Russian spying. “During the Yeltsin years, they had instructions to avoid any scandals that would spoil relations with the West,“ says Gordievsky. “What Putin told his foreign-intelligence agency was, D

24、ont worry. Im not afraid of scandals.“What Putin may be worried about, however, is moles in his own security service. Some of the information revealed in the FBI affidavit last week has touched off a wave of concern in Moscow. The Russians fear it could only have been obtained from a source within R

25、ussian intelligence, and that has led officials to suspect U.S. infiltration into the SVR. “If you look at the affidavit, they have documents from the archive of the SVR, said Oleg Kalugin, the former KGB general who says he brought Cherkashin to Washington. “Some of the references are from 1999.“ T

26、here were no Russian defectors from that time who could have provided the Americans with the information, officials say.So are Washington and Moscow back to a spy-vs.-spy standoff?. Gordievsky, among others, thinks Russian intelligence may have misread the new Bush administration, predicting it woul

27、d be more “pragmatic“ and easier to work with than the Clinton White House. But so far, Washington has been no pushover. Bush advisers like Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld insist that the United States will go ahead with a national missile defense system, despite Russias opposition. Last week Mosc

28、ow had to back down a bit, stressing its willingness to talk about a missile shield. As Robert Hanssen has learned, intelligence is hardly a sure thing.（分数：5.00）(1).In Putin-style espionage, _.（分数：1.00）A.ideology is out, and most acts of subversion are aimed at the United StatesB.the aim of its ideo

29、logy is to subvert the United StatesC.ideology and most acts of subversion aimed at the United States are out-datedD.ideology and most acts of subversion aimed at the United States are in the open air(2).Hanssen apparently was mothballed by the Kremlin after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991

She explained: “This medium came to my house, sat in my front room, and went into a trance. An old mans body

I was absolutely terrified at first-his hands became all arthritic and rheumatoid and his voice was old and staggered.

Dave describes the day he almost died swimming with his son: “As neither my wife or I can swim we sat at the side of the pool, watching my son splash about. I decided to climb into the

44、shallows and join in the fun. Almost immediately, I slipped, and fell. As he lay at the bottom of the pool Dave saw a “white mist“ at the end, which got closer until he saw his dead grandmother emerge from it. “Her arms were outstretched towards me and she was dressed in a white silken gown,“ he say

My grandmother, Amelia, was now very close and 1 knew that if I turned to her, I would die. I looked at my son and knew he needed me. Immediately, the
