课时跟踪练(三) Lesson 2 Lesson 3— Pre reading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Known as “Mahatma” (great soul), Gandhi was the leader of the Indian nationalist movement against British rule, and was widely considered the father of his country. His belief of non-violent (非暴力的) protest to achieve political and social progress has been very influential. He was born on October 2,1869 in India. After university, he went to London to train as a lawyer. He returned to India in 1891 and in 1893 accepted a job at an Indian law firm in Durban, South Africa. Gandhi was appalled at the treatment of Indian immigrants there, and joined the struggle to get basic rights for them. During his 20 years in South Africa he was sent to prison many times. Influenced mainly by Hinduism, but also by writers including Tolstoy and Thoreau, Gandhi developed the 搒atyagraha?(devotion to truth), a new non璿iolent way to correct wrongs. In 1914, the South African government accepted many of Gandhi抯 demands. Gandhi returned to India shortly afterwards. By 1920, Gandhi was an important figure in Indian politics. He changed the Indian National Congress Agenda, and his program of peaceful non-cooperation with the British which included boycotts (抵制) of British goods, led to the arrests of thousands of people. In 1922, Gandhi himself was sentenced to six years?imprisonment. He was set free after two years and withdrew from politics and devoted himself to trying to improve Hind璏uslim relations, which had worsened. In 1931, Gandhi attended the Round Table Conference in London, as the only representative of the Indian National Congress, but he resigned from the party in 1934 to protest its use of violence as a political tool. He was replaced as leader by Jawaharlal Nehru. On January 30, 1948, he was murdered. 语篇解读：本文介绍了甘地的人生经历。甘地是印度民族解放运动著名的领导人、非暴力不合作运动的倡导者。 1．Whats the first paragraph mainly about?
